Your Questions About Gardening

How do you take care of outdoor plants in winter?

I am no expert when it comes to gardening. This spring, I accidentally locked myself out of the house and, having nothing better to do till my husband got home and let me in, I went to walmart and bought a bunch of gardening supplies, and planted a flower bed in our front yard. That one bed has progressed into pots, and hanging plants in our front and back yard, and now that cold weather is on its way, I realize that I have no idea how to take care of plants in the winter. Can I just leave them out? will they just die off and come back next spring? I can take my potted ones inside, but what about the ones in beds, are there any precautions I need to take, or will they be ok? We live in south Texas, so it should not get too cold, but it has been known to freeze here. I have various wildflowers and other garden plants in beds, Amaryllis and Calla Lilly, Impatiens, and a small Kumquat tree in pots. Is there any kind of maintenance I need to do to them over the winter?

What are these seeds in my garden?

I decided to pull out the gardening supplies and do a little makeover to this tiny garden I have at the front of my house. I was pulling out weeds when I saw these small things appear from underneath the soil when I pulled it away. I don’t know anything about seeds, but these looked like tiny onions and when they were bigger they looked like chestnuts. They have a brownish skin and are white underneath.

So are these from actual plants, weeds, or are they more maple trees growing in my garden?

Thank you for your help.
