Your Questions About Gardening

Carol asks…

What’s the easiest flower to pot and keep alive?

I want to pot some flowers for my front porch. Unfortunatly I did not inharite the green thumb from my father. My first attempt at this failed myserioubly. So, I need some help and advice. Something simple, yet pretty and colorful. Step by step instructions would be great but please don’t feel obligated. I talked to the garden people at Lowe’s when I made my first attempt and obviously what they told me didn’t work out. So please, HELP!!!!!!!!
My location: Kansas and my porch gets mostly sun

GardenersCardiff answers:

This is what I used in my barrel and several other pots last year as I got accustomed to my recent climate change. Very simple, looks great, easy care.
You will need potting soil(obviously), a small to medium bag of Miracle Grow should work well.
A 6-12 inch pot(s) depending on how much you want to do
Geraniums as a pp noted are easy to care for, and splendid for potted arrangments. Lets say, pick three color of your choice.
Asparagus fern(it looks like a fern, buy a six pack or two of this…..)Spike plants(not sure what the real name is but ask any nursery attendant and they can help)(buy in odd numbers, one for a 6-8 in pot, three for bigger pots)
Water everything well about an hour before you plan on planting. Plant the spike plant(s) in the center, then the geraniums and the asparagus fern alternating around that. Try to keep at least two inches away from the edge of the pot as the soil dries out faster there. Pat dirt into the areas around the plants that need it, and then a little more for good measure as the dirt level will sink when you water it the first few times. If you need to, you can always add more dirt later but don’t over do it. You would like to keep the dirt an inch or more below the top. Done! Now water well. Depending on how hot it gets where you are, and weather or not its protected from the rain, you may have to water every other day, or once a week. As the pp said, poke a finger in there, and if the top few inches are getting really dry water it. Other obvious signs are wilting, or browning up of the plants. Dont over water, the leavs turn yellow and drop, or you end up rotting the stems of the plants and they die that way. All in all its a pretty, easy arrangment. You can legthen the time the geraniums will bloom by dead heading, or pulling off the dead flowers. Alternatives for the flowers would be petunias, both traditional and the newer trailing kinds. Petunias can be a little more finicky but there are many more colors to choose from. Be creative. Ive been gardening for 12 years, here in AZ and in Minnesota. Don’t be hard on yourself. Best of luck I hope this helps!!!

Laura asks…

Point of view?? easy 10 points to first correct answer.?

What is the point of view of the paragraph below??

It’s strange that all this is still so clear to me, now that summer
has long since fled and time has had its way. A grindstone stands
where the bleeding tree stood, just outside the kitchen door, and now
if an oriole sings in the elm, its song seems to die up in the leaves, a
silvery dust. The flower garden is prim, the house a gleaming white,
and the pale fence across the yard stands straight and spruce. But
sometimes (like right now), as I sit in the cool, green-draped parlor,
the grindstone begins to turn, and time with all its changes is ground
away-and I remember Doodle.
Doodle was just about the craziest brother a boy every had. Of
course, he wasn’t crazy crazy like old Miss Leedie, who was in love
with President Wilson and wrote him a letter every day, but was a
nice crazy, like someone you meet in your dreams. He was born
when I was six and was, from the outset, a disappointment. He
seemed all head, with a tiny body which was red and shriveled like
an old man’s. Everybody thought he was going to die-everybody
except Aunt Nicey, who had delivered him. She said he would live
because he was born in a caul,2 and cauls were made from Jesus’
nightgown. Daddy had Mr. Heath, the carpenter, build a little
mahogany coffin for him. But he didn’t die, and when he was three
months old, Mama and Daddy decided they might as well name him.

thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!

E. thing(name[1]);

8. (C5) Assume that the following partial declarations have been made, with default constructors for the classes.
public interface Controller
public class Widget implements Controller
public class Thingy extends Widget

public class Estate extends House
{
private Garden myGarden;
. . .

public class Daffodil extends Flower

C. public class House
public class Garden
{
private Flowers[] myFlowers;
. . .
}

public class Estate extends House

private Garden myGarden;
. . .
}
public class Crocus
public class Daffodil
public class Flower
{
private Crocus myCrocus;
private Daffodil myDaffodil;

public class Estate
{
private House myHouse;
