wondering if I plant some in my yard if I have to worry about small animals destroying the plants. If I need any plants or flowers are planted next to them for a determent against being destoyed.

buy some fenceing and fenc around the plant, marigolds will attract greenfly before they get to the tomato plant then when the marigolds have greenfly spray the tomato plant for greenfly also give the tomato plant good support to grow up

I live in Montana, and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of fruits and veggies would I be able to grow in my area?

Also, if anyone had any gardening tips that would be great! I am planing on growing strawberries and rasberries (any tips on those), but if anyone knew of some others that could grow here that would be great.

This is our first time growing a garden, any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hey Katerbear B,

Apples, Peaches, Plums should all grow in your area – be sure to get trees suited to your zone. 3a-4b depending on what part of Montana you live in.

For Vegetables, the principle of germination time plus growing to harvest time must be more than your number of non-freeze days.

Or, you can start the vegies inside. You should be able to grow summer squash, carrots, tomato, beets, herbs, and a bunch of other stuff.

Read a lot, you are in a short season area. Happy Gardening.

Hello. I have sandy soil, live in Michigan, zone 5. The area I want flowers in is about 6×10. The area gets full sun all day and most sun after 2pm. House faces west, the flowers are to be in the front of the house. What flowers are really easy to start with, and what combinations should I use. Any really good websites anyone knows of could help too.

Rhododentrums are beautiful and eay to take care of. Black eyed susans are good. You want flowers that will be lightly maintenance free and will come back in the spring. Honeysuckle, hostas, lavender, burning bushes, elephant ears, try some herbs, azaelea bushes, hydrangias.
