I want to grow some perennial evergreens that can withstand the extremes of Delhi’s summer and winters. Plants need to be either succulents (not cacti’s), herbaceous, ground covers or small shrubs. No trees, large shrubs, aquatic plants or marginals.

I recently learned how to turn on a computer and I need advise of where the best gardening tips are for my yard gardening.

I am trying to grow tomatoes, squash, peppers, melons, onions, etc.

You could also try google, and either search starting a vegetable garden or how to grow…(an individual plant like tomatoes or peppers, etc.)

I received a Christmas cactus about 2 1/2 weeks ago with some buds just starting and some buds almost all the way open. Since then, most of the flowers have bloomed beautifully, but about a week after the flower blooms, the flower itself starts to wilt and shrivel. Is this normal? The rest of the plant looks healthy, it’s just the flowers that are starting to shrivel up after blooming. If this is normal, should I pinch off the wilting flowers or just leave it alone?

Yes, it’s normal. A Christmas Cactus’ blooms will last anywhere from a week to two weeks. You can pick them off when they start to fade, as soon as they’ve lost their perkiness. A wilted flower will only drain resources from the plant, so picking off the faded blooms will keep the plant happy.
