here at my house the temp. is 38-40 degrees I wonder if I should plant them now or try and wait till the temp goes up. There is strawberry plants, buterfly bush and a wild flowering rose. If I do not plant them now what should I do with them so they will be ok until I plant them?

I got some plants early one year and I knew we still had a frost coming, so I found an area by a window to keep them potted, but a bit cool, so I could harden them for when I put them outside. If they are root bound in small pots, transplant them into a larger pot lined with a biodegradable liner, like a large peat pot…so you can then just stick them liner and all in the ground…..that way you’re only disturbing the roots once…..
don’t plant too early outside or they will just freeze!

I’ve just got into gardening, I was wanting a graph or information on when to plant things. I really like vegatable gardens. I was thinking about starting a winter garden, I just don’t know where to start. I’ll be really greatful for any help.

This question has gone six days without an answer. Here is my favorite gardening website:

http://www.gardenguides.com/

There are hundreds of thousands of websites devoted to gardening. A Yahoo search for "southern gardening" (include the quotation marks) and other similarly worded searches will turn up more site than you care to explore.

Good luck with your search.

I’m getting married next September, I’m having a black and white wedding. Wanted to have burgundy flowers for my bouquet and centers pieces. Was thinking about using Mums and Carnations together. We are pretty much paying for this weeding our self’s and have 17 tables. If any has suggestions that would be a big help.

IMO, any color that isn’t a pastel but is bold and intense can work very well with black-and-white.

Burgundy works. So would red, or bright yellow, or deep pink, or turquoise, or orange, or just about any other color.

What makes sense to me, since money is an issue, is to get with your florist and find out what’s available, is a color you like, and is inexpensive in September. S/He will be able to tell you all the options and what’s a bargain.

Congratulations, and many years of happiness to you both.
