I have a flower bed outside that needs plants in it but it doesn’t get morning sun there…just afternoon. so I’m wondering what plants i can get that are easy to take care of and doesn’t require to much sun. Thanks
I live in texas so it has to be a plant thats in texas!
and by galveston so itll get salt air

You should go talk to the folks at Tom’s Thumb on 45th street in Galveston. I can think of quite a few plants that would work well there. Macho Ferns, Foxtail Ferns, Philodendron, Ixora, Crotons, Dwarf Mexican Petunia, I’ve got some tropical hibiscus that only get afternoon sun and are constant bloomers. You could put several different palms there, a Pigmy Date is just one possibility.

I bought a bouquet of flowers at the grocery, and the package did not come with any flower food. The flowers died within a few days. Is there anything at home I can put in the water to make them last longer, if they don’t come with any flower food?

You can crumble up baby asprin and put it in the vase with the water and a bit of sugar. Also every few days cut the stems on an angle.
