| | I'm a dirt grower myself, maybe someone else can help with alternate methods?
castew. I don't think it's too late at all...good luck...
Chiceh, Lilacs are more bush-like 4 to 6 feet, but tolerate clay soil well...nice flowers...or
Laburnum ...10 to 18 feet with cool golden flowers I think they do ok in clay...
check your local nursery...old timers will know best if you can find one in a mom and pop shop.
some of my plants today

| | Tulips | | Thanks,
They are tulips. A new variety. The last 2 pics are the same flowers, different times of day. They are so cool. They close right up at night and open so wide in the day. I order all my bulbs, tubers and some perenials from Breck's directly from Holland. The Dutch know thier shit. I have some later blooming ones that are supposed to be unique as well. Can't wait to see them. I tend to go for different types of stuff, unique looking not your everyday things and dwarf varieties. My gardens are playful creative works of art, combining all types of flowers, plants, grasses, trees, shrubs and bushes. It is all coming to life right now and I am loving it. Will post new pics when other in bloom.

| | i'm jealous of you all. this is what i really want to do. friggin' marijuana keeps me all tied up though. i only peeked at a few of these pictures. the ones i saw are all beautiful.
how do i get started? i have no flower experience. something easy and beautiful to get me going? no daises or sunflowers. maybe exotics that are somewhat grower friendly?
i'm clueless but eager.

| | Hi fdd....I know what you mean by tied up...its way difficult to prioritize my time thru the day....
Nicotiana (aka flowering tobacco) is a cool plant to grow from seed. The seeds are tiny and getting them to germ is the only tricky thing about this plant. Just use a moistened toothpick to place seed in the germinating medium. do not cover all the way over with soil, simply press the seeds gently into the moistened medium, in about five to 10 days they will pop. Floros work great for first couple of weeks indoors.
They do well in part shade or full sun, and they are very aromatic.
Park seed has a great selection of seeds...
Have fun.... Park Seed: Flowering Tobacco Avalon Bright Pink - An award-winning compact, early Flowering Tobacco with pink blooms.

| | Startin out | | Hey fdd,
A good way to start maybe in containers. Go to your local garden centre and pick a few nice looking annuals. Dead head them through out the season if required and see if you can manage. Next year try a small garden and do the same with annuals. Just fill it up and watch them grow. If you are adventurous, then try a couple of perennials. Depends on where you put your garden though. Sun - day lillies, lillies, roses ( a bit hard for beginner though). Shade - hostas and ground covers.
I mix my gardens each year with the existing perennials with some new funky or colourful annuals, what ever mood I am in while buying the flowers.
I am new to growing marijuana but sure love gardening.

| | Nice shots chitrette....what is the one on far right....cool stuff....
Chiceh......I made the assumption that fdd wanted to start from seed.
It sure is a lot easier to BUY seedlings to put in, BUT, IMO nowhere near as much FUN.....
Actually buying little plants is maybe the best way to get going and see what you like.
As Nike says....just do it....

| | It is a little too cold to put my plants out yet today....Maybe I can put some plants in beds after this cold snap...Getting tired of moving containers in and out....
This is one of my favorite strains of sunflower, from last year...
