will the tomatoes that I took off the plant, and put it on boards to ripen out on the lawn, will they ripen? Or what else could I do with green tomatoes?
I pulled my beef stake tomatoe plant out. The tomatoes needed to ripen. I put them on a board in the sun. Will
Try making pickled green tomatoes for a novel side dish http://www.bigoven.com/104372_Kosher-Gar...
has a recipe for ones that keep in the fridge. You could instead follow a recipe for putting them in canning jars and keep them on a pantry shelf all winter.
Reply:I am answering the question before I look at other answers..
My mom always takes green tomatoes she picks at frost time and puts them in brown paper bags. They ripen beautifully. I put them in the house on a window sill so they would get sun, but......hmn....plants like to propogate...have the next generation survive if they don't make it....I think the brown paper bag technique just scares them! Hope that helps! Good luck with your green tomatoes. And now I will go look at other answers!
Reply:yes they should just watch them the sun might be to strong and you can fry green ones drip into flower and meal pretty good too
Reply:yes they will ripen , but you must be patient if you bring the green ones indoor you can wrap them in news paper and they will ripen as well, otherwise you can slice them and preserve in oil.
Reply:the best way to ripen green tomatoes is to put them in a paper bag with a banana skin and keep them indoors. The sun will burn the skin of the tomatoes. The ethylene released from the banana will ripen the tomatoes. that's how i ripen my autumn tomatoes.
it will take anywhere from two weeks to a two months depending upon how warm the weather is. just keep checking and whichever ripens, just take it out. they won't all ripen all together. also keep an eye on any that has started to rot.
Reply:yes they will ripen.
you can make mincemeat with green tomotoes.
Reply:here is the same answer I gave someone else with the same question....
place stem side down on the window sill....it will ripen
You can also take completely green tomatoes(not a trace of red on them) and slice thin and dredge in flour, egg, and Italian breadcrumbs(in that order)... then fry in a cast iron pan till golden... place on paper towels to blot them off and sprinkle with salt.... Delicious! ...You can Freeze these in zip-loc bags for eating in the winter. (Reheat in a single layer in the oven on cookie sheet).... Nothing better than Fried green tomatoes to remember your garden in the dead of January and February!... I have a LOT of people hooked on these!Hope you try this, it's worth it!
Good Luck and enjoy...
Reply:I pretty much do what Sugar does.
Put them in a paper sack and close it. The chemicals in the tomatoes will ripen the fruit. If you don't have a paper sack, use a glass bowl or pan. Be sure to put a lid on top of the contain.
You can do this with avocado too.

Can the non-invasive bamboo plant, Fargesia robusta, survive exposure to full sun as well as frost?
Yes it can. You said frost and that is as cold as it will stand. Prolong freeze will kill it. Makes a nice fence and has many uses.
How much sun and water does a potted ivy plant require? How do I care for it?
If you are growing ivy in your home I would give it medium light. Out side in Virginia it does better with some shade especially in a pot , Ivy does not like to totally dry out but it doesn't like to be soggy. Do a wet / dry cycle. Watch out for spider mites if you have it indoors.
How much sun and water does a potted ivy plant require? How do I care for it?
Keep moist but not wet. Mist.

Are there any health hazards associated with the way the sun and a nuclear power plant produce energy?
As far as the sun, the biggest risk is if you are routinely in the sun unprotected for long periods of time, expecially if you get bad burns, you greatly increase your risk of skin cancer. This is due to high-energy UV rays that penetrate the atmosphere and can alter the genetic material in your skin cells, which occasionally can cause a cell to begin reproducing uncontrollably, causing a tumor. The higher energy radiation from the sun, such as gamma rays, are defelected by the earth's magnetic field, which protects us from extremely dangerous radiation. The UV that does get through however does pose a serious threat to your health if you spend a lot of time in the sun or get badly burned.
Nuclear plants pose a different concern. Nuclear material in nuclear plants consists of alpha particles, beta particles and gamma rays. However, this radiation commonly associated with a nuclear plant is contained via multiple failsafe systems to prevent a nuclear leak. This radiation is not released to the atmosphere or envrionment in general, so basically you have more to fear from the possible negative health effects of the sun than you do from a nuclear plant.
Are there any health hazards associated with the way the sun and a nuclear power plant produce energy?
Radiation (solar and nuclear) are dangerous.
UV radiation from the sun, for example, causes skin cancers.
Nuclear radiation can be long-lived.
On the upside, neither one of these power sources produce greenhouse gases or other atmospheric pollutants.

When fruits and vegetables are attached to a plant, they can sit out in the hot sun and not rot. But?
separated from the plant, they deteriorate quickly. Why is this?
When fruits and vegetables are attached to a plant, they can sit out in the hot sun and not rot. But?
they are no longer being `fed` and watered ,
they are dying.
Reply:i beleive its because the fruit no longer receives minerals from the plant and when the cells die they can no longer be replaced. its summin like that im only 15 so its probably inacurate
Reply:Because they die
Reply:If fruit and vegetables are stored properly thay can be kept for weeks or months. My dad is still eating sun dried chilies that I grew last century.
Fruit on the ground is subject to attack by all kinds of ground living critters which won't climb the plant. They will break the skin and bore holes inside, introducing bacteria and fungus in the progess.
If you try growing fruit yourself you will discover that it rots on the plant easily enough. Wasp grubs and caterpillars from moths, do for the majority of my apples and chilies every year.
Tough fruit like coconut, travels the oceans without rotting, so you can't really generalise.

My bottle brush plant is dying and I don't know why? Does it need to be in sun or shade?
Right now I have it in a container. How much should I water it and should I plant it in the ground?
My bottle brush plant is dying and I don't know why? Does it need to be in sun or shade?
Bottle brush plants like full sun and moist soil. They hate extremely hot, dry conditions, and cold.
How long has your plant been in this pot? It may have outgrown it and become root bound.
Have you been fertilizing it? It may have depleted the available nutrients in the soil without proper fertilization.
Have you pruned it at all? They can become quite scraggly looking without proper pruning.
How often do you water? It needs moist soil. It will tolerate wet soil, but will not tolerate drought conditions.
Reply:How big is the container? Bottle brush will get to be rather large, so it may have outgrown its container. Container plants tend to be stressed more than plants in the ground because the soil dries out more quickly and the roots experience hotter and colder temperatures than plants in the ground. You should find a sunny location where it can mature (give it the same consideration as a tree) and plant it in the ground. Give it infrequent, deep waterings. You might also check with a nursery for specifics in your area, and take in a few of the leaves for diagnosis.

dry location. this is a border only 12" deep, between the brick building and a sidewalk. What would you plant? I'm in zone 8b. Low maintenance preferred, perennial. If it bloomed in Spring and Fall it would be best, since it is at a school and in Summer a flower display would be missed.

I have a plant that does not like the sun, help!?
i have a goji plant that is next to a window indoors where the sun does not usually shine. i give this plant artificial light all day and it does fine. but when i woke up this morning and found the sun shining on the top part of the plant, the top part wilted and the shaded part of the plant was fine. the soil was not dry either. However, tonight the plant stopped wilting. i want to bring it outdoors in the summer but i am scared that the sun will kill it by making it wilt. What should I do?

How do u keep plant living besides giving it water and sun?
Many plants can survive simply with adequate water and exposure to sun. However, if you want to improve the health and vigor of your plants, you need to focus on developing a healthy root system.
One of the keys to a healthy root system is to make sure you have the proper soil pH. The pH of the soil determines the amount of nutrients that can be absorbed by the roots. In most cases, plants prefer soils between a pH of 6.0 (slightly acid) to 7.0 (which is neutral). You can purchase a simple cheap pH meter at most hardware stores and it will give you an approximate reading. IF your soil is below 7.0, it's considered acidic and you may need to add lime to your soil then mix it in followed by an irrigation. IF your pH is above 7.0, you'll need to apply some soil sulfur, mix it in and water.
Once you find out the required pH in which your plants should be grown in, you can adjust your soil accordingly.
The next step is to add organic matter and beneficial microbes in the way of compost or manure. The beneficial microorganisms will help your soil by allowing water and oxygen to be more available to the roots by opening up pore spaces between the soil particles. They also help absorb available nutrients from fertilizers and in the soil....so the roots can utilize them better.
I recommend adding 2 or 3 inches of compost around your plants along with an additional 1 or 2 inches of bagged steer manure. You should try to mix it into your soil with a hoe or shovel (without disturbing/destroying the roots as much as possible) and apply enough water so that the microorganisms can become established in your soil.
The manure supplies a little nitrogen so you'll usually need to apply a foiliar fertilizer, such as Miracle-Gro or use granular fertilizers applied to and around the base of your plants. Since tomatoes don't require much nitrogen, you can use a granular 5-10-10 fertilizer or any fertilizer recommended for tomatoes.
IF you can remember to apply the necessary lime/sulfur, compost and manure prior to planting your vegetables, ornamental plants and fruit trees, you should see a noticable difference in the health and growth of your plants.
Hope you found this information somewhat useful as a guideline for current and future plantings. GOOD LUCK!

Cheapest and best type of grass to plant in southeast usa, full sun, no shade?
NEVER use the word "Cheap" and grass seed in the same sentence.Best to start your new lawn in the spring after threat of frost.Buy the best grass seed available and be sure it says for sunny areas on the box.Be sure to get a seed starter also.Till up the soil.If you have good soil to start with,no need to get top soil.If not, get the top soil,and spread it on the areas you want to grow grass.Be sure to really spread the seed THICKLY over the top soil.The more grass seed you apply,the thicker your lawn will be.You can spread by hand, or use a sprayer to get a more even layer.Rake it into the soil after spreading.Watering twice a day for the first 2 weeks is essential.Never let the seed dry out or they will not take.It sounds like alot of work,but it really is not. The lawn you will get is well worth the effort.If you are not into watering your new lawn after it is established,go to www.youwaterless.com and buy their product.You will only have to water your lawn every three months.Good Luck1

In front of that row I have a row of columbines. In front of the columbines, I have oriental lillies. In front of those I have either pansy's or petunias, depending on the time of year. Since it is starting to warm up, I will be replacing the pansy's with petunias soon. The garden on the other side of the front step matches the garden I just mentioned. I don't really have a color scheme but I do like to have alot of white. White is always a good color.
Reply:I have diascia, salvia, euphorbia, petunia, dusty miller, lamium, coleous, calibrachoa, ipomoea, and alyssum.
Reply:I like the classics... impatiens, petunias, and marigolds. I don't worry too much about colour, but go for the red and white and pink along with the orange marigolds. They look great all summer long.
Reply:If you want low maintenance go with perennials. Plant several different kinds so that you have blooms throughout the season.
Reply:Plant Cosmos. They get 1-2' tall so they are a good scale next to a house. They bloom readily and may even re-seed them selves to return next spring.
My jade plant fried in the sun. I live in the desert with 115F. What can i do to save it?
Are the Roots still alive? If theyare alive, the Jade will survive, but you have to move it indoors, or atleast into the shade and you probably have to water it more often.
If the roots are dead, cut off any branches that are still green, or still have green leaves. Stick the ends of the branches into potting soil and place indoors. Water when the soil becomes completely dry.
Jades root very easily from cuttings. In fact, you can easily grow a new one from just one leaf.

keep it inside out of direct sunlight
Reply:Provided you plant is still alive, I would put it under some kind of shade. It doesn't need water all the time, only when the soil gets dry.
If your plant is dead, but you still have a little bit of green, take cuttings and put them in water or soil so they root, then put the new plants in the shade.
Even though they are warm climate plants, they can get burnt by the sun.
Reply:assuming it is not already dead, move to the shade and water. Keep it in the shade and check soil moisture daily. If dry, then water. Good luck!
Reply:Buy a cactus.
Or spray your plant with some Lysol, that works too.

South Florida pepper plant problem. Are they getting too much sun?
I have 4 pepper plants growing. They have been in the ground for about two weeks. Up until today 3 out of 4 were ok. I am watering at night after the sun goes down and in the morning early. The two that are failing have what looks like burned leaves. The one is almost gone. Am I overwatering? Is it too much sun? They get full sun early and into the afternoon. The jalapeno is thriving but the bell's are the effected ones. Any ideas?
South Florida pepper plant problem. Are they getting too much sun?
peppers cant get too much sun. could be fertilizer burn. yes, too much water. try every other day in the morning.

Can a plant surive with out sun?
Green plants have to have sun to survive. They use the sunlight for a process called photosynthesis in which they create their own food.
Reply:Did he mean direct sunlight? You can keep certain plants in your bathroom year round--such as Orchids. Mine have been thriving!
Reply:NOT SUN BUT LIGHT IS REQUIRED FOR PHOTOSENSUS DID I SPELL THET WRONG?
Reply:In a way you are both right. Some house plants do not like or need sunlight. They do need indirect light. The same is true of some annuals which you plant outside. Many plants won't tolerate sun light but do very well in the shade or with very little direct sun. If you plant a shade plant in the sun, it will require lots of water and in many cases will never bloom.
Reply:They can survive without sun but not without light. Plants that have blooms need 6 hrs. of sun a day. Most plants that are just leaves don't need direct sun. I don't know of any plant that can live with dirt alone.
Reply:yes a plant can survive without sun . I know people who have grown plants 3 stories below ground in sub-basements where not a drop of sun is anywhere in sight (ya pot plants).
In return they do need a light- and a common florescent light bulb is the best substitute for real sun light. the process of photosynthesis can be fully accomplished off a light bulb, any type light bulb works but one (like florescent) that provides a complete spectrum of light break down are better than others who provide one or another.
also many plants can survive in complete darkness - but only for so long.
the 3 things plants need to survive naturally are light,darkness and moisture. The only reason they need light and darkness is to complete their photosynthesis to create food..but if you are able to directly add food to the soil- a plant can survive and thrive without completing photosynthesis. So technically your boyfreind is right - but it would take alot of human actions to make the plant live - so really i guess it can be considered that it cant live naturally without sunlight.
Reply:It depends upon whether you consider mushrooms and other fungi plants. Mushroom and other fungi do not need any light whatsoever. And, he does have a point....may plants that thrive at the bottom of the ocean receive no light whatsoever (but then, they have adapted to those conditions). And, there is artificial light -- may pot growers use special grow lights and grow their plants without actual sunshine.
Otherwise, a plant above water -- while maybe not needing sun, per se, still requires light. It can grow for a while (like that celery stalk you stuck in water in the fridge), but eventually it will die without some kind of light so that it can produce chlorophyl.

What are similarities in the way the sun and a nuclear power plant produce energy?
Both the sun and a nuclear power plant use nuclear processes--but they do use different ones.
A nuclear powerplant uses "fission"--splitting large atoms of uranium or plutonium. Put simply, the material is configured so the natural radioactivity of the material is enhanced--producing more and more neutrons in a "chain reaction." Each time an atom is split, it releases more neutros to keep the reaction goinng-and some of the material is released as pure energy.
The sun goes in the opposite direction. Small atoms--hydrogen mostly--are "fused"--forced together instead of being split. For hydrogen and other light atoms, this releases energy (unlike the heavy atoms, where the oposite is true). The Sun does this essentially by brute force--the core of the Sun is compressed and heated by the massive gravity of the Sun to unimaginable heat and pressure, which forces the hydrogen atoms to fuse, producing helium--and releasing energy in the process.
Fusion is actually far more efficient. A nuclear fission powerplant only releases a tiny amount of the enrgy in the atoms; the Sun's fusiion releases a lot more--about 4% of the mass of the atoms.
Because fusion is much more efficient (and the various matierials that can be sued as fuel are more commonthan uranium, etc) scientists are working on how to harness nuclear fusion. but its a difficult project--and may take decades. If they can, however, there are other advantages as well, besides the efficiency. A nuclear fusion reaction cannot "melt down" in theevent of a malfunction--the reaction isn't self-sustaining, so it would just stop. Even better--a nuclear fusion process would produce little or no radioactive waste, eliminating that problem as well.
What are similarities in the way the sun and a nuclear power plant produce energy?
The sun makes energy by a process called fusion. Protons and neutrons are smashed together to form new atoms. Energy is released because the protons and neutrons are brought to lower energy states when they fuse but they still store large amounts of energy.
Nuclear reactors use the opposite process called fission. They spit large atoms apart releasing the energy that holds them together.
Reply:The sun employs nookular fusion while earthbound power plants use nookular fission.
Reply:None
One is a fission reaction, the other is a fusion reaction.
Reply:They both use nuclear reactions.
The difference is the Sun combines two light atoms into one heavier atom, while all operating reactors on Earth split one heavy atom into two lighter atoms.

How much water and sun should I give my baby tomato plant a day?
I just got it almost a week ago, and apparently I'm not doing something right... Its already starting to wither and almost dying. I water it alittle every other day to keep the soil moist and give it aittle over an hour of direct sunlight everyday. What am I doing wrong? I am very inexperienced at this but really love plants - this is my first one.
How much water and sun should I give my baby tomato plant a day?
I specialize in tomatoes. they will use 24 hours of artificial light a day.DO NOT WATER EVERYDAY.unless your soil really dries out. always start at the soil. how porous is the soil?Is it a heavy soil? Are you using city tap water or a fertilizer.First go buy a soilless mix(it sounds as though you have a fungus called dampening off)this mix is sterile and won't cause dampening off. then go get yourself a fert with a NPK of 0-4-0 or something similar .This is a root stimulating fert call phosphorous. get a fan and put it on your plants for at least 15 mins a day.also get some floresent lighting and put the light three inches from your plants 24 /7and only water when the soil is dry this makes your plants search for water. if there is lots of moisture your plant won't search and the roots won't grow.Lots of moisture can also be a breeding ground for fungus .

the bottom are turning yellow, and eventually, falling off. I have it in a very large planting pot, but the leaves at the bottom seem to be cluttered. I hope this is what the problem is......I love my plant!

Also, make sure the plant is getting light, top to bottom. If the bottom leaves aren't getting much light, the plant will shed them as they are doing no good for the plant. Plant leaves require energy for the plant to maintain and if a leaf doesn't generate enough food it will be shed to allow other leaves an opportunity to do more with that same about of energy.
Reply:well..it is the natural phenomena in some plants that the top part matures and gives rise to young shoots and leaves...while the bottom part becomes old and the leaves lose their pigment(chlorophyll) and fall off due to degeneration...there is nothing to worry about as long u take good care of the plant by keeping the soil well aerated, water the plant and use limited fertilizers...u'll see the improvement !!!

Scan tomato plant in containers take the hot afternoon sun ?
I live in zone 8 and my tomatoe plants are in 5 gallon pails, sitting on the patio. Can it be too much sun, for these guys ? they get like 7 or 8 hours of direct sun light and they alwayS look thirsty. Should I move them, so they get more of the morning sun and less of the afternoon sun ? Any opinions out there. thanks in advance.
Scan tomato plant in containers take the hot afternoon sun ?
Tomatoes like hot sun but the soil may be getting too hot for the roots or they may need more water given the stress of living in containers. I would try moving them and see what happens.
Reply:Tomatoes love the sun as long as they get plenty of water. I have grown them for years, and mine got very hot afternoon sun, and I always checked the dirt to make sure it was moist. If the soil dries out, and looks cracked, add plenty of water, and feed them.
Reply:The sun is fine, cooked roots are not as this will stress the plant and shorten its `working life`. If you can shade the root area/container, so much the better.
Reply:Due to bad soil conditions, I grow my tomatoes in containers set out in a garden area. I have pots that have good drainage holes in the bottom and soak the dirt well about twice a week. They seem to be growing well and are producing fruit even with the 90 degree temps we are now having in zone 7b.
Reply:I think they scan.

What is the best flower to plant in shade? The area where I'm planting gets no sun.?
there are many plants that will grow there but are you looking for annuals or perennials.
Perennials that will grow there are....hosta, fern, lungwort, lenten rose(helleborus), lily of the valley, rodgersia, ligularia, caladium, bunchberry(groundcover dogwood), vinca minor. There are many more just check out the library. Happy Gardening

Is there a certin color the leaves turn?...mine are like getting shrivled and are falling off ....HELP!!
How can i tell if my plant gets too much sun?
burnt leaves are a sign of too much sun, but sunflowers are VERY sun tollerant. maybe you need more water. give some more water and give it some plant food. sometimes the leaves do tun yellow. just make sure it grows new ones

I need some help picking flowers to plant that don't need a lot of sun???
I have a small patio that I want to plant some flower boxes or maybe even some large planters to set on my patio however we only get sun early in the day, by 10 am our patio is in the shade, Any help choosing what flowers would do best is greatly appreciated.
I need some help picking flowers to plant that don't need a lot of sun???
You've gotten a lot of suggestions for perennial plants and that's fine. You can do them in containers but they're a hassle to winter over and they don't generally provide the kind of summer long display one often wants in a small space like a patio. If I were you I would focus on annuals because it doesn't sound like you'll need that many and they will provide the most bang for your buck. One great shade combination that I have found and used repeatedly is a grouping of annual salvia, impatiens and "sweet potato" vine (ipomoea). All of these plants are widely available, inexpensive and come in a variety of colors. The first two bloom vigorously and reliably all summer even in deep shade, while the last spills and trails gorgeously. None of them are at all demanding and they look great together because of the shape contrasts. Even with just those three plants all your containers can look a bit different if that's what you want.
Torenia has proven to be almost as reliable as impatiens and salvia and has rapidly become a favorite of mine. I have also had good success with both scaevola and bacopa in very shady spots. Another shade star is coleus which comes in many wild colors and shapes and is very easy care. Plants in the pansy family also will take a lot of shade and in fact will bloom longer into the summer if shaded. Many people recommend lobelia, which is absolutely beautiful but I've had such poor luck with it that I can't personally suggest it. F u c h s i a (sorry, they won't let me just say fuchsia so I have to get all spacy) is another showstopper that does very well with limited sun. There are several types and colors and they make for a lovely hanging basket.
If you cook much you may also want to try a pot of herbs in your sunniest spot, you'd be surprised how well they can do with just a little sun.
I hope these suggestions are helpful to you and that you succeed in making yourself a lovely restful little garden spot. There's nothing to beat it for relaxing in the summer.

For an aloe plant, in sun light only no water, or with no sunlight but water?
aloes are what is considered a. succulent and can tolerate periods of dryness. But it is better for them to have water on a frequent basis. they also need bright filtered light but can do nicely in florescent lighting where the light is on for 8-10 hours or more a day
Reply:It needs some sunlight, not direct, like early morning, the top of the soil should be moist to the touch, the container well drained.

How would black light effect a plant in comparison to sun light?
Trying to see if science experiment results are correct, had some unexpected variables, such as starting a week before its due!!!!!!
How would black light effect a plant in comparison to sun light?
Depends on whether the black light you get is one of those cheap dime-store black lights (a regular light bulb with dark purple gel on it), which will give mostly the higher energy end of a regular light bulb, or a real UV light generator. If it is a dimestore type, it will simply not grow as well, basically behaving as though it were in the dark. If you get an actual UV light, it will damage the plant and it will die. UV light has a lot more energy than regular light, so not only can the plant not absorb it and use it, it will damage the DNA of the plant and cause it not to grow as well.
Yes, regular sunlight has UV in it, but a UV light bulb has it in much higher concentration. I work with UV light for isolation of DNA, and if you expose bare skin to the light of a UV bulb, it will burn brick red within ten minutes exposure.
Reply:I don't think that the plant's pigments can usefully capture UV light.
So since black light bulbs are pretty dark in the visible spectrum, they may not do so hot.
Reply:Black light? That would be "dark" then.

It is a bushy leaf plant. The leaves have a deep red center vein, then are maroon (purple) with lacy green edges. All I know is it is an annual and the label says "tuscany". I'd like to put it on my deck where it will get sun from about 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

How much sun does an aloe vera plant need?
I want to get one, cut there cool, and handy, but i dont know where to put it, or wat it needs. only answer if you know a helpful thing to say plz.
How much sun does an aloe vera plant need?
I have several. You can give them filtered light or direct light- they are very versatile. They will get as big as the pot you put them in so if you want one that is big and showy get 3 small plants and space them evenly around a large pot. Give them a couple years and they will be large and grand.
My ex- mother-in-law planted hers outside under a tree and it got huge. She kept it covered with a sheet in teh winter when it was a hard frost.
Just make sure you do not over water. If you do the stems turn to mush and smell.

I have two medium size pots that I would like to put an arrangement in and 2 small pots. The sun usually get there at around 3pm in the afternoon.
Flowers my patio gets late sun what are the best flowers to plant for that and the ones with low maintance?
You don't mention what state or hardiness zone you live in, which would help to know what plants to recommend for your area.
You also don't say how big your medium and small pots are. The smaller the pot, the more often it has to be watered. I have large pots on my patio approximately 2 feet high and I have to water the plants in them every day. So to me, low maintenance and pots don't go well together because of the watering alone. Then there is the fertilizer needs of potted plants which make them even more of a hassle. Because pots are filled with potting soil that dries out quickly, you need to make sure to get potting soil that has fertilizer mixed it it already. I've tried every brand name of potting soil on the market. In my opinion, the very best is also the least expensive. Walmart Professional Growers Expert brand (yellow bag).
That said, if you will be able to water them every day or every other day at the minimum, any sun loving plants should do well.
I live in Ohio, hardiness zone 5. What is available at MY garden centers may not be available to you at yours depending on which state you live in.
I design custom large containers for my landscaping clients. One of my favorite layout designs is 4 equally spaced draping types of plants on the outside edge of the container, almost to the side of the pot, like my favorite, scaviola (come with a blueish- purple bloom or white) with Rubrum grass, which is a burgandy leaf grass, in the very center. In between the scaviola plants, I plant lantana. D a google search for both these plants so you can see how they look.
Another thing to keep in mind for designing potted containers, is the mature height of the plants you put in it.
The rule of thumb for a good design, is to use a center plant that will get as tall as your pot is tall. So, for my two foot tall plants, I would want my center plant to get at least 2 feet tall as well. Nothing looks worse than a tall pot with plants that only get 4 inches tall and hanging over the sides!

Reply:One of my favorite combinations of annuals for part sun areas is impatiens, annual salvia and sweet potato vine. None of these plants require much sun to thrive and you will be rewarded with nonstop bloom and gorgeous color all summer long. They are all tough, reliable and readily available, cheaply. Each plant comes in a variety of colors so you can even plant the same basic plants in each container yet have them look entirely different from one another. I particularly like this combination because of the shape contrasts it offers. The impatiens are round and full, the salvia are tall and spiky and the sweet potato spills wonderfully.

Not sure I have enough sun/insects for my pitcher plant indoors ?
I live in the desert and wonder if I should take my plant outside for sunlight and bugs and bring it back in to keep it from burning when it gets too hot . also what bugs do they attract?
Not sure I have enough sun/insects for my pitcher plant indoors ?
It is clearly a Sarracenia, a bog plant. You are right to worry about them drying out outside. You can give them bright light instead of full sun so they don't burn. Full spectrum grow lights can be a helpful suppliment.
As bugs go, they need a minimum of 1 a year. They attract gnats, flies %26amp; wasps. Actually any thirsty bug can get trapped in it. I've been growing them for over 30 years, and don't seem to have a problem with the plant not catching enough food, unless I keep the plant in a closed terrarium. Do not fertilize, their natural habitat is low in nutrients so fertilization can kill them.
They seem to tolerate more moisture than other plants, although right now my husband is trying them outside on the patio for the 2nd summer. They are in 4" pots placed in an open plastic storage box with an inch of water (2" to 1/4" because it's almost a desert out here and the water evaporates quickly, so we try to keep it from dropping below 1/4") with the pot about as tall as the sides of the container. They seem pretty happy, but temperatures haven't gotten over 103 yet, mostly in the 90s (unusually nice). We'll see how it goes.
Most plants grow leaves for their environment which can easily die when the environment or lighting changes. But too much of a change can cause too many leaves to die and kill the plant. Best of luck, these are fairly tough as carnivors go.
Reply:what plants are they....need a little more info babycakes
Reply:I would worry about it getting too much sun. If the plant has a red tinge on the leaves it means it is getting as much sun as it can handle.

Not sure I have enough sun/insects for my pitcher plant indoors ?
It is clearly a Sarracenia, a bog plant. You are right to worry about them drying out outside. You can give them bright light instead of full sun so they don't burn. Full spectrum grow lights can be a helpful suppliment.
As bugs go, they need a minimum of 1 a year. They attract gnats, flies %26amp; wasps. Actually any thirsty bug can get trapped in it. I've been growing them for over 30 years, and don't seem to have a problem with the plant not catching enough food, unless I keep the plant in a closed terrarium. Do not fertilize, their natural habitat is low in nutrients so fertilization can kill them.
They seem to tolerate more moisture than other plants, although right now my husband is trying them outside on the patio for the 2nd summer. They are in 4" pots placed in an open plastic storage box with an inch of water (2" to 1/4" because it's almost a desert out here and the water evaporates quickly, so we try to keep it from dropping below 1/4") with the pot about as tall as the sides of the container. They seem pretty happy, but temperatures haven't gotten over 103 yet, mostly in the 90s (unusually nice). We'll see how it goes.
Most plants grow leaves for their environment which can easily die when the environment or lighting changes. But too much of a change can cause too many leaves to die and kill the plant. Best of luck, these are fairly tough as carnivors go.
Reply:what plants are they....need a little more info babycakes
Reply:I would worry about it getting too much sun. If the plant has a red tinge on the leaves it means it is getting as much sun as it can handle.

My tomato plants will only receive morning and afternoon sun, will that be enough for a hearty plant?
I am surrounded by pines and the north eastern portion of the yard is already dedicated to a flowering bed area with some play area so that only leaves the other half that won't receive the sun after 5-6 pm.
My tomato plants will only receive morning and afternoon sun, will that be enough for a hearty plant?
The best sun is always the morning sun for plants late morning and early to mid afternoon is good as well. By the way most plants require several hours of sun per day to thrive not just a little.
Reply:Sounds like enough to me, I've grown tomatoes for three consecutive years, in a respectively shadey spot. Your only issue may be the flavour of your toms, the sunlight will give them there delicious sweetness, you have a slightly more tarte tom from the lack of sun. But in terms of the plant itself, it should be fine, probably quite a decent crop, but like I say, your only issue may be the final taste of the fruit.
Reply:yes that will do your plants should only have a little bit of sun
so if they have it in the morning and afternoon it will be just fine
Reply:Tomato plants need a full 8 hours of sun each day to do well.
Reply:If they get 6-7 hours of solid sun a day, they should do fine.
Reply:They will produce later with smaller tomatoes which is fine.

Haven't you ever heard that it is bad to put things where the sun don't shine? Or at least that is what they are discussing in the question I just answered a couple of seconds ago...

I have a partially shady area, gets hot afternoon sun. Can I plant raspberries there? Or related plants?
Yes! We have had our on the side of the house for about 20 years and they get about 5-6 hours of sun(not always direct). We tie ours up on a wire line as they grow and cut them down to 6 inches in the fall. Happy Gardening!
I have a partially shady area, gets hot afternoon sun. Can I plant raspberries there? Or related plants?
raspberries can grow pretty much in any climate (really) just make sure to stake them after planting so they dont grow wild. Believe me they do
Reply:Yes.
Raspberries are like my roses. They like "full sun" which means at least 6 hours of sun a day. My roses are partially shaded by my paper white birch, but they also get enough sun.

Star of bethleham indoor or outdoor plant. sun or Shade?
I just bought a plant called th star of bethlehem dont know how to care for it it came with no instructions help
Star of bethleham indoor or outdoor plant. sun or Shade?
Outdoors and they are a small bulb. They do better in a sunny area and are pretty indestructible. They have small white flowers mid season.

I want to plant some color in front of my house around a tree that allows both sun and shade?
The island, is what I call it has both sun/shade. It once had hedge bushes and they got some infection and so we removed them. Now I want to brighten it up with something more colorfull plants?

Hostas come in many varieties and work well in sun / shade. I also love Coleus for great variety of color.
Reply:Zinnias -- profusion. They come in white, orange and cherry and grow in a mound shape. Easy to grow, disease and bug resistant.
Reply:Did you spread any insect and disease control agent over the remains of you removed plantings? Do you think that diseases and insects reside in the plantings alone?
For the front of your tree I would suggest a Shredded Cyprus Mulch at a level of two inches to the drip line. On top of this I would apply an application of either gran. Sevin or Liquid Sevivn in mid May and mid Aug. I would augment the treatments with a 10-10-10-minerals granular fert spread and watered into the tree.
Never plant under a tree. Make a bed before a tree and no less than a foot from the drip-line of the tree. You can make the bed higher in the back (16-24") to ground level at the base.
The tree is green and the background. You want a contrast. Put a Red and Pink Geranimum as a planting as the plant closest to the tree. Want to save some money? Put a white Miedlander Rose in front. The rose will bloom until almost Christmas and be as a shrub.
Another outside shrub would be a heather planting. It will bloom in winter and be evergreen.
Reply:Try Impatiens (flowers) - they're very durable, can thrive both in shade and light, come in a variety of colors, and very easy to care for
Reply:You might try experimenting with different annuals for a few years and see if there's a certain color you like better than others, then find a perennial that blooms that color. Marigolds and Wave Petunias are two that will continue blooming all summer, the marigolds in particular will bloom more if you keep them deadheaded. Wave petunias can get 4 feet wide, so plant them with some room between for the spread. Feed every two weeks for best results. Miracle Gro works well, but continued use over many years will leave a lot of salts in the soil, so organic ferts are better for the long run, plus they actually improve the soil, where the synthetic (M Gro) will not.

What kind of flowers should I plant that like sun and water and when should I plant them?
Please give the names of flowers...I like color
What kind of flowers should I plant that like sun and water and when should I plant them?
I just planted some Zinnias, a Wilflower mix, Alyssum, and Sweet Peas - all from seed - and am having really good luck in a bed that gets sun from sunrise until about five in the evening.
The area you live in has a lot to do with when you need to plant them...they usually say a week before the last freeze or just right after you find out the chances for freezing temps are gone.
I found a few sites that may be of some help....I love color too and am hoping between the Zinnias and Wildflowers the bed I planted will be extremely colorful!
Good Luck!!
Asters: These are annuals (annuals are flowers that complete their entire lifespan in one year). They flower late in the season.
Bachelor Buttons. These are labeled as annuals. But mine keep coming back year after year. They also thrive in even poor soil.
Poppy: This is a perennial (meaning they come back year after year). They bloom early in the spring.
Cosmos: These are also labeled as annuals, yet they reseed themselves. Reseeding means that they usually come back on their own. They also thrive in poor soil.
Hollyhocks: These are perennials. But hollyhocks usually will not bloom until the second year.
Lupines. These are perennials. They prefer rich soil.
Marigolds: These are considered one of the easiest flowers to grow. They are annuals. The sparky mix kind will bloom from spring to frost.
Morning Glories: These are annuals that need a support like a trellis.
Black-eyed Susan: This is a perennial. It blooms all summer.
Shasta daisy: This is a perennial. It blooms all summer.
Snapdragon: This is an annual. It has long colorful spikes that are called snaps. It flowers all summer.
Strawflower: This is an annual that gets especially tall, 24" to 36". Plus, the more sun it gets the brighter the colors get.
Sunflowers: These are annuals. The sunflower itself usually last up to 5 weeks. If you buy the autumn beauty variety it can withstand a lot of heat and even drought.
Zinnia: This is an annual.
Geraniums: These are annuals.
Full sun flowers are flowers that can thrive in eight or more hours of direct sunlight a day. You can check the tags that come with each flower to see what type of exposure it can handle.
Fertilizing: Most experts say you should do this every 6 to 8 weeks.
Reply:With proper care, Dahlias can come back year after year.
