April Flowers Question: 1
When to start planting outdoors in Central Virginia?? I live in Central Virginia, and I am very, very eager to get out there and start planting!! I've put some pansies and begonias out and they're doing well. I am potting an herb garden, and some daisies, random flowers, and veggies. What if I potted them, brought them outside during the day and in at night until the end of April? Or is the beginning of May better? Please help before I run and stick everything in the ground tomorrow- haha.

Will our magnolia tree survive the snow? I work at a restaurant that was once a mansion, built in the 1840s. There is a magnolia tree that is well over 100 years old on our patio, and I noticed the other day that it is starting to bud. Not unusual, since it usually flowers the first or second week of April.However, it is SNOWING today, and the high tomorrow is only supposed to be 38 degrees. Will it still flower this year, or will the buds just fall off if they freeze?

April Flowers Question: 4
When is the best time to start a garden? We are in Spring, almost April, when is the best time to start a garden?? what kind of flower seeds can i buy that will grow every year without re-seeding again?
Answer: 1. depends where you are at. usally when the danger of frost has gone.
Answer: 2. I started mine last weekend but I live in an area not prone to frost. If you do live in an area where frost is prevalent, check to see when the last frost date is and start it after that. I would seek seeds that yield periennal flowers because they come back every year. I am more of the instantaneous gratification gardener so I buy the flats or small container plants so I have an immediate garden and don't have to thin seeds or wait for germination.
Answer: 3. Check the internet for a Planting Calendar in your area. Most states have an Agricultural Extention Service with offices throughout. Check the telephone book. Good luck.
Answer: 4. Here is nifty site that tells your last frost date for your zone.

Answer: 5. I start my garden around mothers day and i live in Utah your local garden shop should be able to tell you when and what to grow in your area annuals only grow 1 year perennials grow for more then one year so if you want it to come up every year look for perennials
Answer: 6. I suggest to start planning your garden in the winter. You have lots of time to think about how you want your garden to look, what kind of garden you want, when you can actually start tilling, cleaning, & planting it. Do you want plants & flowers to climb, do you want low growing plants, do you want fruit that you can pick and eat or make jelly or wine out of.
There are endless possibilities when starting a garden. Annuals only grow for one season, perennials come back every year, bi-ennials flower their second season.
Check out the links below to get more ideas of what you would like in your garden.
Answer: 7. june will be best. as for seeds that come back up hostas and cone flowers are nice as well as swamp sunflowers, cannas, irises, and morning glories.
morning glories re seed them selves
Answer: 8. Probably May 1. If you have a sunny area, grow coreopsis, shasta daisy, and galardia from seed.
