What flowers can you plant that will grow under pine trees?
Comments (16)Good Day, I too have a shade garden under pine trees, two actually. I have Korean Spice bush, hosta, lots of early spring bloomers but by mid summer the only thing that is still looking good is the bush and hostas. It is too dry to keep impatiens alive unless I water daily, I've even tried sinking pots to help hold the moisture, just won't grow. Any suggestions for something that will give me some color during the hot summer and won't require that I have to mortgage my house to pay the water bill? Thank You,Elphinstone...See Moreadvice plzzz on how to keep neighbors plants growing under fence
Comments (8)Sorry, maybe I'm missing it, but why are you determined to make more work for yourself, for no good reason? I have been an avid gardener for years. As I see it, these may be your best bets: 1. Shelve the attitude about your neighbor and go pay a visit. Their yard may not make the cover of House and Garden, but that doesn't mean they don't care about it just as much as you care about your space. People express their creativity in different ways and are dealing with who knows what these days; I'm sure you do stuff that others would mock, too. Ask about the plants. Maybe they would be willing to move them. It's better than just killing something that isn't yours because you don't like it. And honestly, if you sprayed Round-Up and killed something of mine (especially if it had sentimental value), our nice neighborly relations would definitely be strained, to say the least. There's no reason to cultivate strife, so just go over and be nice. There's a chance they didn't even know their plants were encroaching. 2. As someone else suggested (another gardener, probably) plant the visitors so you can cut down on weeding that area. You know, what you consider a weed (agapanthus) is a plant that I've seen cultivated (and coveted) in various spaces around Monet's garden at Giverny and a plant that people like me pay about $9 each for in catalogs. One person's weed is another person's treasure. It's all in how we view things. Irises are pretty, as are the "weeds" (which are probably mushy because they can't dry out, with being close to the dirt and bending under the fence). So why not create a garden out of them along the fenceline? You can get a few companion plants you like on the cheap, too. I bet it would be beautiful once you've finished.

Comments (3)As I understand it, the seed sprouting consumes chemical energy from the seed to grow, but there is only a limited supply. When the energy of the seed runs out, if the plant can't collect energy from sunlight on its leaves, it will perish....See Morehow many plants to put under grow light?
Comments (1)Except for the tomatoes you could get by with 2" pots. peppers and eggplants grow a tad slow even under the best lights whereas tomatoes will grow like weeds. Squash and zucchini are generally better off direct sown....See Morefloral_uk z.8/9 SW UK
