Last year, I planted mums and then this winter they frosted and the blossoms are brown and papery. For them to bloom again this fall, do I need to cut off last year's blossoms? I'm very new at gardening and would like to enjoy the mums come this fall. Please help, thank you!

I am a new homeowner and know nothing about gardening. I moved into the home in the winter time so the garden was pretty bare. There was a huge mum though that I loved. Once it died I cut it down as I was told. Come spring time, some daffodils appeared. I had a landscaper come to put down mulch and a weed protector. I told him to put the weed protector around the daffodils and to leave the area where the mum was alone. As for the rest, I'd try to plant some flowers myself. Stupid mistake, I should have waited a full year to see what would grow in the garden. Any way, it is now June and a plant has grown where I thought the mum was supposed to be. I checked the area next to the new plant today and it is covered with the weed protector. I think this is where the mum may actually be. If I cut the weed protector away, will the mum still grow or have I killed it already? I know mums bloom in the fall but I don't know if it should have already started to grow.

I live in Florida...It is oven roasting hot!!! my tomato plants are not doing wonderfully well. First they got hit with some bugs, I sprayed but the leaves have turned brown and fell off. They seem to be doing better that way now. The tomato size is small and they just don't seem to want to produce. Any ideas? The soil I have them in is very rich, imported from the garden center.

I used preen prior to planting and then again a few weeks ago, but just in between plants. It's working well except for these thistles! I know they are a terrible weed to kill. Any suggestions what I need to do for next years planting? If I use round up or similar weed killer this fall, will it ruin the chances of growing my garden in the same spot next year?

I planted it last fall in my vegetable garden and am not sure when the right time is to harvest it

Hi, I live in Ohio.. I think zone 5. I'd rather not have to dig anything up in the fall. i recently dug out a small round garden, and I have a brick retention wall up. Inside are hostas, catmint, hardy glads, red king crocosmia, dill, basil and parsley. I'd like to put something around the edges, to sort of fill it in a bit.. preferably low maintanance, that isn't expensive to plant a reasonable amount of. Any suggestions? Anything else that would look nice with the other plants is good too, doesn't just have to be the edge.
Also a suggestion for something to go in a big planter next to a swing in my backyard.. it will be mostly shade.

I need Ideas for late Summer and Fall Planting.

Ideas and Facts for Rainy Portland/Pacific NW climate? Please help?

In early spring, I transplanted 3 wild roses from my road to my garden. Most of there leaves fell off, the plant looked un waterered, dead, but I took good care of it and it made a great recovery, all the leaves are finally back. I took 12 more wild roses and made there own flower bed for them. Most of the leaves are already crackly, and falling off. I transplanted them about 2 weeks ago. I suspect that most of the leaves will probably fall off anyway, and I think 2 of the wild roses might die, because almost all of there leaves are fallen. Some new leaves are finally starting to grow, and they are a nice green colour. I know they won't bloom this year, but next year, when, and for long will they bloom? They are about a foot to 2 feet tall, and the ones on the road have been blooming for about a month, but there arn't very many blooms because no body dead heads or trims them. Thanks:) And one last thing, I have sweet peas, and are about 5-8 inches tall. When will they bloom? Thanks.
