Here’s what I’ve got and done so far…
A lobelia Hybrid “Luguna compact with blue eye” and a “sunbeam kordana rose” both planted in 8 in terra cotta pots(with drain), on the ground in semi-shade.
A Calibrachoa hybrid “superbells tickled pink” planted in a hanging tin 6 in planter(with drain) hung in direct sun
A mini-spider plant and tiny-fern both in 3 in ceramic pots (no drain) in shade
I planted all 5 plants in Miracle Grow potting soil.
So here’s my questions…
1. would the spider or fern do better indoors? and do they need draining or larger pots?
2. How often should i water each of them? Do any of them need plant food?
3. It’s already fall so will they still be alive this winter? (I’m in SoCal)
4. If they die for the winter (1st 3 say annuals) When will they come back, do i have to do anything to them to make them come back?
5. Please! anything else I should know, I’m really new to this and don’t understand alot of garden-lingo yet,
Thanks!

What Should I Do To Prepare My Vegetable Garden For Planting?

I am new to this gardening thing and I want to have a vegetable garden so that we have vegetables and fruit from early summer through late fall. I know that each vegetable has it’s own PH requirements. How do I prep the soil for all the things I’m wanting to plant? Is there a fertilizer that I should use that would be good for a wide range of veggies? I live in northern Ohio. When should I start prepping the soil? When should I plant? Should I plant a second time during the season to ensure that I have veggies into the fall? What should I plant? The area I want to plant is roughly 15 X 20 ft.

Jose is a illegal immigrant and I fell in love with him as a gay man.
When he trimmed my roses and cut my St. Augustine grass with his little butt wiggling in the frosty wind,(Global warming hasn’t hit us in Michigan yet), I knew I had to marry Jose. Does this mean I still have to pay for his gardening?

Because they use water that all of the roommate pay for, I want to make it fair to everyone but there is no way to determine exactly how much more water the garden uses.
Should I charge them a full portion of the bill (ie if there are 3 renters and 1 gardener, charge everyone 25% of the bill each month)?
Should I charge them a flat fee? If so, how much?
The garden is 13′x10′.

I live in north London and have a small 20×20 garden – square shaped with beds on the edges. On part of these beds I put in daffodil and tulip bulbs last year and they are just starting to come up. I would like to have a pretty garden with flowers through out the year. I’d also like an apple tree to see apple blossoms – is it too late to plant one? This is my first house and first garden so I’m clue less.
How do I go about doing this – any help would be greatly appreciated.

I live in TN. So, far we have had about 2 weeks of warm weather (60s & 70s) before spring even set in. Last year, our winter ended right around this time also unlike past decade where cold weather ( < 60F) would last through April. So, should I wait a little longer or can I go ahead and start my flower gardening now?

She always shows up in my yard while I am gardening. She wears loose tops and bends over in front of me so that I can see her breasts. She never is wearing a bra either.
It is having an effect on me now, how do I handle?

I’ve bought for everyone but my grandfather. He’s 82 and loves gardening and water gardening. Usually, I get him a bird feeder (he loves bird watching) or something that has to do with hummingbirds. This year I’m at a loss. I’m a first year teacher on my own and on a very limited budget. Any ideas?
