Front Flower Bed, Need Ideas Please

I had a small dogwood tree here and the winter got it after 10 yrs. I would love something like that or another small blooming tree that would do well in full hot sun in the summer, No shade here.

  • Thryallis (Galphimia glauca) provides an almost non-stop show of sunny yellow blooms.
  • African iris (Dietes iridioides) has flushes of bloom from early spring through late summer. 2
  • Salvia gregii "Lipstick" loves the sun, combines well with other perennials and is a great attractor of beneficial insects.

Aloe Vera - Succulent With Many Medical Benefits

I lived in Australia for 15 years and came to really love succulents. The climate of Perth was very dry and succulents grew everywhere.

This is where I first came to growing Aloe vera. It was also very hot in Australia and I often got sunburned. I would just split open an aloe vera leaf...put on the gel and get instant comfort from the burn.

Aloe vera has many other benefits too. See more here:

I want to overseed a dying lawn

The front lawn I had enough $$ to lay good local new sod. I don't have the money to do the back...besides the front has inground sprinklers not so much the back.

Last year I tried all of the hints and helps and did everything they asked and NOTHING! This year I did my own thing...I want to take wagers on if you think it will take or not..

Seed is Scott's Hardy grass seed (given to me by someone locally who has used it and worked perfectly) ...»

    Thank you Christine I am pretty ...»
    sure I do not have grubs, and the dirt I put on came from organic potting soil along with potting soil from other items I have planted last year and just haven't planted this year yet.

    We haven't seen to see many of the lawn bugs you speak of around here. Before I did a weed and feed the ground was relatively green but I was tired of just having lots of weed! I also didn't have the crab grass like I did in my front yard when I bought locally grown organic sod.

    I just hope the seed I used will take well....my mom used it at her house and it did pretty well.

    You gave a lot of wonderful information that might really help a lot of people thank you for replying!

  • Erosion was a real problem. Not to mention the dirt the builders brought in. Very sticky clay plus a ton of rocks.
  • This is what we had to work with.
  • We dug out and built these tiers by hand one shovel at a time! We took the Garden of Eden Film approach and brought in compost plus year old mulch to serve as a natural "covering". So we rarely water our garden.

Can Anyone Tell Me What Type of Plant This Is?

I was given this plant a few days ago, but was not told what type it was, aside from it being an indoor plant. When I received the plant, the leaves were almost black with bugs and the starting to turn a yellow color. I washed the leaves last night which seemed to help it a bit, but the leaves are still turning yellow. The plant was bone dry, so I watered it a bit and put it in a sunny location, but not direct sun light. There are also little bulbs that are there, but the gal that gave ...»
