Gardening: Bougainvillea's??

Can I get someone to feed me in on how to care for these beautiful fragile looking flowers? I've never had one, saw them at a market decided to try it since I understand it was a Texas ...»
tolerant flower. However, had it less then a month and all it's flowers have fallen off and it's close to death now :-(

I had it in my front yard when the afternoon sun hit it, then I saw it sadly go so I moved it to the back where it can get the morning sun, not as strong. I water it often.

Any help will be helpful, Thank you

Gardening: Help building a flower bed

OK all you master gardeners, I need your expertise. First, let me say that I live in Texas and I am trying to build a bed in an area that has hard rocky soil. A friend of mine dug out ...»
the area to about 5 inches deep. I do not want to use the black landscaping paper. However, someone told me to use cardboard. They said to lay it on the existing rocky soil. Then to fill in with garden soil followed by a layer of several sheets of newspaper and then mulch on top. Does this sound good to you or do you have any other suggestions?

    I suspect this plant makes tons of little plants like another kalanchoe known as "Mother of ...»
    Thousands." There's probably no cure other than persistent pulling. Try to get them while they're small so they don't have a chance to further multiply.

Gardening: Ant hills everywhere!

We recently had our backyard graded after building an addition to our house. We plan to put down sod in the next month (once we can get rid of some of the rocks and roots that are now ...»
showing up). In the last few weeks, there are ant hills appearing daily. Many ant hills. What is the best way to get rid of them at this stage? Would a liquid spray work better than a granular bait? I am going to use a barrier treatment around the house, but feel I need to do something on the hills themselves. All the rain we are having isn't helping matters, either.
