How often should I be watering my garden?

I have tomatoes, zuc, squash, peppers, cucs, sunflowers, and okra. I have been watering the garden every day. Temps are probably in the high 80's, but very humid. I also have a peat moss, garden soil, and a manure mixture, which is probably ok. I have also noticed a little powdery white mold around my stems, i think I can fix this, but am I watering too much, is that what is causing the mold?

Answer by Roy R
It sounds like that you are watering too much.Try cutting back to every other day and see if this helps.It should get rid of the white mold also.Are any of the leaves on the plants turning yellow? That can also be a sign of too much water.

how do fruits get food materials ? and Sakura Inflorescence 2

how do fruits get food materials ?

while flowers, which make fruits, have no food; how can fruits contain food materials required by the plant?


inflorescence best answer:

Answer by gardengallivant
The flower is attached to the plant by a stem called a peduncle. This stem has vascular tissue (xylem & phloem) just like all the rest of the plant. When the flower is fertilized the plant begins to supply the ovary with sap by way of the phloem. The ovary matures but the fruit remains attached by its peduncle to the stalk or stem or branch of the plant.
Pedicel is the small end division from a main peduncle; the stalk supporting a single flower in an inflorescence (a group of flowers). The peduncle supports the group of flowers while the pedicel supports each flower in the group. Queen Ann's Lace or wild carrots have a peduncle rise up to where the pedicels split into the umbrel of tiny white flowers.

If the flower has no main stalk but grows directly from the plant it is caulescent. The Redbud tree has flower buds on old growth that are caulescent.

What is the proper way to deadhead Hibiscus Flowers?

Do you remove only the little socket that the flower bloomed from or do you remove the whole stem that contains that socket?


flower best answer:

Answer by HARRY C
I have a hibiscus and I don't deadhead the plant at all. I wait until it completely flowers and then I cut the plant in the fall to about 1 foot from the ground.

What (if anything) can I put on Iris bulb-beds to make them bloom? and Glenfarg Blooms

What (if anything) can I put on Iris bulb-beds to make them bloom?

I have a huge iris bed that my mother brought to South Carolina nearly 50 years ago from Ohio. I recently began to break up the bed, as the roots and bulbs were so prolific they were sticking up out of the ground. I transplanted some of them, but I still can't get them to bloom,so something must be missing from the soil. Is there anything I can put on the beds to encourage blooms?


bloom best answer:

Answer by bethany
It is ok if the roots stick out of the ground. Iris plants
grow very easily and are not hard to care for. You can look
it up on the internet, by just typing Iris...what do they
need to bloom and you will get enough reading for a month.
Type it in search the web. Good luck

Glenfarg Blooms


By the roadside on the Perth Road, Glenfarg are these baskets supported on metal poles, colourful and well stocked with suitable blooms. nb I arrived to take this when the grass was being strimmed by a volunteer.
