In front of house in decorative area. Fair drainage.
Have a low spot that gets lots of water, in full sun all morning hot in summer with lo humidity. ? to plant???
Sounds like a perfect place for a bog garden. Plants that like to have their feet wet all the time like pond plants. Pick up a few at your local nursery they a labeled as bog plants in a special section. Add Some amendments to the soil and small rocks for stability and some large rocks to edge the area and wala you have a whole different type of garden.
Reply:Try the oriental poppy, daffodil, scarlet sage or rosemary.
Reply:anything TROPICAL. Canna Lily, Tall Ornimental Grass, any climbing vines or Roses, they love the sun and have a large thirst. Clematis also would work, the blooms are absolutely breathtaking. No Hostas, they like the water but are strictly shade perennials. No morning glories, the are sensative to heat and like shade as well. Really and full sun perennial would work, shasta daisy, purple cone flowers, black eyed susans, butterfly bush,......and they are all perennials.

How do stop my spider plant from dying?
Sometime in December or January I bought a spider plant. It was very healthy looking full and green. Since then it has declined in health. The leaves started turning brown. I looked up information on the internet but everything they have suggested does not seem to help (less water, more water, distilled water, more sun, less sun, miracle grow). The plant gets sun but is not in direct sunlight.
I don't know what to do. That beautiful plant has died in the middle and now the left side is drooping and brown. Help me save my plant !!

If your plant continues to turn brown, then it is time to buy a new plant and start all over again. This happens. Gardeners are use to having to start over.
I wish you well.
Reply:How frustrating! It sounds like you've got the light right, so you probably have insects (spider mites are a huge problem with houseplants) or a plant disease. What usually works for me:
1. I buy and apply some Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs - I get it from my local Walmart, but it's also at Lowes, Home Depot, etc.
2. I let the soil dry out between waterings; this usually means only watering once per week %26amp; making sure that weekly watering is good and deep. The first watering, and every three months after that, I add the Bayer stuff to the water at the rate it says on the package.
Good luck!

You may be watering it too much.
Reply:If they are the bottom leaves just pull them off. bottom leaves always die off as the plant grows. It may be lacking some vitamins in the soil that it needs. If its all over the plant.

What are the fuel sources for a non Fossil Fueled Nuclear plant? .... the sun?
No nuclear plant uses fossil fuels. They use fissile material, most often uranium 235. The sun provides all the energy on our planet either directly (light and heat) or indrectly (photosynthesis, solar power) with the exception of nuclear power.
What are the fuel sources for a non Fossil Fueled Nuclear plant? .... the sun?
lol a nucluer power plant juns off the heat the reacting uranium makes it turns the water in to high pressur steam and is pushed through a turbine generoter then is put through a condenser turning it to water agian and the prosses repeats
Reply:Nuclear plants use U235 as the fuel in a fission reaction. This isotope of uranium is obtained from uranium ore that is mined. It has to be separated from the minerals that the mixture of uranium is found in.
The sun uses hydrogen and its isotopes to produce its energy in fission reactions that fuse the nuclei together to form larger elements. The hydrogen atoms and molecules exist in space and are drawn together by gravitational attraction. A large cloud forms and becomes denser and denser as more and more hydrogen is added to it. Eventually the cloud heats up as it becomes larger and denser so that it "ignites" into a fusion reaction.

Good Plants for full sun garden in North Carolina?
I want lots of color in my front garden, but it is in full sun all day. I am going to plant some knock out shrub roses and I have a row of hawthorne in the back, it has small white flowers in May. What kind of flowering plants can I put in the garden for good bursts of color throughout the season. I prefer to have good perennial plants and then plant an annual border each year. This year we have snap dragons and petunias as a border, but it is a very large planting bed and we need more color.

I love day lilies- they are cheap multiply like crazy and require little care. They come in so many different varieties that it is easy to pick some you like.
the link below is to easy to grow bulbs. I got some Lillie's from them last year and was very pleased:
http://www.easytogrowbulbs.com/
Also perennial:
Shasta daisy, really easy likes the sun
Russian sage- purple likes the heat
In the annual category:
Salvias are also nice in full sun. I am a big fan of the annual red salvia you purchase at Lowe's.
Dusty miller is nice as an accent and takes no care.
Marigolds and geraniums are pretty bright.
Just some ideas, I always have fun just looking at the online gardening sites to get ideas. Happy planting, Spring is here
Reply:Wave petunias will add a TREMENDOUS amount of color and are large and showy.. Vincas are a good choice in sun as well. Marigolds will do nicely as well, Mexican heather.. All have nice color and will take the sun.
Reply:a couple of my favorite full sun perrennials are Russian sage a very large,blue spiky plant that starts blooming around the middle of july very fragrant,monardia or bee balm another taller perrennial that blooms in reds,pinks purple and white again another great smelling perrennial,gallardia or blanklet flower comes in reds yellows and oranges these are about 2 feet tall and once they start blooming they bloom until frost,and my very favorite are perrennial asters again taller plants that start blooming around the end of july and bloom until frost they are always covered with flowers and there are many colors to choose from if you need more ideas check out wayside gardens that's a site that can really give you plenty of ideas. Good luck!

Where is a good place to plant a Banana Tree, I live in North east Georgia. Sun, Shade, etc....?
They can freeze but they grow back.
They reproduce rapidly and can quickly expand into quite a large area. Sun is the best but make sure that it is an area with a lot of room.

You should plant it in a movable container and bring it in for the winter.

I would like to know if a tomatoe plant needs sun all day long?
how much water
I would like to know if a tomatoe plant needs sun all day long?
no.. about 6hrs.. i have mine getting morning sun then afternoon shade... %26amp; depending on u'r weather.. %26amp; humidity... I have potted tom... i water them twice a day really good. In ground if u put mulch around them u may b able to get away w/ twice a day but if u c the leaves curling too mch... more water.
Reply:Yeap full sun, they love it.
Reply:It needs @ least 6 hrs. I did plant 2 plants last yr. in partial sun, didn,t do great tho. I water every 2-3 days.
Reply:no,but at least 6 to 8 hours the sun helps to sweeten and ripen them better
Reply:Water every day in this heat. Sun all day is the best but at least 3/4 of a day. Make sure that your soil drains well and that you keep a good layer of mulch. If you can't water ever day then...more mulch and maybe some of the soil water holders.
Reply:The more the merrier. That's why tomatoes grow more in the Mediterranean, where the sun is a scorcher.
Water loads, but just after sundown, or the water will boil the roots. (So to speak, but it does damage plants to be watered in the full sun)
Reply:My tomato plant gets half-sun and
a daily drink of water.
Right now, it's taking over the back yard.
If it gets any larger, I might have to
re-name it, THE THING.
Today, while I was cutting the grass,
it bit the lawn mover.
Reply:i water mine every 2 to 3 days. get a spade and turn over a small patch of soil, its probably still moist even after a couple of hot sunny days. and full sun is best. good luck
