Starting seeds, soil dried out, will they still grow?
Around March 20th I started a slew of seeds of Rosemary, Lupine, Foxglove, Grape Vines and Torch Lilly down in my reading room. Well, I got busy and forgot about watering my seedlings untill today and noticed that most of my lillies have not started growing nor a few of my rosemary pots. (I know its because I allowed them to dry out) I had them all still in plastic domes and the Peat pots that I am starting them in are still wet but the the soil on the ones that did not start was dry. My question ... (Asked by candy w)

You need to keep the soil moist to help the seed germinate, so unless the seeds you planted are very resilient you probably will lose them. Sorry....(Answered by Chuck P) |

Hey there! Fellow Texan..the Japanese Beetles were horrendous this year..I would lay my money on that! Try Neem Oil ..if that IS what the problem was.go ahead and treat the area...I had mine in pots..then moved it into the ground..did battle with the Beetles..and won!.Also, use the Neem on your other plants..but if you have Hibiscus..dont put it on those..and avoid any blooms or buds on your other plants. I live in South Texas..near Corpus and I water my plants daily because of the hot, humid weather..unless of course, it's raining like it has been lately! Also, dont forget to ...(Answered by turbosbabe96) |

How to dry a rose bouquet?
I have a beautiful bouquet of long stem red roses that my husband gave me for Valentines Day. So far I've kept them fresh by putting them in the fridge every night and they still look brand new. Now I want to dry them though and use them as decoration in my living room.
I know that usually you are supposed to hang them upside down in a dry, dark place to dry them, but we live in a very humid area (right now the thermometer says the humidity is at 56%).
Would hanging them upside down in a dark place ... (Asked by Hassen)

I live in a humid area as well.Hanging them upside down in a dry ,dark area are the usual instructions but I have found that it is also important to hang them where there is good air circulation.The most important parts are not in direct sunlight,hanging upside down and in a warm area with good air circulation.The air helps prevent mold.I live on the coast of British Columbia ,Canada and I have had good results that way.GOOD LUCK !!...(Answered by mcpheecult) |

You can dry flowers in a box with an inch-thick layer of fine sand. Simply fill a shoe box or other small container with the cleanest, finest sand you can find, place your flowers inside, and then sprinkle more sand over the flowers until they are completely covered. Leave them in a closet or cupboard for two to four weeks. The sand will draw out moisture in this time. Good luck:)...(Answered by Emily) |

In my opinion, dried roses are very pretty but once flattened, as you would need in a scrapbook, they lose some of their eye appeal.
I would suggest taking at least one of the roses and removing a few petals. Take those petals and press them between sheets of paper toweling sandwiched between a couple of heavy books. The dried petals might work better in your scrapbook as they will not be as bulky as an entire dried bloom.
The intact dried blooms will last for years displayed in a vase or one of those glass display domes. ...(Answered by ujd272) |
