I live in an apartment and my balcony faces north and is surrounded by big trees. It does get some sunlight but not a lot. I don’t want fake plants. What’s my best bet for plants and flowers that will survive in this condition.

I am having a very small reception at my mother’s house during the middle of July. She said that we could plant some bulbs and have the flowers in bloom around that time. My wedding colors are pink and chocolate with a little bit of white, so those colors would be wonderful as I would really like to skip the florist. Thank you!

Gracie’s Mom asked:


I want to start a garden outside my new house and I’d also like to plant a lot of flowers.

There isn’t much shade and I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, so it’s a pretty humid, hot, and VERY sunny climate.

Does anyone know what vegetable plants and flowers will grow well in this type of environment? Is there a really great gardening website that anyone would like to share with me? THANKS!

I have tried several beautiful flowers in my flower beds in front of my house but they just don’t last in this Florida heat even though I water them well in the evenings. What flowers can I plant either annuals or perenials that will last in our heat?
