Flowers come as many colors and shapes. Many people think of flowers as brightly colored showy items. While this may be true, flowers are made up of four main parts. The calyx (or outermost) is the flower's most visible part. It's made up of green and yellow sepals, which surround the flower bud. This part of a flower contains the pollen. Upon pollination, the flower can produce seed. These are the plant's means of reproduction.
FAQ
Do I need special equipment to grow vegetables in my garden?
It's not true. You only need a trowel, shovel, watering can, and a rake.
Which is the best layout for a vegetable garden?
It all depends on where you live. For easy harvesting, it is best to plant vegetables in the same area as your home. For maximum yield, however, it is best to space your plants if you are in a rural area.
When should you plant flowers?
Planting flowers during springtime is best when temperatures are warm and the soil feels moist. If you live outside of a warm climate, it is best not to plant flowers until the first frost. The ideal temperature to grow plants indoors is 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
