Ok, I know from "hanging" around here that you all are really up on all your plant names and I'm sorry but I don't know what the true name is...
I am basically a fledgling gardener. I've always done flowers but the older I get, I begin to get more and more satisfaction so I do more and more, until my husband said I'm a full blown gardener! Well anyway. . . my question is this, I bought "lemon yellow" daisies for my window boxes this year, I had them and then "million blue bells" in the front and the daisies in the back. My boxes were the most beautiful they've ever been my entire 7 year career, but now my daisies are dead...my question is this, I planted them in April right after Easter, bought from a gardening store. They were beautiful full and lovely. I dead-headed them every other day. Gave them water soluable fertilizer every three to four days and watered them every other day. Here it is just July and I feel I should still have them. On the tag that came with them it said Lemon colored flowers all season long. Is the season over for daisies????
Today I had to pull them and replant my boxes with Zinnia.
I hope those work...this is my first year raising from seed and first year for ever using Zinnia's. They're doing gang busters in ground and I'm so proud that I'm the one who grew them!! :o) I've so many plants of them that I transplated some into my window boxes to replace my daisy fiasco...
Also I've got a second season black eyed susan bush coming back almost ready to flower and the leaves are either spotted brown or dried and brown. Am I watering them too much or was it too wet this spring or what???
Thanks for any and all help to my perplexing problems!!
