My sister and I are redoing our front yard and we want some low maintenance flowers. We want them to be pretty and colorful. We live in Ohio, so it’s not super warm or super cold. We’re also on a budget so is you could keep money in mind, that’d be great. Thanks!

We put mulch down about 1 month ago and everything is already taken over with weeds so bad. Is there anything that I can spray or put down but that won’t kill my flowers?

For those all too likely times a friend decides to be cryogenically frozen for 100 years, wouldn’t Baking Soda be more useful than flowers?

It just seems you would want to do what you could to negate any potential odor issues.

Thanks.
