OnlyHope asked:


I have 288 total square yards to plant and I’m wondering if there’s some kind of general rule for coverage per flat. The flowers will be planted about 6″ apart. I need to know how many flats to get a price for, but I don’t want my landscaper to know I’m going out to bid so I won’t ask him.

Deane asked:


I need to make little bases for holding flower and balloon arrangements outside as decorations for tables. I need something fairly heavy so they don’t fall over. Can I use cement or concrete of some kind and which does the best job. I would like to fill little flower pots with the “cement” and then put small arrangements of balloons and flowers inside. These will be used for several occasions. What are your suggestions?

Are you suppose to put flowers in cold or warm water?
