Brook E asked:


I would like to take online or distant learning courses for horticulture. Know of any good ones?
I already know how to do the basic gardening. I know about vegetables and herbs and stuff too. I would like to further my education on the matter.

green fingers asked:


I am both interested in studying horticulture and garden design. What would be a smarter thing to do: to get a degree in horticulture and then pursue some sort of specialisation in garden design or vice versa? To what an extent do these two things intertwine in real life?

Grace asked:


I have several herbs and shade flowers I’ve raised from seeds. They all have secondary leaves on them. They are still in their seed pots (small clay pots 2-3″ diameter). It’s not time to transplant in NY yet. The danger of frost isn’t over before May. Should I fertilize them? They’ve been growing for about two months now.

dorothy q asked:


My honeysuckle was okay for 5 years then about five years ago it started dropping its petals? before they opened up. A few stayed on and opened but never a full flower. It has started again just as they are due to come out. It looks really healthy is growing better than ever and has more flowerheads than ever and I don’t want to lose them all.
Anyone have any ideas please?
Thanks
Dorothy.

stimpy asked:


My potted plants have produced flowers already, going on two or three weeks now. They show no signs of disease or deficiency, and I’ve watered frequently, sometimes using peroxide, and had an alternating regimen of normal fertilizer and comfrey tea. It is hella hot here in Texas though, so perhaps the high temperature has something to do with it. They are in partial sunlight and recieve about 4-5 hours of direct light each day.

A friend of mine wants to get into horticulture but say they don’t know much about science. Is that a problem? Do you need to to know a lot about science?
