i’m doing a science fair project and i want to know what kind of soil is best to grow a small plant, what kind of seeds i should use to grow a small plant, and what kind of lamp i should buy for a plant that gets all light.
You might try planting violas:

You’ll want to use potting soil if you’re going to plant the seeds in a pot.
Here’s a site for information regarding your lighting source:

("Plants need dark periods. Light (called photo-periods) and dark periods and their relative lengths have an effect on plant maturity. ")

Starting a vegetable garden in NYC. I have a small backyard with soil. Want to grow things that I won’t find in the local supermarket. Any advice on what heirloom varieties grow best in this region? I don’t dislike any vegetable but looking more towards maybe tomatoes, beets, carrots, squash, beans type vegetables.
Beefsteak tomatoes from your part of the country are the best eating ever. You can also grow everything else on your list.
I’m wanting to plant some lovely seeds/bulbs in the garden, not sure where the best place is. I need a superstore name or something. Thx

In your opinion what is the most unique perennial or most pretty
The Iris is beautiful, & I haven’t been able to find a lot of tattoos with it’s design. The Iris was used as the symbol of royalty & was used on French coat of arms. I like the Orchid flower, too. This picture is labeled an orchid but looks like an Iris:

The Rose, Lily & Lotus flowers are beautiful, but not unique for tattoos. The Rose is one of the most frequently used flower for tattoos.
Here are tatoo designs of the Lily & the Lotus flower:

The Rose in the West represents what the Lotus does in the East. A symbol of love, but especially of a love that is pure. Rose tattoo images :

Images of a tattoo of a rose with prominent thorns – the thorns being the means by which the rose protects itself – reminds us that beauty does not come without sacrifice and that caution must be exercised, lest the prick of the thorn draw blood. Love is not without risk. Ecstasy does not come without it’s share of agony.

More flower tattoos & their meanings:
"Iris became a messenger of the gods and stood for ‘good news’ or a ‘message’. Its three petals came to symbolize faith, valor, and wisdom."

Good Luck! Hope this helps.
I’m a new homeowner, and for the first time in my life have enough yard (about 2 acres) to justify a riding lawn mower. I’d prefer something a little more heavy-duty– a so-called "garden tractor"– because I’m likely to use it for more than just mowing. Aerating, seeding, hauling around mulch and setting out a garden are among the activities in which I’d employ the tractor.
I looked at a new gasoline-powered Kubota today with a 46-inch mowing deck and an 18 horsepower Kohler V-twin engine, but the dealer wanted something like $3,800 for it!
For obvious reasons, then, I’m also entertaining used garden tractors. Later today, I’m going to check out an old Ford LGT garden tractor– the local New Holland (former Ford tractor) dealer says parts are plentiful, though I would have to order most of them and wait a couple days for them to come in if something on this late ’70s-early ’80s tractor happened to break. If the asking price isn’t more than $500 or $600, I’ll be sorely tempted to buy it, despite its age. My family has a history of restoring old mowers like this one, for what it’s worth.
Anyway, I’m interested in hearing your opinions on this: New or used, what’s the best garden tractor out there for a not-too-ridiculous price? I’m talking under $1,500 used– preferably under $1,000 used to be honest– and under $2,500 if new.
Don’t waste your time of a smaller ones from Lowe’s, home depot, etc.. Those are overpriced lawnmowers. Kubota has great, reliable and nice tractors / mowers. They may not be the cheapest, but me and my family have two of them. We will never need another one. We have a zero turn with a huge deck and a G1800 or something around that design it has 4 wheel steering( its over 10 years old, has been take care of, and has shown no problems ). My family and I live on 4 acres. The zero turn can mow all of it within two hours. We have never done any major repairs on them. Simple routine maintenance can keep them running strong for a long time (changing oil, filters, and sharpening blades).
There are many good mowers out there, but you get what you pay for. Kubota has treat me well and I will never get anything other than them. I believe you could probably find a good well maintained used one at a cheaper price ( look into the G series ).
