Edible flower gardens???

I was wondering what flowers are edible by humans. I was talking to a friend of mine about this the other day. I am thinking about starting an edible flower garden and I can’t remember what flowers are edible.

So here are my questions

1. What flowers are edible?
2. What edible flowers will grow in South Louisiana?
3. Do I treat the edible flower garden like I would my vegetable garden, fruit garden, herb garden, trees, or regular flower beds?
4. What are the advantages to the edible flower gardens vs buying the flowers for eating?

What is the best way to remove grass from my flower bed?

I have two flower beds in my front yard with shrubs covered in mulch. I continually get grass growing in them and need to remove it.

I need your expertise on cutting flowers grown in an open field, please?????

I am in south Texas, zone 9, 25 miles inland from the coast (zone 8 begins at least 21/2 hours north of here). We will need 1000 cut flowers the third week of March next year. This is my first year at growing in zone 9…..am going to build up with railroad ties about 1/3 of an acre. Any help with seeds sown now or when?? perennials to bloom in March and bulbs, too….any flower that can be cut the third week of March in this zone….thanks so much….

Scarify to grow?

I’m an amateur gardener and I just read that to help a seed grow it should be scarified. This is what happens to seeds that are eaten by birds as the acid in the birds stomach scars the seed and the seed then is stimulated to grow into a tree (shrub, flower, bush, whatever it inherently is) once it is passed by the bird and lands in the mud.
I immediately thought of tatttoos as healing and humans as seeds who scar themselves to stimulate their own growth so they can reach their full potential as the tree/shrub/flower/bush that they inherently are.
Is this stretching it?
Are tattoos just trendy now and as common as nose piercings?

What are some simple flowers that grow directly from the ground (like a marigold)?

As opposed to on a bush (like a rose or hibiscus). I am doing a painting of a grassy scene with bunches of diffierent flowers growing in a field. The simpler the flower, the better. Thx.

Where is a good gardening web site?

Does anyone know of a good gardening web site where I can find a list of what kind of plants and vegtables to plant and when to plant them ? I have for some unknown reason been bitten by the “bug” and am chomping at the bit to give it a try… I used to really enjoy working in my familys flower and vegtable garden when I was a child.

I would like to have some kind of plants or flowers to grow most of the year…as far as the vegtable garden I was thinking along the lines of the more basic items…corn, tomatoes, squash, beans, melons..things like that, but things i could grown and tend to throughout the year.

I know that this may seem like a big question, but I really think I can do this…grow things I mean.

Any advice ya’ll could give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Michael
