x-posted. Question about my flowers
Hi there!
Last week I planted my new flowers in my front yard. I planted some ranunculuses, hyacinthus, and a geranium.
The spot I chose was right along the our house. Our landlord has beauty bark on top of this silk cloth. Under the silk cloth is filler dirt- no top soil. I dug the holes; filled with potting soil and placed the flowers in the holes and watered with miracle grow.
My flowers
seem to be dying 
. Did I do this incorrectly? I placed them in the
spots according to part shade/sun. Is it the dirt in my front yard? I'm
thinking of digging the flowers back up and placing them in a whiskey
barrel.

Re: x-posted. Question about my flowers
By digging a hole and just putting potting soil in it you've essentially created a bathtub that doesn't drain well. Your plants are probably drowning.
Potting soil is for pots. You need to get some compost or composted manure and work it deeply (at least 12 inches) into a large circle (at least 18 inched in diameter) where you want to put your plant.
