Hi! I have petunias, geraniums and sweet potatoe vines in a flower box right outside my window. It's in an area with heavy sunlight and a good amount of heat. I try to water them every day, but they always seem to dry out! Is there a trick to keeping them alive and well? Without overwatering?

I have a new windowbox and am looking for a good flowering perennial to grow in it. I was hoping to find something that will grow in shade and will flower most of the summer. Thanks for your help.

Hi, I've just moved into a new flat in Paris on the 6th floor facing east and i wanna grow some cherry tomatoes by hanging them over the edge of my window using a pot attached to the railings. I was then going to just let them hang lazily over the edge. Is this possible as i've never noticed anyone growing tomatoes over their balcony before? Thanks for your help!

This website says that they are false, but I don't know. I live on a forest preserve and I think I have seen one in my backyard. What should I do to make it go away?

I think we have an infestation of mosquitos and flies in our backyard. Every time we take the dog out for a piss, we get bitten up by either mosquitos or flies. Is there anything that we can buy (and pet friendly) to put in our backyard? BTW .... there is no standing water.... except for the dog's urine.

At the moment I use phosphorus pellets around my vegetabals to kill off slugs and snails on contact. The problem is I have to re-apply the stuff whenever there is rain, which is becoming an expensive way to protect my shoots! Can you give me a soloution (which is organic) to kill off/detter slugs and snails, weather proof, inexpensive and long lasting (meaning not having to go outside everyday to re-apply stuff around my crops). Any soloutions which fulfill all or some of my criteria will be welcomed. Thank you.

The trees are on the border between the two houses but could be considered part of both properties.

I have had people tell me not to water my roses during the heat of the day.
When is the best time to water?
I do water during the day but I don’t get the water on the leaves. I water at the base of the bush.
Any suggestions?

My lilac bush is rather tall about 8 feet, with lots of green leaves. Not too many flowers. Most are at the top. the flowers are finished blooming and green seeds are forming where they were. Is it too late to do any thing now? if not, what should i do? Is dead heading taking just the part that flowered or more of that stem?

I've got these massive brambles in my garden which are starting to take over everything. Problem being they're huge. I can't burn them as my garden is surrounded by other gardens. So what's the best way to get rid of them? (I live in England if that helps)
