Garden & Landscape - June 2006

I have many oleander plants that provide privacy in my backyard, however they are poisonous (I have a curious 2-year-old) and they are growing a bit out of control. I'd like to have them all pulled, but then replaced with something. I'd like something that is low maintenance and tall enough to provide privacy...any suggestions?

Go to www.freeplants.com . Tell me your opinion of this business proposal. Do you think you can make money ($60,000 a year +) doing this?

How hard is it to find reliable buyers for your plants? I've got 6 acres. Do I need more acres to turn a $60,000 a year profit?

Any opinion will be appreciated.

I think it might be taking away nutrients from my tree anyways, but the mini tree growing out from the bottom is so big, I kind of want to save it and try growing it else where.

I planted a few yellow squash plants last summer in a huge planter on my balcony. The pants got huge, didn't have bugs or disease, got lots of blooms but never developed any squash. I watered them regularly, but not too much, and they got full sun. What happened? Do you have to have bees, or wind to polinate squash plants? That's the only thing I could think of. They had everything else plants need. I want to try again this year with some bush cucumber plants, and I'd kind of like some cucumbers! Ha!

I would like to plant some Queen Annes lace and daylillies in my yard but do not know how to go about it. I am assuming you would dig up the bulbs on the daylillies, but is there a proper time of year to do it? And just HOW prolific are they? I do not want them to take over. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Which do you prefer? This would be for a dining set in cast aluminum that looks like wrought iron and would be used on a wooden deck (not a patio). I like the look of dining chairs (i.e., with legs) because I prefer a traditional style with my old house, but I'm wondering if swivel chairs would be more comfortable and practical on a deck (no legs to get caught in the cracks). Opinions?

Tree is about 3 years old. Bark at ground level is now exposed. Not sure if a rabbit bit is off. Should I wrap the base of the tree with something??

One of them is doing really good but one is wilted. Is there anything I can do to help it hang in there. I've kept them watered but not over watered. It is a well drained soil and in full sun. They are about 4 feet apart so I know it's not the location.

And are they open year round? I'll need flowers in November, and I'm not sure where to find them. I hear they occupy about 2 city blocks, outdoor market. Thanks!

Go to www.freeplants.com and read this proposal. Do you think this is a "sound & reasonable" business opportunity? Or a total scam?
