I have a cherry tree that is loaded with cherries but the cherries won't ripen. I am finding as much hard unripened fruit on the ground as in the tree and the birds won't even clean them up. I have been watering the tree every day because it is in sandy soil that gets very dry quickly in the sun. I have also removed all the grass and weeds away from the tree to help it grow better. What can I do to help the fruit to become ripe?

I want to be able to grow grass up to the trees so it won't die out and also prepare a garden between the trees. I'm new to working a yard and I need help.

The 20 ft tree is still alive, but the leafing is frighteningly pitiful. A second Magnolia tree in the yard (30 ft, same age), is spectacular. Last year the Magnolia in question was fine. This winter was quite mild. A dry winter, but a very wet and mild Spring. In general all other growth was ahead of usual schedule. I'll definately give it another year, but am very concerned. Any suggestions? Barry

I have a vegetable garden and I keep finding yellowish green caterpillars in my parsley. Are these gypsy moths?

Also, I have many ladybugs hanging out on my cucumbers and lettuce - will they harm them? Or do they just eat aphids?

I looked at a few pesticides at the store, but I am not sure about putting them on my vegetation - any ideas?

The many shade trees,magnolia and pine, are producing so many leaves that the lack of sunlight has killed most of the grass near the house....Without cutting the trees down(too big,too old) is there anything else that I can do to keep the ground next to the house from staying so damp all year round?????? Many Thanks to all!

We live in North Carolina near the South Carolina border. I am already seeing flowers on my mums. Is it too late to pinch back? I have never pinched them back and am afraid I will harm the blooms for fall. They look bushy right now, but I want the color in the fall and not now.

I'm on my second batch of these indestructuble trees (killed the first two), and wanted to get input from others that may be growing them. I'm trying to get them to grow in Dallas, TX - they are advertised as drought resistent so I thought they would be a good tree...

here's the deal... ive been working on my green thumb for cacti growth recently, so far 3 casualties, and 3 still surviving... now i want to move onto a christmas cactus. my mom a few around the house, but she's not so good with them, they look like they are tired and sagging. anyways, i want to steal a piece or 2 by cutting it and replanting it... how do i go about this successfully?

ive already bought some cactus soil and a small pot. i don't want it to grow too big, but to look pretty and bloom, so i will most likely keep it in the small pot, and possibly decorate it...

what are some tips and information i need to know for growing a beatiful healthy christmas cactus?
