Garden & Landscape - June 2006

I used Miracle Grow soil and food and planted in large containers so I could keep in sun daily for long period of time. I feed about every 12 days and water almost daily as listed in directions on Miracle Grow Food box. I'm still hoping I'll have at least one good tomato but I'm so disappointed .

I do'nt know much about flowers. I have a small yard. I would like to give it some life, it just look so bland. I live in chicago, that's why I would like the names of ones that grow back in the spring?

Ok, I found the tag for my shrub with the withering leaves. It is a
Pink Beauty Hydrangea. Just planted this spring, in morning and evening the leaves are curling up. They have good color and other than the curling, the plant looks to be very healthy. What could cause it to look withered like this?

if i'm not mistaken, coke is acidic, so if i use it to water the acid soil plants such as Roses, or to turn the Hydrangea into blue color, does it help?

I've got loads of brown snails and slugs in my container garden destroying everything! What's the best way to get rid of them without using pellets (I don't want to use them because I've got a dog).

I've heard of using beer traps, is it just lager you put out for them?

I have some strawberries growing in a container, they're growing well and they have put out 'shoots' coming out of the top of the container- it looks like they have little leaves on the end. What shall I do with them? Can I pot them?

I live in the city and the grey squirrels and ground squirels are distroying my potted plants. I have several hundred plants (flowers, bushes, bulbs and trees) and the squirrels dig them up several times a day. I have no pets. I do not want to use anything poison! Just want them to either go away or leave my plants alone. I have tried using a fake owl but they figured it out. Any other scare tatics would be great.

The lawn mower started back up and blew a ton of white smoke. Now it sputters REAL bad and barely runs. It's getting worse and worse. How do I fix it?
