Garden & Landscape - July 2006

Can this be done? Do I just hold it & plant it next year? Do I need to freeze it? Do I cut the plant off? Do I just let it be?

Had been mowing the lawn for about an hour today and stopped it to talk to a neighbor just before it was done. Tried to restart after about 5-10 minutes then the motor kept intermittently revving then slowing down (almost stall) - kept doing this over and over... about 2 seconds of rev then 2 seconds really slow. Three weeks ago, I cleaned the air filter and replaced the spark plug (followed all instructions for gapping the plug and oil soaking the filter). The mower worked great for the two weeks after that and for the first hour today. There was no smoke. I let it rest for a half hour then re-started... same thing. Checked the oil... about halfway down the 'add' area... nothing overly concerning. Checked the gas... low but not empty. I filled that gas tank anyway and restarted... same thing... so I just finished the last 4 rows (very slowly) then stopped.

Do you think that the mower skipping was due to it being hot from running for an hour or could it be something else?

A beautiful Crepe Myrtle tree has grown wild in my back yard. It is about 12-16 ft tall. I would like to have it busher and fuller at the bottom.

The vicar peering over the garden wall.
Well Tom, you and the good Lord have certainly got that garden looking a treat.
Yes vicar, but you should have seen it when the Lord had it to himself.

I have a large allotment and am plagued by slugs. What is the most cost effective way of controling the little darlings? Someone suggested using salt, but wouldn't that harm the plants? And how would I apply it?

Several years ago I purchased eight RED Crape Myrtles and planted them. The first year they were too small to bloom. Last year all bloomed this brite red. The color was beautiful. This year three are blooming a brite pink/red color. The other five are brite red. Can anyone explain why this is happening and what I can do to make them all bloom red next year? Thanks for your help !

They have produced a few leaves but the bottom ones fall off and then a few more appear. Not a flower in sight. What have I done? or What should I do to fix it?
They should look so pretty.

This is sort of a 2nd parter to an earlier question. After reading the A&M website, it expressed the likelihood that a plant would remain fruitless if nighttime temps were not low enough, or if a 8-10 hour per day amount of sunlight could not be maintained. In Texas, the sunlight and daily heat requirements are not a problem at all, but the nightime temp is easilly into the 75-80+ range sometimes. If one had a temperature controlled room that could maintain a 70F range (these are potted plants by the way, i.e. mobile) could this allow the plant the ability to fruit again, or is it game over after too many nights of the wrong temp?

I've tried everything: gas smoke bombs, traps, spikes that are supposed to impale them, urine, human hair, attempts to drown, castor oil(mole rid spray), gum, moletox poison, poison peanuts, grub-ex, ultra-sonic chasers, soap/cayenne pepper/hotsauce/baby shampoo mixture, even trying to electrocute those bastards with some bare extension cord wire plugged into a easily tripable office spike protector. None of that crap works, believe me, so don't bother trying it. These things are driving me crazy, I've switched to container gardening because they dig tunnels by the roots and all my plants dry up or the mice get in the tunnels and eat on the roots and bulbs. I am at the point where I think I realy can't do a darn thing about it. I fell like Bill Murray in Caddieshack because they are laughing at my feeble attempts :)

I have a beautiful "patio" tomato plant, it has quite a few tomatoes on the plant and two have become ripe..... the problem is the tomatoes are mushy inside and the skin is a little tough. They are definitely not sitting on the vine to long as we watch them carefully....are there any experts in the tomato plants out there??

Potato seeds were last year crop grown in next door by a friend. Planted at Easter - tops are green - plants were sprayed with Sevin to reduce potatoe bugs - no insects on plants now. Decided to begin havest as we were hungry for fresh potatoes. The smaller ones to not have the grey spot inside. The spot appears the size of a nickel or a quarter. They taste just fine and no side effects were noted after eating. A friend stated the spot is due to fast growth and that eventually this grey spot would become hollow and also that a red potato with shis condition does not store well. I also planted 3 other late varieties bu have not dug any yet - will they also have grey center spots?
