In our first spring and summer in our new house, we discovered dozens of perennial flowers coming up. Before and during flowering, we watered them every other day, or at longer intervals when it rained.

We live at 7400 feet, very dry air, medium hot summer (mid to upper 80s, lows in the 50s), sunny most days, with rare rainfalls.

Question: After the perennials stop flowering and lose their pedals, should we continue to water the plants, or do they need to go dormant or something till the spring?

Bonus question: Two months ago, we planted a young 5-foot high fuji apple tree, also watering every couple of days, several gallons of water each time. It has flourished, growing several inches and sprouting dozens of new leaves.

Given the above climate description, what future watering schedule would you recommend?

Thanks.

Could it be to enable them to cling to vertical surfaces and climb? In that case, why don't they have tendrils, as creepers and vines do?

I have a garden of flowers with vincas, marigolds, etc.. The vincas are doing excellent, they growed very fast, but all my marigolds are dying. And it takes long weeks for the to die. They look perfect in the beginning, then it starts to get like dry and then finally the look burned. I put them vitamins every two weeks. What is going on with my marigolds? I have sprayed bug killer just in case there isa bug eating them, but it still. Please help!!

We have several ponderosa pine trees on our property, and due to recent wildfires in our area, we were told to trim branches lower than 10 feet to keep fires from spreading.

We have trimmed a few branches before, both at the trunk and leaving a few inches, but this allows sap to drip freely, and someone told us that it also exposes the tree to disease and infestation by tree-destroying beetles.

Is there a recommended method of trimming these branches or of covering over the resultant exosed wood?

Thanks.

My family just moved into a new home and I am trying to get up about three years worth of dead grass. Does anyone have any ideas aside from using a rake or a can of gasoline? (the gasoline was a joke, just in case someone thought I was serious)

I am growing Gardeners Delight and Tumbling Tom in pots (12 inch ones ) in a Polytunnel.
The plants were doing really well, the tomatoes setting well until the last few days, when they have suddenly started to fall off the plants.
I have watered them consistantly, and feed them with Tomorite once a week.
The polytunnel has doors at both ends which have been consistantly open. There is not an obvious problem with Botrytis.

I have a large, straggly damson in my back garden. It is in desperate need of a prune - one branch in particular is very heavy toward its tip, and is bending a lot under its own weight. I know damsons are best left to their own devices, but it really needs some TLC!

Are bodock trees poisonous, and if so, what part of the tree? How poisonous are they? I mean...will you get sick, get a rash, etc.? My husband clears right-of-ways and ended up "pulling brush" of a bodock tree, and it rubbed against his arm. All the other guys told him he would probably get so sick he would be out of work for a few days. Is that true or where they just messing with him?
