My girlfriend really wants a Japanese cherry tree which is listed best for zones 5-9, but we live in zone 4. Anyone know what kinds of problems we might run into with this?

is it true that mowing the lawn in different directions will help it grow?

this plant is green leaves with red flowers, the flowers look like tulips, and in the middle of the flower there is a narrow yellow like bud that is very sift, but the texture of the whole plant is very firm, so it looks sort of fake, but really it's real.

My garden is mess!!!
I want to dig over all the soil and get rid of those nasty weeds,but it has'nt rained down here for 10 days and the ground is very dry.
Would it be an idea to hire a rotivator or a power digger to do the hard work???
Are they any good?

I want to put redwood stain on an old wood fence in our new backyard and husband says that would look dumb, he suggest regular color for the wood, the color that it is now, and just stain it that color instead of redwood.
which is better?

I need to protect an area that has a cliff where young children need to be kept away.
However, I don't want to ruin the views of the property by putting an ugly barrier up.
Any ideas?

Once it is planted, what kind of care does it need? Mine died through the spring. I watered and fertilized it. But what did i do wrong?

We are putting a jacuzzi in and wish to hide it from neighbors. The bush will be on a chainlink fence, in a Southern locale with good sun and moist soil. It should be 5-6 feet high and 4-6 feet wide. We'd also like suggestions for another bush in dry shade, same size, please.
Thanks :)

I don't know what kind of ferns I have....they're large, the kind I've seen forever in forests. They are very hardy. But when they die off i the fall, the fern bed looks pretty awful (it's right in front of our house). I thought it would at least look a little better if I could cover up the bare dirt with either mulch or wood chips. I can't really plant anything there because I'd disturb the ferns as I was planting. Thanks much !

I've recently bought a Venus Flytrap, and Sundew and a Pitcher plant. I'm going to put the Sundew and Pitcher by my pond (lots of annoying buzzing insects to chomp on) and was thinking of having the Flytrap in the kitchen.

Assuming that I don't get a lot of flys in the kitchen, how often should I be thinking of feeding the Flytrap? I already have a source of suitable food (wax worms over the internet).

And how often should the other 2 be feeding to be healthy (assuming everything else is ok)?

I bought a new house with a huge yard, we are currently in the middle of a drought. I can only run one hose at a time b/c there is not even enough pressure to make the sprinkler rotate itself?

Is there a cheap way I can do it myself?

Thanks in advance.

I have Banana Peppers and Jalapenio's in my garden for the first time ever. I placed a thick layer of compost down on top of the soil once they were planted. The compost consisted of 3-4 year old grass clippings. I also fertilized with a 3-stage fertilizer per the recommended amount. The leaves are starting to turn yellow on the LOWER part of the plant and falling off. HELP?
