Garden & Landscape - July 2006

I want to dig in my back yard but I remember that I should call a phone number before doing that so that someone can come out and mark various lines (phone, cable, etc) so that I don't cut them.

I have some very old roses at my house and they have been running wild for years. Some of them are over 7 feet tall and have multiple, thick stalks coming out of the ground. They are flowering nicely, but becoming unruly (one has even merged with a wild rose somehow and now wild roses bloom early and the original roses bloom late!). What should I do to rein them back in? Can I do this in the middle of summer or do I need to wait? Help!

I stopped to listen to a garden speaker at our County Fair last week. I was late & didn't hear all he had to say, but he brought up the gardener's "Bible" several times. I over heard someone at the nursery say something about it too, more then once, but never paid attention before. All I know is it is suspost to be the best book on gardening. A must have for every serious gardener. I've checked at several book stores without luck. My neighbor told me that is not the right name, only the name everyone refers to it. But she didn't know the real name either. Does any one know the real name? I have got to have one. Thank You!

I have three rose plants in front of my apartment, one of them bloomed once. Then something stole the next bud it made, and since then it has not grown much.

I just learned that a few of my houseplants and garden plants are poisonous to dogs. My dog hasn't eaten anything yet, but she does occasionally eat some grass from the lawn, so I just want to make sure that she never decides to try the other plants.

I would also prefer it if the spray didn't hurt the plants. The poisonous plants are: peace lily, tomato plant, philodendron, aloe, and bird of paradise (and those are just the ones I can identify!). I would also like to eventually get hydrangeas, corn plant, Asian lily, Lily of the valley, and maybe calla lily.

Can anyone help me out? Thanks!

The acre is fenced in but from the street its boring and bland with a long driveway and a play yard off to the side (I have 2 small kids). My house sits right at the back of the land. Any suggestions on how to make this a functioning space for my family while retaining curb appeal?

I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
I can't tell whether the bones are pet remains or something else.

The situation: house was built in 1800's, on the low side of a hill, with immovable shelf rock between the back of house and hill, the house also has no gutters becuase of heavy snow seasons. Should we first attempt regrading, land around the house, add gutters, or add drainage around the house?

I have a well established clematis plant, will it hurt to grow tomatoes on either side of it since they need support too?

My garden is being overtaken by weeds this year. I am getting them out by the root, but they grow right back. Is there anything that can be done to prevent them?
