Garden & Landscape - August 2006

I have poison ivy (along with other freaking weeds) in my backyard. I have tried every weed killer known to mankind. It did not work.

I have decided (assuming no opposition) to dumping gasoline all over this ****. It will surely kill everything that I want to die. I have a river flowing through my backyard and do not want any ill environmental effects - what do I need to do to keep my gasoline killing spree from the groundwater system?

In my shed in the backyard, I have a wasp colony. First of all, how do I differentiate between a wasp and a bee. I am told that I should not worry about a bee colony.

If I indeed have a wasp colony on my hand, how do I get rid of it

OK, so a lot of people have been saying that you should trim some, most, or all of the leaves on a tomato plant once the tomatoes set. The main reason people give is so that the plant will only have to feed, water, and distribute nutrients to the fruit. BUT, don't the leaves ADD energy to the plant? Sure, they have to be kept wet and green and all that stuff, but they provide more to the plant than they take away, right?

We want to plant new plants near our front door which is under the eaves and faces north. We like lots of flowers. We don't want to go with succulents. And we want the plants to be fairly compact and no higher than 1 metre.

How would a Mid-North-Georgian (on the South Carolina Border) go about raising wild grapes? I love the taste of them (I eat them frequently back in the woods where I hunt), but they unfortunately only grow there, not in my backyard. Should I just take a seed from one of them, stick it in the ground and hope for the best, or is there a certain way and time to do it? I would appreciate your input. Thanks in advance.

Hydrangeas blue? I guess everyone has different soil, but I live in the midwest, USA

The nursery wants to sell me some scary sounding chemically thing that I would just as soon not add to the environment.

Also, does anyone know the name of the red hydrangea and does it require special care. I saw one that was very beautiful.

The pears on my tree are ripe and starting to fall off. There is so much fruit to deal with at once, I'm not sure what to do. It seems like if we pick the fruit ripe, the flesh goes mealy very soon. But if we pick them green, will they ever ripen? Anyone have a good suggestion? I'd be very grateful.

I know with many flowers like mums that if you dead head them, that is pick off the spent blooms and deny the plant from making seeds to reproduce itself that they will send up more blooms to make new seeds. But is it necessary to do it with Canna lilies? I have not dead headed them yet and they just keep pooping more and more flowers. The seeds evenually fall off. I would be thrilled if some of these seeds produced some new plants. Nothing so far. I live in New England so the rhizomes have to be dug up in the fall else they will die with the frost.

every winter I find dried hydrangeas in my yard even though I have scoured the neighborhood and can't find any in the summer. I also seem to find hydrangeas bushes or blosoms in most unusual places. Usually places that are associated with a decision I have to make or a conflict I feel.
