Im getting married, and am planning for October 28th. Im in Mid-Michigan. I want to do outdoors, but cannot remember for sure if there are still leaves left that late or not? There is a large variety of trees, but I believe that Poplar (cottonwood) and Beech are more prevaliant in the area. Along with these bushy shrubby things..not decorative, but naturaly growing. Im hoping for leaves with color, or will the leaves be gone by then (or all brown...)

i have a supersnack sunflower that i planted this spring and has grown about 5 feet+ tall. It was just about to bloom when suddenly the entire head has been snipped off. Was it a squirrel? A mean neighbor? It's planted next to a fence, i live in an urban area. What predators are out there for sunflowers and what can i do to protect them?

I'm in favor of the blue grasses or other non flowering types, but I would like some names.

Besides feeding the Possums, rubber snakes, moth balls, Poss Off spray, home made sprays etc,(none of these worked) could this be the answer of detering them. Any snake or Possum experts out there?

My children are prospering and doing well...but I can't seem to keep a measily plant alive no matter what I do. Does anyone here know of any good websites for helpless plant growers such as myself. Indoor and outdoor. What does it mean when the leaves turn yellow? Too much water? Help!

I have fed all four queens magnesium and palm food but the brutal summer has taken it's toll again on these sub-tropical trees. How far up the tree can I go to trim off the fronds that are nearly all brown and some that are about 60% brown. Will I do any damage to the tree by trimming it now or should I wait for winter

Garderners and traditional farmers use this tool to dig holes of about 5 or 6 inches in diameter, to plant seedlings / saplings. Holding the two handles and partly using the weight of the tools itself, the user will scoop out neat lumps of dirt, leaving holes on the ground just the right size to put in the black plastic bags of seedling.

This is the first time I have grown yellow tomatoes, Cherry ones at that, and I really don't know how to tell if they are ripe. They seem to tast good when I pick them when they are sort of a yellow orange, but if I miss them they just seem to turn redder and still taste good. When I have bought them they have been more of a yellow but these don't seem to ever get there just go from green to that orange color.

We have several roses which all have rather a lot of odd eggs laid into the stems. I wonder if it could be some kind of sawfly (rose stem sawfly perhaps?!) as we've also had those tiny black and green caterpillars that stick their tails in the air when you prod them.

The eggs themselves seem to be laid in an ordered pattern of two back to back rows, laid into an open split on the woody stem, and are a dingy yellow.

Anyone know what these are and how to get rid of them without too many nasty chemicals?

My son has asked me to save the top of the pineapple so he can grow another one. I made sure I cut it at its base, with no fruit attached. So what do I do now? Being a bromilead, if the bottom leaved get wet, will it rot? Are there any additives I need to put into the water to aid rooting?
