Garden & Landscape - August 2006

We had a torrential downpour earlier this week. I skipped watering for a day but then began again. The plants are yellowing & drooping. Is it possible to overwater & if so, how do I make this right?

They have been in the pots for about 2 months and give resistance when I pull on them; but they haven't gotten any new growth that I can see. The few leaves on them are still green, though. I am in southern middle Tennessee and I'd like to plant them in my yard but wonder if I should wait until they show new growth. Also they are small and I'm afraid the MANY wild rabbits that live in my yard will eat them as they did to my phlox transplants earlier in the summer. I have them in partial shade on my covered porch currently and water them thoroughly about every other day. Thanks!

When should I transplant into new soil? We have a couple of plants at work that, according to co-workers who have been there for years, have been in the same soil as long as they can remember and they aren't doing too well. Is it time for new soil?

I'm new to tucson AZ I found out the name of th bright red and orange bushes(red bird of paradise) but am still puzzled about a med pink(bright) bush and a white bush ( they are both tall about 6 ft or so aprox) I like bushes and flowers but besides the cacti, am puzzled as to the other native plants as i am previously a buckeye, and part hoosier and not used to desert landscape, i've also seen a little bright orange flower that grows close to the ground it has a almost tublar bloom on it, Any help would be appreciated.

Obviously, i need to have the windows and door open in hot weather, but do i get an old net curtain accross the door frame? It's going to look silly!!

I know that many people, myself included love to have butterflies in the garden, but i would just like them to stay out of the greenhouse! They are laying eggs on my crops, and then the resulting caterpillars are eating them! I HATE hand picking them off the leaves - I hate the feel of their wee soft bodies!! Ugh! This IS a serious question!

I have tried using the fertilizer with weed killer in the spring. Earlier this week, I used a spray. However, it rained right after I sprayed and the crabgrass now appears as healthy as ever. It's very frustrating, because it grows so fast that even mowing once a week isn't enough, and the lawn just looks terrible most of the time...
