I really don't know anything about lawn mowers and i'm trying to buy one online. I'd like a lawn mower that picks up the cutted grass. Thank you for your advice.

I would like to dress up by backyard with plenty of colorful flowers. I will start planting bulbs around November. Any suggestions for the most sturdy and long lasting annuals for plant hardiness zones 9 - 10?

I planted potatoes and I heard that they would produce flowers then the plant itself would die off and this would tell me they were ready for harvesting. My problem is I have seen no flowers, but the leafs are already starting to die. Is this a problem?

My father is a gardener. I help him sometimes, we go to rich people's houses and all day long we have to be in the hot sun, kind of treated like d*gs, actually worse( because nowadays many people treat their dogs like their kids). Sometimes we have to trim trees, and carry bunch of branches and loads on our backs , and for this reason we get Injured at times, sometimes extreme neck pain etc. Many times though, it's a great feeling you get by cutting grass, watering plants,...that's like the easy part but then there's other annoying, hard, and tiring, and dangerous things we have to do. So, I don't like garderning that much, unless it's my house cause my house just has a lawn and some plants and it's simple. But what i see is many people in TV make it seem like gardening is Fun, because all they do is work with little plants, plant little flowers or something and that's it( Example: Good morning America news show Gardening tips lady), when actually gardening is pretty hellish.

I will be moving in the very late fall/early winter. I'm taking most of my outdoor plants with me--roses, lilies, bulbs and other plants. I know how to move my roses and the bulbs, but what is the best substance to pack the lilies in for storage until I can replant them? I'll be staying in the same zone, but the move won't be till after the ground has frozen too much to safely transplant.

I have an indoor calla lily at my office and it has grown to about 1 1/2 feet tall. In the last week it has started to droop and the bloom is almost entirely green like the stalk. What is the next step I should take to prolong the existance of my plant? I am not much of a green thumb but would like to know how to make this one work, as it is the only pleasure I get from work.

I have plastic ponds with plants and circulation in them, is there any common household product that will clear the pond and not kill the plants or fish? The ponds are in a very sunny place that i cannot move opr shade anymore.

I want to spruce up my house with some greenery, but I have a brown thumb! I don't know anything about plants, so I need something that'll grow without too much knowledge or effort. I'd like something that'd grow indoors.

I live in North Texas zone 7 or 8. Fort Worth area. I am a seasoned gardner and have lots of luck outside but this year I want to save some of my herbs and grow them in the kitchen. Winter tomatoes and peppers would be nice too. We dont really have a winter but a few hard freezes that kill everything. My kitchen area has 3 windows where I want to put a large plant shelf and the exposures are West, North, and South. Will basil, oregano, chives and some veggies thrive there without full sun? What do you know are the best because of your experience? No links, please, just what worked for you....Thanks!
