i had a 10foot conifer hedge about 48foot long. Lush green and healthy. I have just had a gardener in to cut 3-4 foot off the top and trim sides. Well, they have been cut right back all over, now see through, and are just brown dead dusty leaf things. Has any idea if these will recover. They look really bad no green at all.

I have a rather small backyard, so trees will not do. Basically anything that doesn't look ugly, lasts all year long in the heat and doesn't make a mess would be great.

I planted a Hughes Junniper under my Canada Red Cherry tree. The nursery where I bought it told me it would grow to be approx. 5 ft by 7 ft. It is presently 14 ft by 21 ft. I want to prune it back about 2 ft all the way around. As you can imagine it is beginning to encroach on some of my other plants. I don't want to kill it. Before I start, does anyone have any advice for the best method of accomplishing this pruning successfully.

I have always wanted a Jade plant, first one I got had a small batch of four, which I very quickly killed off two of the sprouts, and slowly the other two. I realize now I over watered them. I was given a rather large plant, well, a foot high at Christmas, and I put it in a window, because the pot was larger than my window sill, I anchored it there so it would get lots of sunlight. I pulled it down yesterday because it has now grown above my window frame, it's now almost a foot and a half, well on the side facing out to the window, I had no idea it was growing very huge on that side! I thought it wasn't growing much because on the side facing inside, very little was happening. My only worry is this, there are little tiny white spots on the petals facing outside. Are these alright? I wiped a few off, but then stopped incase I should leave them alone. It's also tipping a bit, turning the barer side towards the sun for another half year should help balance this... right?

My Stepfather has offered me some Water Lilies from his garden pond so that I can transplant them into a lake we have recently taken on as a fishing business. I am worried that the Lilies are in full bloom and wondered if now is a good time to move them, or if not when the ideal time would be. Having checked the Internet it doesn't seem to make the time of year very clear.

I planted 2 lavender plants in my garden this spring. I believe they are getting enough sun, but perhaps I am giving them too much water. The foilage looks nice and healthy, but there is no sign of any blooms. I believe the blooms are suppose to be purple.
Any ideas on what I may be doing wrong?
