Garden & Landscape - August 2006

I got a red and white petunia for free from Lowes on Mother's Day, put it in a big planter in front of our deck. It's grown like crazy! It's overflowing from the pot. I've been deadheading the blooms, just like you're supposed to, and I drop the dead blooms back into the pot. Now I've got new petunias growing next to the original one, but they're that hot pink/purple-ish color. I've talked to my mom about it and she's never seen this happen before. She's a big flower nut, and has been planting and growing flowers for ages. I'm just curious if anyone else out there has ever had this happen to them.

I planted 1 tomato plant for my granddaughter that lives with me and it isn't growing very well or producing fruit. A friend told me that I should have planted 2 so they could cross pollenate. Is this true? Thank you for your answers.

My husband planted me a vegetable garden in our old driveway. The plants look healthy. I'm nervous because of the oil, gas, and antifreeze that must have been spilled there over the years. I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I don't want to get sick either.

I wanted to give our neighbor (whose husband passed away five months ago) a tree to plant in memorial of him. I was thinking of maybe something that bloomed around the February, March, or April time period, or maybe an evergreen after reading an earlier question regarding the significance of an evergreen tree. I did like the idea of decorating the grown tree for Christmas. The husband and wife are originally from ElSalvador, and that's where he both died and is buried. We live in Maryland, so we definitely get winter with significant snowfall here, so I would need something that is not tropical. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

What kinds of plants can I plant in a shady spot besides a hosta? I'd like something that blooms and is perennial. I live in NE Ohio.

I have a fuschia and an angel's trumpet that aren't doing so hot. I guess I should mention that I have a balck thumb. The fuschia is losing all of it's leaves and getting a little crispy. I have it hanging in partial sun and water it frequently as well as spritz it in the eveing with a spray bottle. The angel's trumpet is doing a little better, but it;s leaves are starting to yellow, and I'm not sure what's wrong with it. It's about 2 ft. high now and has never bloomed. Can anyone give me some advice or should I stick to cacti?
