I bought an orchid plant a little over a month ago. It had three blossoms, now two more have opened but the first three are all wilty and dying. Is that normal or should they have lasted longer? i have it in a big chinese orchid vase that is probably 2 gallon, i put it in the sink and add pour a liter or two of water over it about once a week or so, have i not been watering it enough or the right way?

My NE corner of the house is 6 inches lower than the NW corner. I am told this a severe slope. It is a 75 year old house in the Chicago area which has a clay soil. The foundation is of concrete block. I am told it did not settle 6 inches overnight, however I am told that a 35 feet Dutch Elm tree may be the culprit. It is located on the NE corner only 14 1/2 feet from my foundation. Should I cut down the tree or is there an easy way to irrigate the tree ? Would cutting down the tree make matters worse ?

Something for a window box, or in a nice flower bed that will come back year after year. Thanks!

I live in North Texas around the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I can't get any flowers to grow good. Either they need shade but it's too hot or they need sun but our yard is kind of shaded. What is a good flower that will live and preferably are annuals.

I have several pepper plants and since I live in NY, I thought I was done for the season. I have noticed that there are many more "baby" peppers starting. Should I expect them to fully grow? What can I do to help them along?

Recently planted 8 foot acacia saligna which seems unhappy. Haven't figured out watering schedules. It is putting out new leaves, but they turn brown at the tips. Leaves aren't falling off, just turning brown at the tips. Tried slow deep watering. Now trying less frequent water. Have heavy clay soil. Would appreciate any help.

I am an older single parent with two kids, not much income and about 50 trees half of which are infested. The town spray painted 27 of my trees to indicate that I must remove them.

They are lodgepole pine so they have no reachable branches. They are maybe three stories high with some green needled branches at the very top. I can't afford to pay for a tree service. I have never used a chainsaw but I am handy with regular saws. I can maybe afford $500 which could cover the cost to remove the trees near the house and to pay to rent a mulcher and chainsaw. My thinking is once the trees are down, it will be easy, but I'm a bit afraid of cutting them down. I'm not very strong, but I could maybe lift weights all winter and do the job in the spring.

The other problem is that I rent out my house and live two hours away, so it isn't like I can chop down a tree a day. I have no idea how long it takes a novice to chop 27 trees and how I can protect myself from injury. Help!!!

Plastic sheeting..I have heard both on job sites and have asked the person to pronounce it again and they did. Next I asked "Are you sure?" with a smile and waited for a answer and I am still waiting.......List your source please. I am not sure if I am spelling it correctly either. I just know I have heard the word over and over. Good Luck!
