I know I should have caged or staked my tomato plant earlier, but it's now all grown and sprawling. It has several small tomatoes and is growing on top of my bush bean plants. I am basically using the bean plants as support to keep the tomatoes off the ground. The bean plants have served me well but are near the end of their productive time anyhow.

Anything you'd recommend at this point, or am I better off continuing to use the bean plants as a shelf that keeps the tomatoes off the ground? I'm hoping not to injure the tomato plant or ruin the tomatoes.

Thanks for any comments.

does anyone know if it's easy enough to begin an organic vegetable garden in your own back yard??

I have planted along the back of my yard about 2 years ago Leyland Cypress Trees. Within this time they have grown a good 3 feet or more since planted. These are the kinds of trees that form a barricade for privacy as they grow tall and closer together. I need advice...should I trim the new growth off to force bushiness as they have become taller and not wider OR should I leave them alone and they will widen on their own? Any care tips from you guys would be appreciated! Thanks :)

So I have two of these plants, the lady who sold them to me said they were called Colombos. I just bought them last week. I water them twice a week, as instructed. They were both fine this morning. I have no idea what happened but suddenly one of them just collapsed. Here are some pictures.

This is the healthy one.

I have a red hibiscus plant in my front yard, but everyday I see large gapping holes appearing on the leaves. I suspect that it’s the work of snails, but it could be anything. Any advice?

I've inherited a very overgrown garden. Bindwind, ivy, ground elder - you name it I seem to have got it. The garden is pretty large (about 1/3 of an acre) with lots of large flower beds and mature borders. I just don't know where to start! I've been too busy to do anything over the summer and now it just looks like a jungle. When's the best time to tackle it? Should I let it die back a bit over the autumn and try and get on top of it over the winter or is that a waste of time until next spring? I'd also be grateful for any tips on how do I go about starting a job like this. There are lots of beautiful mature shrubs and trees in the garden that I would like to save, so I don't want go down a "scorched earth" route and I'd like to avoid using vast quantities of herbicides etc.

The urls point to 2 photos of the plant one is of the leaves the other is of the flower at the top. The leaves alternate and exit the center of and help form the stalk. They are furled(rolled) as they exit and unrfurl after exiting. The leaves are about 20"(50cm) from tip to stalk and the whole plant grows to about 7' (2.13m). It produces "offspring" very easily apparently via root propogation. We began with a single stalk 2 years ago and now have 9 stalks and 2 more immature ones starting. The plant dies rapidly at the first temperature drop below 32 degrees F(0degC). It comes back about the end of April and flowers grow about mid-July after the plant has attained near full height.

I saw a spider on my patio screen on the inside that looked like a hobo spider. Now I'm afraid to go to sleep even though I killed it. Should I be afraid?
