Garden & Landscape - September 2006

The leaves are really dark green, fan like leaves. It is a good climbing tree for kids. It's branches are very long and hang out over the drive, the house, the street.

I have a ficus tree stump that I would like to use a base for an outdoor table. But I don't want the roots to continue to grow because they are near the foundation of my home. Is it possible for the tree stump to remain sturdy enough to be used as a table but at the same stop the spreading of the roots. Should I drill a hole in the tree stump and fill it up with some type of weed or root killer?

I live in northern New Jersey. For a very full, weed free lawn, what would be a good yearly schedule for me to follow for when to seed and when to use the weed and feed broken out by month of the year?

I am willing to seed several times a year as well as do the weed and feed several times a year as well.

Thanks!!

Do you HAVE to always dry out seeds before you plant them?
I have planted some sweet pepper seeds straight from the peppers and they are not sprouting.
Be kind, I have never planted anything before!

it bloomed once when I planted it, my son mowed it down and when the leaves came back, it won't bloom. It has been several months since it was cut down.The leaves have small brown spots, but otherwise looks healthy.

I have tried an expensive electric buzzing thing which does not seem to bother them any more and also put moth balls down the holes but that does not seem to have any effect on them.
Any other ideas, the lawn is a complete mess!

We like to spend time in the front garden but nothing seems to do well apart from a shade loving rockery plant that while nice to look at for a month or so is not what you would chose to have all over your garden. Does anyone have any suggestions for shade loving plants that are easy to maintain and will provide a bit of colour over the summer months through autumn.

Thanks for looking

It is a bush and was seen in flower in a Devon (UK) garden in August. I believe that it may be one of the pea family but its unusual upturned brush of stamens is striking.

I have nearly 75 giant liriope plants that boarder my foundation plantings in our front yard. They have been struggling with crown rot most of the summer. I have read all that i can find about what causes this problem, but no ideas or hope that i can save these plants. Has anyone used any fungicide that has helped with this disease? Not all of the plants are infected,and none of them have died yet. I am picking off the affected leaves and removing them from the area by throwing them in plastic bags in the garbage.Any suggestions?

I know it has to do with the seed pods, but where and when? I live in Northern Florida. I'd like to grow some, but since they're around, I may as well get seeds from the plants themselves.
Provide pictures if possible.

This morning, about 10 crows started crowing and jumping around the branches of my oak. Eventually the number of crows grew to 50 by the end of the day. I was thinking something was dead or dying in the tree, but I don't see anything. HELP!
