We have a concrete patio area with a slight fall so that rainwater does not stand on it. However, a few weeks after cleaning green algae type growth appears and after a few months it requires jet washing again. The patio is in sunlight in the morning but shaded in the afternoon. The algae growth is worse underneath planters etc.

BESIDES picking them, is there a way to effectively get rid of crabgrass and clovers? please don't be stupid and say, just pull them. It just takes too much time and effort.

Should I chop up my plants and just add them back to the soil, should I compost them first and then add them to the soil? How should I best prepare my garden for next years garden in Montana?

I was looking on Yahoo! Groups for a plant and seed trader for the whole US, but couldnt find one. Do you know of any?

I started one myself, but if I can find one that has already been started Id rather just do that because I have no members right now! lol.

So if you know of a good Yahoo! Group that trades seeds and plants, please let me know!

In the mean time, if you want to join mine here is the link:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/plant_and_seed_trader/

If I dont have enough people join in the next month Ill shut it down, so I really hope someone else out there already has an established group!

My 90 gallon pond with plands and fish has up-ended for the second time. The first time was one year after it was put in and now again six months later. We leveled it and used sand to install according to instructions. It is an inground pond with a small waterfall.

I have alot of birdfeeders in our yard and sometimes the seed falls to the ground and then sprouts and then we have it growing right under the birdfeeders. Does anyone know how I can keep it from sprouting? I don't want to take the feeders down because they are near our windows and we enjoy watching the birds while they are eating. Can someone please help with this problem?

Further to my previous question looking for a plant called Samantha in remembrance of my best friend's daughter killed last week in a white water rafting accident in Thailand, I'm not having much luck, so am wondering whether there are any bulbs called "Samantha". It doesn't matter what kind they are as in daffodils, tulips etc., as long as they are called Samantha. UK only thanks.

I've seen in plant shops potted yuccas with very thick stems (as large as the pot, like 20-30 cm large) that got thinner at the top (not like the ones you usually see that are cilinder shape). Is that a different species or you can do it yourself?

Live in Bloomington, IL. First time growing pumpkins for 4 1/2 year old son. He's very excited. Have noticed some Powdery Mildew infecting his plants and it's killing them. How can I treat? Not interested in eating the plants if that helps.

I just purchased this plant like a week ago and its not doin good. I do not have a green thumb and asked for a very easy indoor plant to take care of. It has sunshine and I water it once a week. The long arms have little leaves that have dried up and the the things at the end that look like worms have turned brown...normal???

I would be very interested in providing a good home for your Hostas, Black-eyed Susans, Cannas,etc. At 56 have worked too hard and have not spent enough time 'smelling the roses". About 3 years ago I had reason to slow down and was "bitten" by the gardening bug and have developed a deep passion for it. . I am on a mission to populate my new garden with beautiful plants and flowers without going broke and before a progressive and ultimately disabling neurological illlness makes it difficult if not impossible.
