I would feel pretty good if I could keep these 2 week old sprouts turn into mature plants, but I fear my indoor conditions won't do it for them.

I also fear putting them outside would kill them, since we have already experienced frosty mornings. Would it survive in a protected area?

I dont have a green house or anything fancy, but would love to hear some of your crazy ideas on this.

I have some more seeds for spring, so I am willing to be chancey with these fall upstarts.

Thoughts, comments, rude noises?

Am I adding peat to allow for better drainage, so it cuts the super water retentive capacity of clay?

Is it doing anything else in the meantime?

When I plant something new, I take all of the old soil, add twice as much peat, and a little bit of manure. I add lime if I am told the plant likes it.

I guess it's kind of like an art, like mixing mortar for brick laying.

I dig a whole as wide as I can, and try for twice as deep as the root of the new plant. I fill in with the ammended dirt, as much as needed so the stems of the plant are level with with the ground.

I never "mound' the plant with dirt. I study the slope of the existing soil and I think about where the water will flow for the roots. With that in mind, I place the root ball where I would like to see new growth.

Also, if I know in advance a plant needs great drainage, I fill the bottom of its hole with pea gravel.

Am I over doing anything, Underdoing something? Your comments are always appreciated.

She says that her hibiscus plant will grow better in the dark like in a basement.

I say that it will grow much better if you cover it with W2 forms.

Who is correct?

It grows right next to the ground, starts out like a rock shape, about the size of an apple, then when it blooms, it looks like....of all things....dog feces. Not just any dog feces, but a small pile, that someone took their fist, and smashed it. I know this sounds crazy, but I believe this to be some kind of fungus. I wouldn't be asking this, except I've seen four or five of these in my backyard,.... before, and after they've "bloomed". It starts out a light brown color, and when it opens up, it's a lovely brown.....just like dog doo-doo. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME IDENTIFY THIS?

I have a small white rose bush. It blooms only occassionally and has very few leaves. I remember something from my childhood about putting pickle juice on roses. Is this true or am I crazy?
