It seems like all you ever get here (Zone 6) is some scrawny stuff the next year. We have 18 of them from this year's plant sale at school.

The leaves are thick and hearty. The flowers are clustered around the base of the leaves, close to the stem. The flowers have 4 petals and smell similar to a gardenia.

While visiting relatives at Easter in deep south Louisiana, I was given a beautiful Angel Trumpet plant that was growing profusely around their home. It has done very well all summer, here in Arkansas, multiplying and blooming okay...til now, Mid October and I have tons of georgous blooms! I don't want to lose this plant(tree?) I have heard that I can leave in the ground over winter, but I risk disease and root rot. True? Could I cut the plant back almost to the ground and mulch heavily? or should I dig the plant up? It is very large. Probably 5 feet tall with many spouts underneath. Thanks for the help.

I have several oak trees on my property. The roots of these trees send up numerous unsightly sprouts. Is there a way to control this or get rid of the sprouts? I've tried cutting them out, but they quickly grow back. I don't want to use poison, because it will kill the tree.

I recently read a tip to place wet newspapers on the soil and then put mulch on top. No weeds should come through. I plan to try it in the spring; just wondering if anyone has tried this.

It rains often where I live and I also have heavy clay soil. Wearing shoes or boots in the wet garden means tons of soil sticks to them and also causes soil compaction. However, walking barefoot in the garden does not cause this if the soil is not totally saturated.

I have found that working in the garden barefoot has made me a better gardener in that I can tend to weeding and harvesting quicker after it rains. To wear shoes, typically we must wait 2 to 3 days before entering the garden to accomplish anything, so weeds tend to grow out of control and produce gets overly mature.

There are still some tasks that cannot be done, for example, beans should never be touched when the plants are wet -- that is an old wives tale that is true. But, basically, barefoot gardening is a good thing. If you have never tried it, I recommend it some time.
