Garden & Landscape - October 2006

well i started a peach tree on a bet with a friend that it wouldn't grow (i won the bet) and i realized how stupid it was to start it this late in the season but i thought my friend was going to take it afterwords, lol well guess what didn't happen, could it live inside at 40 degree temps and lower (old farm house very drafty in my room)? the temps have been droping where i'm at, i've got it under a lamp,but it's just poked through and i'm worried that since it's soo new that it cant take the temps. would a plastic-wrap mini greenhouse work? i been wondering if anyone has tried making one, did it work or was the plastic too thin?any other info from people who have grown peach trees( or other trees) indoors on how to do anything with them would really be great. thanks for any and every bit of help anyone gives me. meg

Does any one know how they do that? You pass a nicely kept yard and the grass is cut in long lines, but they seem to alternate from a dark green to light green? Is the blade height different or do you mow on alternate weeks?

I just got a plot at a community garden and it is covered in weeds and the soil seems rocky. Where do I begin with the soil? I know I need to pick the weeds, but then do I just lay down a layer of new soil, pick out the rocks or what?
I live in LA so I figure I'll be able to actually grow some stuff out here even in the winter, so I need to know how to prepare my area.

I will start with indoor growing, and move outdoors when the season begins. Which flowers are hard to get ( mainly midwest ), and are a good flower to grow for profit. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

This animal is HUGE! I bought traps but can't get him or her to get in it. He seems to love to eat the Pentas and other plants. He is also digging a tunnel under the concrete patio which is causing other problems. HELP! I need to get rid of this thing before he finds a friend and starts making babies!!

I have built a gorgeous deck and cannot get a straight answer on sealing. I have used heartwood redwood and do not wish to lose the beauty of the wood. I have been told to use a tinted sealant and that seems ludicrous when I wish to retain the beauty o fthe wood. Second problem is prep work before sealing. I am open to suggestions.

I am fed up with squirels destroying all my bird feeders, I have recently purchased metal ones, but they chewed all the plastic covers & perches from the seed entrences. I feed the squrrels nuts but they bury most of them and start destroying new plants.

I can tolerate them, but they are a nuicense.

I live close to a wood and in some years I get overrun with the critters, so I have resoted to a cull.

Should I rototill now and apply herbicides? Should I do nothing and wait for Spring? Since I live in California, and don't have heavy winters, does the timing matter all that much?
