I cut one open, tasted it and found it to be as sweet as a store bought grapefruit. Are they good to eat or squeeze into grapefruit juice?

Was it just a different type of seed or were these pumpkins affected by the weather or something?

I laid some pine bark mulch down and sprinked it with some slow release food because I just planted a bunch of baby plants. About half I expect to transplant to a new location next Spring so maybe they wont even reap all the slow release benifits.

I don't have the balance numbers in front of me, but it was an all purpose fertilizer. I recall also it was ok for house plants. I'm not really read up on the slow release granular fertilizers, but I remembering hearing not go crazy with the stuff (for that matter, not to go crazy with watering) because plants should not be babied over the long haul. They need to be ready to survive the honest conditions of their environment. Since this was a late planting, and the soil is crap I did it anyway.

But, I read that Fall is when the plant roots really start exploring the dirt. I figured I would give them a reason to explore.

With other clients, I used a liquid salmon spray from "Tom's of Maine". Whats the difference between them?

We moved to a lovely house at the edge of some woods and have been inundated with all sorts of strange critters.
I am not squeemish but am puzzled by the bugs that I have been finding (mainly in the bathroom and downstairs loo)
They are very small and orangey in colour...but look similar to a prawn or crayfish!!
Have no wings..eight legs and looks like they have a sort of fanned tail end.
Anyone got any ideas at all what they might be?
Unfortunately got no photo's of them, as I flush them down the loo whenever I find them.

I have very bad clay soil in an area that is really too small to till with a rototiller. I just got some information about a liquid soil amendment that says it will break down the clay. It uses humic acid I think. it sounds to good to be true and is quite expensive, but if it really works I will sure buy it.

Anyone have any ideas for a good ground cover. I have a step hill that gets a lot of shade and cant be used for anything. I need something that I can plant or seed and forget about.

For the past two years I have had sucess with 1 peach tree and 1 nectarine, the fruit looks great and just before its ready to pick, the squirrels have a party, they don't leave me anything , not even the pits. Nothing seems to scare them away. They even do it while your watching.

Web sources differ in their description of width: some say 8ft, some 15-20 ft. I guess the width and height will vary depending on the region. More detail on the tree location: well-drained soil, exposed to cold winds and full sun. Thanks in advance.

Because of the Hostas and Junipers plants to the front of the house I am getting a lot of slugs and nails...which I don't like. I want to get rid of them the easiest way...such as spraying them with some kind of chemical that will kill them. Once I no longer have hostas and junipers I can reseed the yard and create a lawn which will make the space beautiful.

I have a small patio, with a concrete floor and planting area on 3 sides around the concrete (the other side is for our sliding door to go out). We don't have much but a few potted plants and a bbq grill. We will be selling our place so now I need to get the patio up to par with the rest of the property.

What kind of plants should I put in & furniture? It needs to look nice but also be done on a budget of less than $200.

Thank you!!!

I just got this plant last week, someone at my work was getting rid of it so I took it home. It is a beautifull plant, and healthy too, is there any good care tips (besides the usual watering and sunlight) so it stays that way? I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance.
