If I dug up my roma tomato plant now and placed it in a large planter pot indoors by a lot of windows, will it continue to make delicious tomatoes? does the plant naturallly die within one year?

I would like to grow my own healing plants. I have an aloe plant and like to expand and heal my own family with their scrapes, cuts, warts on daughter's foot, and other minor ouchies.

I have two poinsettia plants about 18 inches high which I have kept going since last Christmas. They look quite bushy,green and healthy but how do I get them to flower for this year and what temperature should I keep them in? Thank you.

Is anyone able to recommend some sort of hardy plants for the zone 9 area........am having a hard time keeping a lot of plants alive due to the extreme heat and soil conditions.

I currently have a few desert rose plants, a sage palm and some desert grass that IS still living.

Also any books or sites that you could recommend would be great

thanks in advance

I'm in UK by the way. Normally the bush only flowers in early spring (April/May) but here we are deep into autumn and there are yellow flowers appearing. I'm not complaining but isn't this somewhat strange?

Have tried homemade soap sprays, garlic and pepper spray (which amazingly almost killed some of my plants) to no effect. Can't seem to find a supplier of beneficial insects near me. Help!

There seems to be an infestation of them in my garden.
Can they be killed with ordinary insect spray?

We've got a very overgrown garden with long flower beds I've cleared one of them, but I can't get started on the others as I keep having to go over the old grown, pulling up another 300plus new shoots a week. How long will I have to do this before they give up, or should I put down any weed killer (I'ld rather not) and will this affect the plants in the bed we want to keep; a rose, caster oil plant and eucalyptus tree. Or are there ground cover plants we can put in at this time of year? Advice please?

Granted it was on very steep slope. I watered well first year. The soil was nothing special, and it was full sun, so I figured I would see these beautiful plants come around for many more years.

Year two, and only two (of five originals planted) came back. Year three... sadly none.

I loved these fellas, but can't figure out what went wrong. I sort of recall "goblin" winning some sort of award not too long ago for best plant.

Maybe I under watered them year 2, 3, 4 (although I think we had plenty of natural rain in year 2).

I also checked the web, and sometimes I came across comments like "these are short lived" plants.

I would love to try these guys again. Are their better (long lived) species now? I always fall in love with them at the garden centers when they bloom.

Can I try them next year? How do you suceed with yours?
