We have a small Hydrangea plant (16``) high in a sunny, south facing garden near Aberdeen, Scotland. In six years it has flowered just once. It appears to be perfectly healthy, I have tried plant foods but it will not cooperate. Any ideas gratefully appreciated.
Mike.

The tree is in a large pot in a semi-basement which gets the morning sun. We have tried not to overwater, and have added some ericaceous compost and fertiliser to try to help it along.

I live in Maine and am taking a master gardeners class. They are going to give us worms to keep through the winter and then sell at a fair in the Spring. I have a very small house with no basement or garage, how can I do this?

I have a lucky bamboo at work (three stems, two twisted one straight) in a vase. I change the water every week using bottled water. They have very good roots but all the leaves are very pale almost white. I have moved it around in an attempt to try different light conditions but with no luck. All advise welcome!!!

The tag says it will get 3 feet mounds. WOW. I have no experience with this one either. I bought a 6" pot, with few to no blooms, but the stalk on this thing was fat (1/4 inch thick)!

I threw some pea gravel and lime at the bottom of the hole and backfilled with orginal gritty soil. Full sun front corner border situation.

Is there any thing I need to be watchful for here (other than two dogs with venomous p*ss)?

The label says Datura, and it bloomed inside my apartment a few times over the summer (white upright bells that withther the following day, the blossom is scented like ivory soap).

Just to confound things I pinched some Baptista (I think) seeds from a local nursery, which have just started to sprout (one for sure, maybe two).

Nothing would make me prouder than to father a Baptista plant.

So I'm willing to chop the Datura, if that would help.

Do you think I can keep both going over winter in the same pot?

Am I a fool to think a seedling of Baptista will make it to spring time with out grow lights?

One more additional complication about my lighting situation. It's a south facing window, but it has plastic opaque sheet on it (bought from Ikea) so I can enjoy the sunlight, but maintain some privacy. So far in my extermely limited experience of growing apartment plants (a few months with the Datura) nothing has died.

Suggestions, comments, rude noises? All are accepted here

I was just given 3 rose bushes in large pots. I would like to plant them in the yard instead of keeping them in the pots all winter. Our temps, right now, range from 80's to the 60's at night. Any help would be appreciated.

One that lives in cool or warm weather and takes full sun. It would be nice if it flowered also.

I live in Poplar Bluff, Mo. and I have some elephant ear that the leaves are from four feet to five feet tall. Steams are at least six feet tall. They are pulling out from the ground. I just wanted to know if it would be best to remove for the winter and replant next year. I need to know for sure that you remove them after the ferost. These ekephant ears are the biggest ones I've had in years and don't want to lose them. I sure do hope you can help me. Thank you!!!
