Garden & Landscape - October 2006

I have found seed packets (peas, dill, cantaloupe, swiss chard, cucumber, peppers, spinach) that date all the way to the early and mid seventies. I'm curious if they'll grow. Should I really waste my time?

I have an elkhorn which has produced spores. Can anyone give directions for growing these ferns from the spores ? Either this or suggest a web site that gives directions. I have tried various search engines but have only found descriptions of "fertile fonds" and where the spoes are located.

I have a peace palm , only 2 feet high. Was doing fine till I repotted it about 3 months ago. I'm afraid it's roots are rotting. It just looks wilted constantly. Do you think I can save it if I repot one of the healthiest sections. Would like to save it if at all possible since it was a gift to me when my husband passed away 4 years ago.

I have been living in my house for 21 years but slugs and snails have suddenly appeared all over the place. It is very damp but it has always been damp because it seems to rain all the time in Manchester UK. I am just wondering why they have suddenly appeared? A couple of years ago the neighbours planted a plant that grows over the fence and think they might be attracted and coming from there??? Is the best way to get rid of them salt? I have been using salt but it works for a short period of time, but then loads appear again.

I have several perennials (roses etc) in clay pots on a rooftop garden. How can I best protect them for the upcoming Canadian winter? Should I bring them indoors, or wrap them in heavy plastic and leave them outdoors, near the house for "warmth"? Or is there something else I could/should be doing?

Help! My husband arranged for three landscapers to work "on the side" doing some yard work for us. We asked what this will cost and they said to pay them what we think is fair. There are three guys and they are working about 3-4 hours, trimming trees, removing a dead tree (we call it a twig), removing weeds, and removing what they cut away from the trees, etc. My question is what is fair? They are doing a nice job and I don't want to be cheap.

I have daylilies by my garage, I know I used to mow them down at the farm but I am wondering if they will come back for me if I mow them this year. I live in Central IL and we have harsh winters. Please give my you expert advice.
PS I do not know the species but they are orange and I have 3 clumps of them in a bed about 6 foot by 3 foot.
Thanks in advance.
