Garden & Landscape - January 2007

I recently purchased a home with approximately 9 acres of cleared land. There are two fairly steep areas, strenuous to walk up, but still grassy. Is a 60 inch cutting deck sufficient?

They are the lady finger variety same length as a normal eggplant but thin. The last one i thought was ripe was very large and had turned completely purple on the outside but was very green inside. How can you tell when they are ripe?

Last year, due to very rainy weather in the lower Great Lakes region, I got my garden in late (in mid-late June). Then, there were a couple of days with early frost in September. What does the Farmer's Almanac say for this region for this year?

Sorry for the many questions:

I bought some bulbs on sale for real cheap. I have 15 alliums and 5 grape hyacinth. It is unseasonally warm here, and the bulbs I planted LAST year (tulip and regular hyacinth) are ALREADY starting to come up.

Is it safe to plant the bulbs I bought outside right now? or could they die if snows finally come? (IF SO, would I have to wait till next year to see them?)

If the bulbs begin coming up too early, and it snows, should I leave the snow on them, or brush the snow off (I am going to keep the mulch on, since it freezes at night).

What do you think? OH, one last question: VERY IMPORTANT:

***The graoe hyacinth bulbs I just bought. They are already showing little sprouts of green on them.... safe to plant outside? Should I refridgerate them for a bit first?***

Please help! I'm new to the bulb side of gardening

I am a very busy woman and have little time for pruning and trimming but I like for my yard to look good and I don't want to use fake plants.

Thanks!

I'm going to hack it down, but I'm thinking in terms of getting it manageable for the long-term. I imagine tilling it, perhaps treating it for weeds somehow. Anything kind of systematic approach to such a task would be appreciated. That is, if there's something like "the three basics of gardening," I'd like to hear it. Thanks.
