We just planted an apricot tree in the backyard and were told it will do best if other fruit trees are planted near it. Do I need to plant another apricot tree or could I plant a peach or plum tree instead?

I have six blue bird boxes at my home in Connecticut. Each winter the boxes are taken over by a families of field mice that I clean out each spring. When I clean them they are pretty disgusting and smell like urine. Since the mice have started adopting the bird houses for their winter homes, I have had very few blue birds or other birds choosing to use the boxes. Does the use by the mice keep the birds away? Any suggestion on how to keep the mice out? Should I prop the boxes open for the winter so they are less attractive to the mice? Thanks

My monster aloe vera plant keeps collecting dust, and I always have to wash it off with the Clorox disinfecting wipes because it collects dust easily. I would like to use that Pledge to prevent it from collecting dust unless it will harm the plant.

Will the extended warm spell we've been experiencing in Pennsylvania this winter adversely affect the plants? In the past month I have seen forsythia blooming and crocus' and other spring bulbs starting to appear. Will they recover or I have lost the bulbs I've put in?

Many thanks for the information.

Hi a couple of years ago I moved house and the patio area was full of hundreds of self seeded tree saplings. I cut them off and treated with weed killer. It didn't kill them last year they started growing back.how can I kill them without taking up the patio as it is a very large area.

I want to put some pots around my garden which is mostly graveled and paved. The garden faces north/northeast, but has plenty of sunny spots. I don't want to only rely on bedding plants in the summer months, as I would like some colour and greenery all year round. Also any other tips for container gardening would be gratefully recieved as I'm a novice and not especially green-fingered!
Many thanks

I live in zone 9b and I'd like to add a four foot azalea hedge to my landscape. Dense leaves and multi-season blooming would be a plus.
