Garden & Landscape - January 2007

I live on the east coast of maryland and it hasnt gotten cold yet. We have these little flying black bugs that bite my mother and make her bleed. I dont see them until she picks them off. Does anyone know what they are or how to keep her from getting bit. They range in size from a needle to a pencil head. They dont bother anyone else i know.

I just bought a house and we found we have a peach tree. When we moved in we found it had beared very small fruit (apricot size). I have been told I may need to prune it back and I have also been told to get space from the two Crepe Mertles (sp?) that flank it. I am a novice gardner and could use some advice. Also when I should prune, I understand is important as how much I prune from the tree.

I was given part of an Angels Trumpet seed pod from one of my students. Anyone know how to get the seeds to germinate? (sticking them in dirt didn't seem to work). Also, how long do they take to germinate?

Oh, I do not have a large yard. I have seen those tall skinny pines, what are they? Any considerations with those?

Thanks

I have 4 round, 3 ft. high evergreen bushes in front of my house that have been there for more than 20 years. They are too 6" too high to see the window planters behind them. They are also out over the sidewalk. When is the best time to prune them, and how much can I cut them back and still have them green in the spring and summer? When we trim them back from the sidewalk a few inches, we just get brown ugly branches showing.

Do they just need an occasional water? Should the soil be wet?

If not native to Fl.....what are its origins and why are Floridians planting these trees.
Palms are not ecofriendly. They do not provide shade, do not attract birds what's the attraction other than making the area look tropical.

Okay, I've got worms coming in my house. Yes, it rained two nights ago and my house is pretty comfy compared to the cold weather outside, so I can't blame them for coming in.

But what can I do to get rid of the worms? Is there any particular thing i should spray in the yard? Or should I call pest control?

We don't plant trees for us, we plant them for the next generations. So whether it's a mature english oak, a pink dogwood, a Japanese maple, or crepe myrtle....what would make a beautiful centerpiece for a large piece of land?
