Trees, Shrubs, "perennials", groundcovers, vines, grasses????
and if anybody can help me understand what a "perennial" is i would really appreciate it. It seems to be a very vague term, since many flowering shrubs could also be called "perennials" and shrubs could also be considered "groundcovers" as well, making "groundcover" a confusing term as well.

But I think when you are classifying plants you should divide them into their uses in a garden , right?

I am just curious, I have seen nurseries divide up their plant lists by Trees, Shrubs, and then "Perennials" and groundcovers and then of course annuals and vines, etc.
But my confusion is why they seperate "Perenials" from flowering shrubs. Because many of the thing they usually have listed under "Perenials" are looking like flowering shrubs to me.
Same confusion with groundcovers

I have tried stuff like "Preen" , but it never really worked very good and it was expensive too, so i never really put it down much. But I get so many weeds as well, which i have to go back and spray with round up or pull them.
My neighbor says she puts down the basic ingrediant called "Treflan" and spreads this small granular product over the areas in her beds and she does not ever get ANY weeds. She also says that it last for over a year.
Anybody know about this?

Last Spring I killed my mostly broadleaf weed lawn with Round up weed killer . And waited for 10 days for it to completely brown. Afterwards I put down fescue grass seed and starter fertilizer and lucky for me it rained every other day for atleast 2 weeks afterwards.
but to my disappointment half of the stuff that came up was it looked like crab or dallas grass (maybe dallas grass is a type of crab grass) . But anyway, I stupid me realized that i killed the existing weeds in my yard but not the crabgrass which was to come up in May and June. So , I was debating if I should have appled MSMA to kill the crabgrass in August. I did not because I thought that it was getting close to fall by then and it would go away soon enough
So I will try again this year. Can anybody telll me what I did wrong last year. Maybe I should not have done this project in the Spring and made sure I had put down crab grass preventer instead. But I did not know about that then. and done in fall

why is this?

Also could people who are real familiar with all this stuff, what are the different sprays people use in their garden?
I know: herbacides (24d and MSMA)
Insecticides (catelpillars, beetles, bugs)
Fungicides (for treating mold, mildew)
Ferlitilzers ( are liquid forms better?)
?

I live on a busy street and I was thinking about planting a hedgerow close to the road to restrict noise. Has anyone out there done this before? If so, did it work? What kind of hedges work best?

I planted around 200-300 tulip bulbs last fall in my back yard, mostly in areas that I have groundcover such as English ivy. I was wanting to know if I could pull these bulbs up after a few weeks when the bloom goes away and store them in a tupperware container until planting them again until the next fall.
I just really hate the way the foliage looks sticking up with no blooms anymore and turning yellowish.
Any advice or recommendations about this??

While driving along Interstate 5 in California, I saw several recently planted fruit tree orchards. This got me thinking...where are the trees grown in order to plant these orchards, and what do they look like? Are the trees planted very close together? Are these the same farms that supply fruit trees for Home Depot and other stores?

I have a tree that sends out shallow roots or runners that then grow to full size trees if given the chance. Can I prevent it from sending out the runners? And what is the best way to eliminate an already established offspring tree? Thank you!

I absolutely LOVE the smell of lilacs, but live in an apartment and have no back yard. Is there a miniature version of the bush that can be grown indoors in a container?
