Garden & Landscape - February 2007

I am trying to find plants that would grow well in wet areas. Our washing machine waters drains to a spot in our back yard, are there any plants that would be good to plant in this area.

I am trying to rid of weeds (manually, by hand) and am wondering if it is too late to throw seed down . I live outside of Tampa and have let my lawn go. Lots of Crabgrass and others. I want to save money by ridding most of the weeds by hand.
The lawn is patchy and the grass' root system is showing in many places. Is it too late to seed? If so, any suggestions?
My plan was to pull weeds. Plant seed and millorganite. Water as needed. And then, throw down some sort of weed preventer.
The lawn has to look good by late June, due to a prty we are throwing. Thanks for any help you can give.

Okay so my dad wants me to regrow our backyard which is in a horrible state after not being cared for properly for 6 years. There is grass already planted in it but it does not seem very healthy. How do I take that out so I can put in new grass? Also, do you recommend sod or just seeding in the grass? I have no clue about this....
Thank you~

The picture is above. As you can see I have Crepe Mrtyles not to far from the area beside the fence where I want to plant leyland cypress. I will plant them a five feet from the fence. I want to block my neighbors from seeing me on my deck .
Someone told me that if they are planted South from the Crepes that they will not really block the sun.

also anything good or bad about leyland cypress
how fast do they grow each year (especially their first year)

I took this at a Parade of Homes in Colorado, south of Denver. Don't know if it would normally live there or not, or if was just for show.

we rescued a dragon tree that hadn't been re-potted in years and its roots were all wrapped round a tiny pot. we cut the pot off it and repotted it in compost and soil in a big pot and since then the leaves have been going yellow. its in the living room which is quite warm and bright (maybe too warm??) I've given it plant tonic which is specifically for yellow leaves but its getting worse. Any ideas what I can do to revive it?

My neighbor, who always worked outside in his yard, is now confined to a dementia ward in the local nursing home. He still responds to plants, trees, leaves etc. I did take him some bare branches in water off my corkscrew willow tree which have now leafed out and he likes that. What else can I do? I'm thinking of taking small pots full of potting soil and helping him start seeds, (coleus comes to mind as they could be transplanted and used as houseplants.) Do you have any other ideas? Obviously we are limited on space (there is a large windowsill in his room). Could we grow any vegetables? Thank you for any suggestions.
