It has been raining the last few days, I also thought about trying to pull them out by the roots with the truck, but they are all about three feet from the house. How deep will the roots be, would that be dangerous?

Something that only needs 3-4 hours of sun a day, but will have some nice flowers on them. I live in the SF bay area if you need to know the climate.

My friend just recently gave me some vines of his wondering jew plant! Right now it's just sitting in a cup of water, it doesnt have any root. Can I plant it in some soil and let it grow? Or do I just keep it in the water til it grows a root? I have no clue.

Any help would be great!!

I moved into my condo two years ago. I love to garden. Unfortunately, the previous owners took the easy way and planted an ivy ground cover. I spent all of last summer digging it up. In just a few days, it would poke its ugly head up through the soil again, even in places that I was sure I had gotten it all. I have many lovely flowers and I am afraid that I will kill them if I try to spray weed killer. Does weed killer even work on ivy? Are there any other hints for ridding my garden of this "creeping" pest?

I just laid fresh sod and I'm wondering what the best watering routine is to make sure it takes root. I'm worried about over watering, so please also tell me the signs to watch out for that too.

We've just put in our early spring vegetables -- broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, onions and brussel sprouts. We've put chicken wire around the garden, but I am not satisfied that the rabbits won't be able to dig under the fence. What methods have people found that will keep rabbits and squirrels out of the vegetables?

I've read a lot about growing vegetables and herbs in pots, and most of what I read seems to suggest mixing my own "soilless" mix. What does that mean?

I use master nursery gardener's gold organic potting soil - is that any good? I am planning to plant tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, mint, basil, chives, rosemary, sage, and oregano.

Here's what I'd like to know:

Is the Gardener's Gold good enough for my purposes? Why or why not?
What does it mean that a soil is too "heavy"?
What does "soilless" mean?
Should I make my own mix?

Thanks so much

I've heard you can put an aspirin in the vase to help preserve roses, but I was wondering if there is anyway to save them permanently, like freezing them somehow. Is this possible ? Or any other ideas to help them last longer. Thanks so much !

What is the most effective time to water your lawn? I've heard either at night or in the morning, what time is the best? I live in Wisconson if that has any impact. Oh, and for how long?

Does it have to be level (even) with the rest of my lawn? It's about an inch or so thick and in some places it is higher than the lawn that the sod is laid next to -- I had to reset my sump pump pipe back down into the ground, cover it back up with dirt and laid the sod overtop which runs alongside my sidewalk, but -- it's not evenly level with the rest of the lawn. Should I just take up the sod and lay grass seeds, or lift the sod up, take out some dirt and relay the sod to try and make it level with the rest of my yard, or will it even itself out once it attaches to my lawn. Sorry I'm not very well educated on lawn and gardening. I do know I need to water it daily for at least two weeks. Thanks for all answers.

My stepmother wants Buttercups, but the way she described them is they have a trumpet - like yellow flower. I have been to a greenhouse and on the internet, but the flower they call Buttercup is a ground cover with tiny yellow flowers.

I live in the desert southwest, and have a mimosa tree. Some of the main branches have been kind of splitting apart on the outside for a couple of years. There are several round holes in the surface, and VERY small black insects crawling up and down. I don't know if they're ants, or termites, or what. They're too small to even see what they look like.

What do I do to help my tree?
