I don't remember the variety off hand but I have one of the bigger varieties of tomatoes growing in a large pot. The plant seems to be doing very well and is producing a good amount of tomatoes (none ripened yet). When we planted the plant, we did not cut off the bottom few branches and bury them to promote root growth, can I still do this? I have room in the pot to add soil if so, or I might re-pot to a larger pot. The bottom branches are pretty thick now so I didn't want to cut them off if it was not worth the extra root growth.

The plant is probably 2 1/2 feet tall and very full (growing in a tomato "cage").

Is there anything you need to do to a half whiskey barrel before planting flowers in it?
What I mean is...the smell of whiskey coming from a whiskey barrel is so strong, it seems like it would be toxic to the plants!
Does it affect them in any way?
Other than maybe making drunk plants?lol

The grass in my yard is very carpet like and thick. It takes longer to come in to green in the spring and browns more when it's dry. I live in central Ilinois. I noticed that some of my neighbors who have the same type of grass burn their yards in the spring? Does anyone know what type of grass this is and if I should burn it as they do?

because it absorbs moisture and contracts and expands in the weather I've heard of granite cracking along the fissures when this happens.

Our grass is starting to come back from the winter. We have dead patches in it. We bought "weed and feed" and seed. I know I can't do them both at the same time. Which one do I do first? I mowed the lawn short this morning and it is supposed to rain tomorrow.

My backyard slants a little bit, so one end is a foot or two higher than the other. I plan to build it in terraced segments so that I don't wind up with it really deep on the low end. I will use sand and a level to ensure that each bottom row paver is level and secure. The question is... should I start at the low end of the yard (that's what my gut instinct tells me) or should I start at the high end of the yard?

My neighbor says to use railroad ties but those might not fit with our look in the backyard. I was thinking more along the lines of some 2x6's that are pre-treated to prevent rotting. Will this affect the chemicals that enter the soil? Are they dangerous? Does anyone have any good links to help with the building and prep work for a new veggie garden?

I'm think of making four 4x4 squares for the garden. Any tips would be great.

Bought a Snapper 1 year ago and it's been in storage..... while in storage cats snapped the pull cord that starts the engine. What is a fair cost for this?

Or should I just buy a new Honda mower at Costco for $400?

hey all, I planted some sunflowers from the seed (I have never done this before) and after a few days of just misting the soil in my planter pot I've already got sprouts! now it's been about 5 days and their like a inch tall... is this normal? am I going to have to transplant them into a bigger pot soon? I know it's a little early to plant them, but I planted some corriander and dill and got impatient and start the sunflowers. my dill plant just started to sprout today (yay!) oh yeah and do you think that I could continue to grow them indoors because it's still kinda cold outside?
