1. Half of my garden is INCREDIBLY shady and rarely gets direct sunlight; all that grow there are these odd ferns and fungi which I can't stand and have to keep trying to pull up. What can I put there instead?
2. During the winter, half of one of my rose plants snapped off! Will it be ok/what do I do? Do I really need to fertilize them again in spring?
3. What kind of light do sweet pea bushes need?

Where are you by the way?

I am in Tennessee and it seems business has not picked up for me yet or anybody else really either. And we DID have some very spring like weather all last week.

I have a balcony and it doesn't get much sunlight. I was wondering what types, if any, vegetables that do good in partial shade.

P.S. I live in Minnesota. Thanks!

I have look'd on numerous sites for this info, & most dont say anything about Lime kiling Vegetation.

I have 2 bags of this particular Brand & Type & even checked their website & found no answer for my ?

I have weeds & all kinds of Arizona Native types of weeds ~yes there's a difference. And yes, I want to get rid All of them.

Most of the stuff U buy at Home Depot or Lowe's, doesnt work on stuff here. It has some type of Salt or Sugar in it, & They Dont Kill Any Type of Weed, But Make them Grow!! Im tired of having to pull weeds all over our Acre & a Quarter Property.

So, we just happen to have this type of Lime lying around that needs to be used b4 we get anymore rain & it hardens to Cement Like Compound.

~the ??~

Will this Particular Lime Kill Weeds & UnWanted Vegetation or Not??

I love how morning glories look, and I want to find some kind of flowering plant that would look good in my daughters room. Her room has yellow walls, and the ceiling looks like clouds, so the color scheme is kind of blue and yellow- and we have different color butterflies hanging up. SO- I guess if you CAN'T grow morning glories or don't have any suggestions of HOW you'd do that......Let me know what you would suggest for houseplants. Gonna plant it in a red tin watering can that is sort of retro-

THANKS-

My neighbor has really pretty flowers and a lawn jockey, flamingos, etc. Little by little, I have been taking his lawn ornaments and uprooting his flowers and putting them in my yard. He's old and seenisle and can't see across the street to know. This weekend, the mailman put some of my mail in his mailbox by mistake. He came over to give it to me and noticed and he is really pissed. He wants me to give it back but I think they look better in my yard. He says he's not going to call the police and finds it somewhat comical that I admired his garden so much I would take from it. He was really pissed at first but he told me to just do whats right and make good.

I think I should keep it all because it looks much better in my yard and I have recieved numerous compliments on my garden. I think a nice gesture is to buy him a few savings bonds or gift certificate to Wal-Mart something. Since he's old, he will probably appreciate that. What do you think?

Why won't my orchids open? Is it too much water, not enough? Too much sun, not enough? The buds have been there for over two weeks but just won't open, is it something I'm doing wrong or not doing that I should? Appreciate help from anyone who knows or grows them.

My neighbour has two Ash trees growing against the boundary fence. I've been told that hammering half a doz copper nails into each tree will slowly kill them. Does anyone know if this is true or just an old wife's tail. Does anyone have any other suggestions for getting rid of them. Do not suggest that I ask my neighbour to get rid of them as he is quite unapproachable.

I bought a lemon tree sapling from Walmart, it's blooming all over the place, but, the leaves are turning yellow and falling off! The lime tree sapling and the orange tree sapling are doing fine, however. What could be the cause?
