Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I have some peacocks and pheasants roaming free in my garden. The problem is that I like them and I like my birds too!!! So theres a torn between plants and birds!!!

I am wondering if somebody have any experience dealing with this same problem and if they got any solution, maybe a homemade repellent or a simple trick to avoid this from ocurring. Dont ask me to get rid of them since both things (gardening & Exotic birds) are things I really enjoy!

Thanks in advance to all!! Any answer has its own value!!!

My friend said that he was told that if he touched the leaves on a Lily, they would fall off and die. He said he tried this and they did indeed fall off. Is there any truth to this or is he crazy?!!

OK Spring is approaching and I love to be outside. So do my girls. Anyways we have noticed that we are getting stickers bad. Is there anything that we can use to kill the stickers and also feed our lawn to make it green. At a reasonable price.

The guy at the nursery says you need starter potatoes but the lady who has grown them for many years says all you need are regular, store-bought potatoes that have grown 'eyes'. Of course, I realize the nursery guy might have a motive in telling me I have to buy these special potatoes but maybe there is some advantage to them? Who out there in the land of Yahoo answers knows and can help me?

My garden is being taken over and I can't rake it out without disturbing my wild primroses. Is there such a thing as a selective weedkiller that won't harm the primroses or my oak tree.

I have an autistic child who is unable to go out to play(as he is an easy target for the local bullies)and now he can't play in his back garden as the fence is broken. The council say it is not their responsility as it is a dividing fence and not a perimeter one. My son has cut himself and got numerous splinters on many occasions and now my neighbour is unhappy as my child keep making attempts to climb the broken fence. Please help me if you can summer is just around the corner and he would love a safe area to play in. Thanks x

I live in Micigan and I know I should have planted them in November at the latest but I have about 30 bulbs that I'd like to enjoy! Should I plant them in several large pots and transplant them outdoors in late March when there is no danger of a thaw or just leave them in the pots and put them outdoors? I'd like to enjoy them still, I'm mad that I was too lazy to plant them in the fall like you are supposed to!
