Garden & Landscape - April 2007

This is my first time growing them and I want to do it organically if possible! Also, how often should I be feeding them? The largest is now about 7 inches tall. Thanks.

I have never had stickers before, but this year, they are everywhere. What caused them to all of the sudden appear and how do you get rid of them?

My hosta's were beautiful due to the 70 & 80 temps we had in the middle and end of March. However, the temps dropped back down to the 20's and they all wilted and died. Do I need to trim the dead stuff off in order for them to come back, and better yet, WILL they come back? And my Japanese Maple leaf's also turned dark. Will these also come back or will the tree be leafless this summer?

I received tulips and mums for Easter...I'd love to plant them, but I thought bulbs had to go into the ground in Fall??? Can I plant the mums now before they die? And if I do have to wait until fall, do i need to continue to water these things long after they are done blooming to keep them alive and ready to plant in Fall? No experience with perennials or bulbs. I only know how to care for annuals!!!

My mom bought it at Wal-Mart had no label on it. Instructions say to keep it evenly moist and in bright light, and it came from a nursery in Carthage, MO called FGH, Inc. Picture of this plant can be seen at: http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n34/aetreat/purpleplant.jpg

I found a box with a ton of old bulbs and a box of seeds (the generic impatiens seeds from Home Depot). It's been about 5 years since those were planted. Should I throw them in the trash, or throw them in the ground? They were in a cool, dark place for this amount of time...

I'm definitely no green thumb...

I noticed that when I cut a bush down to almost nothing last year (a stump), trying to kill it, it came back and actually looks good now. I would like to do that with other bushes around the yard. Can this be done with most decorative shrubs or is there a good chance that I will actually end up killing them?
Thanks!

I used to live up North on east coast. So I don't know much about sw Florida. Can veggie plants be grown sucessfully outdoors (say like in Cape Coral), or should they be done in large pots and kept by windows under shelter? Would too many bugs or the bad winds or downpours destroy the veggie plants if they were done outdoors? I don't want to look like an idiot doing vegetable plants outdoors around here if it really is'nt possible to keep them alive well out there. Vegetables like: tomatoes, peppers, yellow squash and eggplant.

My grass is in sorry shape this season....I am thinking the culprit may be grubs. Is there a fool proof way to irradicate them? I live in Southern Ohio.

Here a road, there a bridge, then a flyover, a high rise and so... Trees in our Garden City are paying the price for infrastructure projects that go by varied names.Some are crudely pruned,some are simply chopped.
Should our green resources pay for our urban needs ???

I am in New Jersey and have two dwarf citrus trees (one Washington Navel Orange, and the other a Dancy Tangerine tree) and I am not going to blow over 100$ on a grow light. The trees themselfs coast me over 100$. Anyone know of any alternatives to grow lights? Rite now I have a flourecent light over the two of them, very close to the top of the trees, the trees are only 2 feet tall and are 3 years old and have yet to bloom or bear fruit. I am hoping to have them bloom as soon as possible and I think the problem may be due to the fact that they are'nt getting enough light. They have been in sun for most of their lifes and I just recently , a week ago, moved them to the flourecent light. Please, any alternatives are welcome! Thanks in advance!

I know this sounds a bit strange, but I would rather relocate them outside than destroy them. So far, I've been removing them (cockroaches) one by one using a glass and cover...are there some more efficient ways to relocate them?
