I have seen many examples in garden centres of small lemon trees for example but they cost about $100!! Are they grafted from existing stock?
I have had success in getting small plants to grow from lemon pips for example but would they eventually flower and fruit?

I posted a question before regarding bugs and was able to find out what type of insects have been lerking on my balcony, thanks to one of the answers posted, which helped me investigate more.

See original question :

They are Pine Seed bugs, which explains a lot since there are two huge pine trees in front of my apartment building. I have searched online and have found no info on how to prevent these things from "visiting" my balcony and what can kill them and rid me of them permanently. I really want to make use of my balcony this year considering it is my first spring/summer in my new apartment, but i am terrified of these bugs. (LOL actually all bugs) Has any one had a problem with these types of bugs? Please help :)

I read that there should be at least 5-10 earthworms in every spadeful of dirt you shovel in your garden. When I checked in my garden, it was more like 2-3, so I feel like something's wrong.

The soil itself seems pretty well-conditioned. It's got more sand in it, so it breathes better than the usual clay soil found in my area. It holds moisture pretty well too.

I mixed in some decomposed cow manure into the soil so far, but have not amended it otherwise. I have a compost bin full of half-rotten compost, but it might not be ready until a while longer (say, 3-6 months).

There's a bait shop down the road where I could buy worms, but I'd rather try to figure a way to create the right conditions for them to live in. Healthy soil, I'm told, is full of worms.

My daughter wants a 6' chain link fence around her back garden. There is already a 3' one with 3' concrete posts. Please can anyone tell me the best, easiest and cheapest way of erecting the new fence. I've seen concrete and wooden posts, but was thinking something more like the metal post you see in parks. Any suggestions please?

I want to start a garden and possibly grow a couple of pumpkins. (I have a 2.5 year old that loves them). I've heard that growing pumpkins is difficult. I live in New England and I've also heard that it's easier here then in other parts of the country. Anyone have any advice on whether or not I should bother with it.

I was kust wondering what the best food for Bonsai is and how do you keep the trees small if you take a cutting etc do you trim the roots and prune the tree to stunt its growth?

Also if I take a cutting from my Bonsai do I need to seal the wound up with something?

I planted them all in pots and the taller ones (approx 23cm) the bottom leaves are going a very pale yellow.....am I doing something wrong or is this normal?
The soil is kept damp and when planting I used compost.

I love the rose and Sunflower. I love the rose because it comes in different colors and the Sunflower because it's just so pretty. How about you?

I thought that moths make mothballs from fibres they knaw through! But I've heard that mothballs are man-made, made to repel moths!

Ever since my neighbour put up a high, solid fence my lawn has become overtaken with moss. Having given up fighting a loosing battle against it, I am thinking of turning it into a feature, maybe a moss garden, or Japanese garden. The only other thing that is thriving at the moment is a Forsythia, but I'd like some ideas please. The fence is on the south west side of the garden with a large yew tree (neighbour's) to the south, and the house on the north west so not much sun on that strip.

I have an14 year old oak tree in my backyard that had a lot of new spring leaves (thank you 85 plus weather for 10 days). Anyhow we have had two nights of a hard freeze and the tree /leaves look pathetic, will the tree die, will the leaves come back when the weather warms up or will it be a sad sight all season? Thanks

I know the Hemlock plant is but is the tree also? If it is how bad? Would it kill you? Or a cat? Is it safe to plant in your garden?
