Garden & Landscape - April 2007

My neighbour has two 18 foot fir trees in his garden. Our gardens are only about 20 foot square and these trees are blocking out nearly all our sun. We are in UK.

is it true that used coffee grounds and crushed egg shells help out your vegetable and fruit gardens? and what does it do exactly?

I think there are a lot of broad leaf weeds like, clover, dandelions, henbit, and some other stuff, there are some pics of some below. The rest is a mixture of fescue in shaded areas and bermuda grass in sunny areas.

(btw, what is that type of weed in pic below called?)

i was thinking maybe either pre emergent now to prevent crabgrass , however, i am thinking maybe i will just skip that in order that i may seed and fertilize and try to get the grass growing stronger , than come back and apply a post emergent herbicide to ALL the weeds, broadleaf and crabgrass , etc.

which is better you think?

If i take a regular flower pot and plant seeds of a vegetable will it be able to grow as if I planted it in the ground?

Should this tree have already leafed out by now?

Everything has leafed out pretty good, but this hasnt yet. There are small little bud kind of things on the twigs , but nothing happening.

I already have an ivy(in the same room) for over 6 months and it is doing great. It is a different type, smaller leaves. I was just given this Green Royal Tee Ivy and it was nice and green when I got it. I repotted it in a pot just a bit bigger than the temp plastic it came in. I have watered it just like my other, but I have noticed the leaves turning brown, falling off, and it just seems to be drying out, becoming sort of brittle. I may have over watered it, thinking it was too dry, but I didn't drown it, I am sure. What should I do? Repot? It gets indirect/curtain filtered light as the direction stakes says. (curtains are sheers) Any advice would be great. Thanks!

It's now in our front garden and getting a little too big so want to move it to the back. Obviously don't want to kill it, so just wondered if anyone could tell me when best time to move it to avoid it dying.
