Garden & Landscape - May 2007

My old patio is not doing it for me anymore. We are putting a door from the master bedroom to the patio and will need to have steps built so I figure this is the time. I now have an ugly painted concrete pation with a bad slope (towards the house) and would like a stamped concrete patio, but cannot figure out where I find someone to do this work.

Thank you for any help or further information. I am at a loss!

My cucumber and squash plants in my vegetable garden has leaves that look too yellow. Does this mean I am watering them too much by watering them almost everyday? Or is it a mineral problem?
I want the leaves to look nice and green instead of yellowish like they are.
Thank you,
Perry in FL

I have a corn plant that is very beautiful but I noticed that it had some kind of dark brown worms infested in it. I want to kill the worms because if I don't eventually I know that it will kill my plant. How do I get rid of them without repotting as that will kill the plant too.

We have a filter and a pond vac. Doesn't make much difference.

I have several 8" pots with Gerbers facing north on the back porch. They did OK for a few days but are getting sadder and sadder. Can I save them? Do they just not do containers very well?

I'm making a vegetable garden and laying PVC pipes for a sprinkler and drip irrigation system. The soil is rather dense clay. Digging into it is difficult so I want to put the pipes at the minimum depth. This is in northern California near San Francisco, so the weather doesn't dip below freezing very often.

I live in a first floor apartment and there are trees outside my apartment. There is a sliding door that I can open to go to the patio near those trees. The thing is; I always found one or two spiders inside my apartment. I dont even know where did it come from? could it be from the tree? how to prevent this to happen again because I don't like spiders and I am kinda scared that it could bite me when I am sleeping or something.

I just moved into a new house and the lawn is in decent shape. There are some weeds and rough spots, but all in all, the turf is looking good so far. I'd like to begin a regimen of a fertilizer and anti-weed product. What are your recommendations? Thanks.

I'm moving so my mom, the forgetful gardener, will be taking care this year.

We typically plant hearty flowers (geraniums and zinias) that are tolerant and wont immediately die if someone forgets to WATER them. I want to move toward a new look with larger, many-petalled blooms-- think dahlias and gerbera daisies.

But the flowers I pick turn out not to be tolerant. Do you have any suggestions for me and my mom?

I heard from an older man that when the ears start pointing down then it is time to pick. He called it " dropping ears".

My back porch gets direct morning sunlight. Anything I've put out there has burned up. Now I want to try the Cosmos flower. Are their any suggestions for plants that will take direct sunlight?
