I have a space outside my window where a bush died. I want a perennial flowering bush that flowers late in the year, summer or fall, New England climate, semi shade. I will plant it myself, about 4 feet circumference for branches would be desired, up to two to three feet depth of initial root planting. Ideas?

There are lots of these trees all over the LA area right now. They tend to be tall, the blossums are over the entire tree, and are a mustard yellow, the leaves are a pale minty color, and the bark is rough with vertical ridges.

Oh, and don't you love the Jacarandas right now? So beautiful!

I found one yesterday and was going to keep it to find what it was and if it's a good or bad little bug. It escaped. I found it in bark mulsh that's been in the flower garden two years. The little bug looked like a drop of gold.

I ordered coarse mulch for $18/yard. I asked the yard material supplier if they carried wood chips and they didn't. Would it be cheaper to buy wood chips? Who sells and deliver wood chips? This is for 1/2 acre back yard that is not landscaped. (I just want cheap material)

We had a person offer ivy on the freecycle list for Seatlle. Ivy is a very big invasive weed problem here and should not be distrubuted. Shouldn't this type of giveaway be deemed inappropriate for freecycle?

SC, 8 acres total, 3 mowed weekly. Best advice on model that can handle weekly mowing of 3+ acres, flat, sandy. Present Deere can't take the strain, poor dear.

Thank you.

I bought some beautiful daisies at the store & transplanted into the ground out front w/Miracle-Gro potting soil,they seemed to be doing great, getting sun & water daily but in the last week or two I noticed that the beautiful green leaves all around the bottom are FULL OF HOLES,like bugs are eating away at them.My son siad it was caterpillar(he said he learned this in school, is this true?)Why are caterpillars eating my daisy leaves & how can I keep them or whatever other bugs or insects are doing this away from my flowers?I have other flowers planted in this area as well-marigolds, petunias,sunflowers,convolvulus and have not noticed holes in the leaves but the daisy leaves are FULL of holes,I mean the holiest looking leaves I have ever seen,do I pull these leaves off? Also,when a daisy flower dies do I pull it off & will a new one grow(like with marigolds & petunias)or are they just a one time thing? Please help,this is my first year planting daisies & I love them & want them 2 last

I am looking to replace 4 boxwood shrubs that are in the back of my flower bed. The area is part shade and I need the plant to be taller than the plants that are towards the front of my flower bed. So...I thought 3 feet would be good. The area isn't very big so whatever I plant cannot be too bushy. Any suggestions?

I recently started 2 gardens, one in my backyard(tomatoes,broccoli rabe, lettuce) and one around a tree in front of house with flowers(marigolds, coleus, petunias, daisies).Before starting each garden I dug up & weeded the ENTIRE erea until nothing was left but dirt,which I then raked up and added miracle-gro soil to the top (went through 3 HUGE BAGS),then I transplanted my flowers & vegetables.A few days ago I noticed a small plant growing near the tomatoes which reminded me of a pic of a marijuana leaf I had said in high school but it was green & red, three leaves, pointy jagged edges, kinda cool looking so I watered it & it is getting bigger, then I noticed the same small plant now growing in my flower garden in fron of house. IS this poison ivy or could it be some wildflower?It looks pretty cool, I thought maybe it sprouted from seeds I had planted last year but now I'm wondering should I pull them up,does it sound like poison?Dark maroon & green-3 leaves,points on top-jagged edges

I'm in southern California and have a bed that's next to the house with poor drainage, therefore its quite boggy. What plants should I place there?

It came with 1 quart of oil, and I poured just a little in it, and it shows full on the dipstick.

So I'm wondering just how much does it hold, I don't want to run it on too little oil, and I don't want to put too much in.

My cherry tomato plant is only about 9 inches high, and already has three blossoms on it. My roma tomato plant is about 14 inches high and also has three blossoms on it.

Is it too soon for them to blossom? Should I pinch off the blossoms until the plants have gotten larger?
