Garden & Landscape - May 2007

Specifically I want to grow trees and shrubs that appeal to birds, butterflies and other wildlife. I need recommendations on what to plant (I live in Kansas) and any opinion as to if there would be a decent market for this type of specialty nursery.

I live in zone 5 and I would like to get a few small flowering evergreen shrubs. I don't want them to get any bigger than 3' in diameter. I would like to shape them but that is not an issue.

I just want flowers during the warm weather months and to keep some type of foliage during the winter season.

I have a few ideas but I am hoping to look into more.

PS. I have really got my eye on the scarlet wonder rhododendren but I cannot find anyone who sells it. I would love any leads to that.

thanks for anything.

Its is the size of a baseball, white, it has NO roots or anything like that, it has an onion smell too it, and when I cracked it open, it almost looked like snot came out of it. Ive lived in my home in rural NE for 4 yrs now, and nothing like this has EVER grown in my yard, nor have I planted anything like this, it is between a lilac bush and an old tree that was cut down about 1.5 yrs ago. Can anyone give me even a clue to what this might be?

If they would mow at the same height I would have no problem with it....I like them but this is a pet peeve of mine. Should I just ignore it since I dont want to come off as a jerk.

I just bought some azaleas and want to know how to care for them. Are they perennials or are they annuals? How big do they get? I am going to be planting them soon and would like any advise to get the best results from my plants.

I have several healthy strawberry plants this year. But every time I walk out to check them, the berries that were almost ripe have bites taken out of them. The area is fenced in, so I know it's not rabbits. I am pretty sure that the damage is caused by squirrels. But I also have a lot of birds around my house as well; I'm not sure if they could be responsible or not. I just wanted to know what to do about the squirrels or birds if they could be causing the problem. Any advice will be helpful.

Thanks.

A co-worker told me about a grass that when stepped on emits a lavendar like aroma. She said you see that grass in pictures where people are laying in it....But; she could not think of the name. Does anyone know what she was talking about?

I have no idea what this flower is called but it grows in some sort of a tree-shrub way. It has a very strong pleasant fragrance.

We live in the Mid-West if that makes a difference. We are growing pretty much a wide variety and it is a fairly large garden. We also have to pay for our water, so I don't want to over water and waste. With living in the mid-west we also have clay soil which does not dry out as quickly as sandy soils do. So can anyone give me a really GOOD AND HONEST ballpark figure? Thanks!

Well, hes 19 and hes ok but we were in a bamboo garden and he picked up a dead one and started trying to break it. Somehow he got hurt on his finger and elbow. It looks like a bunch of tiny fine little splinters and it made the area welp up like a bee sting. Again, hes ok and DONT SEND ME TREATMENTS. I was just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this.
