I made the mistake of planting mixed "perennial garden" and "daisy garden" seed packs in an area that I cleared out this winter. Most weeds (I think) I have been able to identify, and I am faithfully watering and caring for the remaining plants. However, there is one that I am afraid may be a weed, it's growing fairly large, right now it's about 15". The stem has narrow vertical 'ridges' on it , I counted five around. The leaves are fairly large, about 4-5". I scanned a leaf, how do I post a picture? If anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it!

The root ball size is 14 inches and maybe 4-5 inches are sticking out of the ground. I put dirt all around it to cover and mulched it. Should I be ok?

1) order and pay for a device that sucks in all the mosquitos from your backyard

2) Find a healthy bat, to keep in your backyard to feast on mosquitos, to save money?

3) Painstakely wear a lot of 'Deet' Off and shower it off before goin to bed.

4) Your other suggestion & why?

I moved into a home almost 1 year ago. There is a plant next to my door that I was told was a hydrangea bush. It still has not produced any flowers. Why? Is there something I can do to help it flower?

My neighbor has said he doesn't care about his yard, so he's unlikely to do anything to treat it. He also lets the dandelions go to seed, and mows without a bag. Our yards are the only ones in the neighborhood that don't use a chemical service throughout the year. I'm willing to use Round-Up and start all over, but is there any point if the neighbor doesn't do anything? I'd prefer to stay organic if possible.

If you can, what depth of topsoil/soil do you need and are there any other considerations we need to take into account?

Thanks for your help!

This hummingbird has a black head and a white stripe around his throat. I call him Bully because when the other hummers come to the feeder he literally flies into them and bonks them. He ran off this really pretty hummer with a red throat that I liked alot too. He seems to think this is HIS feeder. Is this normal behavior? I would like to see the other birds too. Is "Bully" just a psycho hummingbird or are they naturally territorial?

Should I hang other feeders? Would that help?

i've decided to plant a garden, its actually my first time doing it alone. I live in Illinois and I plan to grow lettuce, tomatoes, carrotts and strawberries. I was told that is you grab a fist of dirt and is breaks apart when you let is go it meant it was good soil to plant in. well i did that and it kinda klumped together. now I know this is bad since the plants wont be able to grow right. my question is what to i do to make is more loose or not as dry.

I was looking at 1800flowers.com, I don't know what to get. I need a plant that does not need a lot of sunlight and grows well indoors. Her office is next to a window however it's on 5th avenue in manhattan and a lot of buildings block sunlight.
