Garden & Landscape - May 2007

I have new honey locust trees that I planted last fall. They are only a little over 7 feet tall, not very mature at all. Should I cut off the new shoots on the trunk? How do I know how low down on trunk I should let new shoots grow, etc., or do I just cut off all new shoots?

It was called either white rock rose or red rock rose. It was a rock rose though but it was a bush i believe. Anyways I have never seen it anywhere and I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of it or knows where I could but one or find one in the wild. Thanks!

I think that plumerias are grown from cuttings and so I don't know what this huge "green bean" is.

I have a 50-60 ft. tree in the center of my back patio and onto it I am training various types of morning glories and moonflowers (evening glories).

As these start to come in and fill the trunk of the tree with their green heart-shaped leaves and multi-colored flowers I'm wondering what I should plant in the rest of the border around the tree.

The area will be partial sun (3 hours) / partial shade (4 hours) and the soil will be moderately dry and well drained.

I'm open to all range of suggestions from flowers to ferns, I'm just trying to figure out what would look best.

We just moved into a house and I want to plant flowers in the front in between the bushes... but it is facing away from the sun so the area is 100% shaded. If at all possible, I'd like to plant colorful flowers. Thanks for any and all advice!

Note: I'm not a fan of hostas...

... I don't want to kill them, but I don't want them living under there. Also, how should I keep them from coming back?

I followed instructions on the package for my lilies, tulips, and daffodils, measuring how deep and how far apart. BUT now they look so sparse! I thought maybe they would spread, but they didn't. How do people get the thick bunches of tulips and such? Do they plant the bulbs all in the same spot? Why do the instructions say they must be 6" apart? I don't get it.

last year my sister gave me a John F. Kennedy rose bush. I have many roses of all types and never had a problem. I went outside yesterday and it is all dried up. I think there is a little bit of green near the base, but I am afraid it's gone. I planted all my rose bushes the same way and this was no different. any ideas on what I did wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. This bush is special because my sister gave it to me for my b-day. I know she will be upset, but not angry with me. They are so expensive. Do you think I just replace and not say anything? This is kind of a lie of ommision, but I want her to think it lived. Am I wrong?

I have a small backyard and I live in a townhouse. I want to remove the grass from half of my backyard and lay patio stones. I am debating whether to do this myself or hire someone. My main worry is drainage - flooding my basement if I do it wrong.
Do I just remove the grass and lay the stones down? What are the steps? Not too difficult please.

I've heard this called many things but I still don't understand where I pinch them off at. I'm just starting to really try my hand at flower gardening and realize there's a lot more to it than I thought.

Thank you for your help!!!

Hello, just bought "ready to pick pepper" plant from Dobbies, and was looking for advice on when to actually pick them? I have one red pepper on the plant and 3 green. I presume the red one is ripe? and the green one is in its early stages? the red pepper is approx 2 inches in length?? can i leave it to grow longer or is it just a small type of peeper that will grow on plant. The label i have states "harvest" from may to october. Please can anyone provide any more information and also suggest a type of pepper plant i can grow that will produce much bigger peppers? Many thanks...
