Garden & Landscape - June 2007

How can I safely destroy the clover without killing my grass? I unfortunately do not have a green thumb, so I need some help.

Thanks

Parts of my yard are taken over...It's getting crazy..I dig them up, they come back. Any solutions? Or is this something I am going to have to deal with and mow over?

We don't have a lake or pond in our yard(we do have a little 5ft pond but that can't be it) and we have many more dragonflies this year . We strated a Bird and Butterfly garden last year and maybe that also attracts dragonflies . But I don't know for sure .
And what do dragonflies do ? What attracts them ? And do you know how many different varieties there are ?

I recently planted two heirloom tomato plants in 8 gallon pots from a gardening store. Planted in potting mix with some added granules which maintain moisture. Growing very well so far. Fastest I've seen tomatoes grow.

I should have gotten larger pots. I've read that the larger growing heirloom plants (indeterminate) need a larger growing space than smaller commercial plants (determinate) for best results. So I want to transfer the plants to containers of larger size. At **least** 15 gallons and tall so the roots have room to grow.

The 8 gallon pots I bought were sort of expensive, even thought they were on sale. So I'm looking for advice on what would be a cheap large sized container (15+ gallon) and where to buy.

I am moving into my first house this week, and I'm excited to start a garden. But, I'm worried that nothing will grow since it's already June. Is there anything I can plant right now?

(My garden site is partial shade, and I haven't tested the soil yet.)

Is it a problem when you have 3 and 4 stalks of corn coming from a single seed. Should I cut off the extra stalks? What causes this?

Any ideas for a vine that flowers that will grow well in the carolina/virginia mountains? Jasmine is a favorite, but will it grow in this area? Any ideas?

I have a lot of bumps in my yard and I was thinking of using a ground tamper to flatten them. Would that work or would I just be waisting my time. Thanks.

I just bought what the nursery called a "spice ginger plant." Does this mean the root is edible? The leaves are long (12 inches +), dark green and glossy but not very thick (compared to, say, orchids). There are no blooms at the moment but it does give off a nice spicy fragrance.

I need some ideas. I live in TX, wanting to plant something that will reach maybe 15 foot or so in height. Something along the lines of a crepe myrtle, although I was hoping for something that would stay green year around and flowering.

I have ivy growing on the side of my brick house. I have read that this can cause damage to the wall. I have also read that it is not true that ivy will damage a brick wall. What is the correct answer?

I'm only wanting to grow it because I think it looks so nice in October :o)
Realizing it's getting a little late in the season, I don't care how big the ears of corn are, just like the grown husks along with some sunflowers on the other side by fall.
anyway, what/how is the best way to plant it?
for ex. how many rows (at the very least)?
thx

I just bought the house and there's no tree at all in the back yard. It's a small yard and there's a little already landscaped area in the middle (previous owners had nice stuff and took it when they left)...it looks stupid without anything plated there. So I thought I'd plant a tree.

I really like birch trees. I like the sound the leaves make when the wind blows and I like the white bark. But my dad says it gets icky birch tree bugs of some sort. And I dislike bugs of most sorts. So what tree is similar to a birch tree? It is the east side of the house - if that matters.

THANKS!
