Garden & Landscape - June 2007

I had a tree removed in my back yard and its a perfect spot for a fruit tree. I will use a lemon tree most often and they grow like "weeds" in this part of Texas. What do you prefer?

I live in zone 8 and my tomatoe plants are in 5 gallon pails, sitting on the patio. Can it be too much sun, for these guys ? they get like 7 or 8 hours of direct sun light and they alwayS look thirsty. Should I move them, so they get more of the morning sun and less of the afternoon sun ? Any opinions out there. thanks in advance.

I want to plant some flowers around a big maple tree I have which has a lot of shade. I live in the northeast so I would need something that could survive the cold and come back every year. Any suggestions?

A couple of years ago a wild grape showed up in my yard. The vine was pretty big last season and is huge this season, but It hasn't set fruit yet. This year there are tiny chartreuse clusters and I'm wondering if this is the start of grapes.

I've tried diomatacious earth and leaving pieces of raw potatoe around certain plants and pick up the pill bugs several times a day. But they and slugs n sails manage to chow down and destroy my plants during the night. I've tried wet news papers rolled up. I want them dead now no messing around. What can I put out to kill them. Oh, I used Seven dust already, but they crawl through that. I don't get it.

I was looking for a homemade remedy to keep the bad insects away from my vegetable plants. I noticed some aphids on my tomatoes, and the ladybugs can't seem to eat them fast enough.
I saw something on TV once made with hot peppers blended with other stuff, but I can't remember. I'd like to stay organic and food-safe without having to buy a pesticide (don't want to harm the ladybugs-just repel the "bad guys").

I have a standard self-propelled mower with bag. Recently I've just been mowing with the "trap door" in the back shut and no bag.

Will this damage my lawn? Does it matter for this type of grass in particular?

I have some small climbing roses in front on my home that seem to be gather a white type of dust making them wilt. It doesnt seems to be affecting any hybrid teas located next to them. This rose is pink with many very small blooms, and my neighbor says it has been there for years and may be an heirloom rose not really sure. Anyone know what this may be?

I'm thinking about getting one. Are they worth it? The limited amount I've used one has not been too good but I didn't know what I was doing. Any suggestions for good brands. Don't want to spend more than about 100 dollars max. Thank you.

Due to some very high winds yesterday (>50 mph) our young oak tree snapped off about 2 feet off the ground. It was about 10 feet tall before it snapped off. The trunk that is left looks healthy and is about 3 inches in diameter but all the branches were on the part that snapped off. Will this tree "come back" and keep growing? We like the location and hate to give up because it was a very nice tree and fairly expensive. Will it continue to grow and eventually leaf out again?

A few months ago I bought a white datura or Horn of Plenty, Devil's Horn, or Thornapple. We live in Houston Texas and we have had loads of rain lately. Yesterday it looked dead flowers and leaves the only thing still alive were the spiny seed pods. I ended up digging it up and put it back in it original pot. I dont think it will be comeing back. But with the seed pods still busting and spreading seed I want to know what happened so I don't make the same mistake next year. And does anybody have any tips on the best way to handle these seeds?

I have a strawberry bed that was planted last year and weeds have taken over horribly. Thistles, tiny clover like things and grass. Is there any chemical that is safe to use on strawberries. If so, what...and when to apply? Thanks.

I have a large strawberry bed that I put in new last season. This year for some reason, the weeds came in like I've never seen before. I want to transplant as many of the plants that survive to a spot that has been kept more weed free. Here in Minnesota, the first frost usually comes in mid September. When would be the best time to transplant for greatest survival? Now or later?
