We planted a pumpkin patch and we've followed all the directions. Our plants are big and healthy looking, we water them everyday. I was told they need lots of water. There are tons of flower, but there are no pumpkins. Our neighbor has pumpkins the size of softballs. What did we do wrong? Thanks so much.

I have just bought a few rose bushes and was wondering how to prune them. They have some dead flowers on them and the stem were the dried up flowers are has turned brown (dead I guess) too. Do I just cut right under the brown part? I not real sure how and where to cut at.

Any help would be great! That for your time and information!
I really don't know alot about roses, but I think they are so pretty and I wanted to at their beauty to my gardens. So I would love any info on how to keep the beautiful and to continue to bloom.

Thank you!

Hey,

I recently moved to a house in which the lawn (purchased and installed as sheets of turf) is St. Augustine. It was perfect and green for a few weeks, but suddenly, it has developed yellow patches.

I live in Houston, and it has been one of the wettest summers on record. I've treated my lawn with Bug-B-Gone Max and Scotts Turf Fertilizer (Southern Lawns). We mow the lawn every 1-2 weeks to about 2 inches (it grows very quickly).

I suspect that fungus has something to do with this...

Can anyone please help me? If not, can you tell me someplace I can go to have the problem determined?

I was cutting this guy's lawn, and he had these white flowers that were along his fence. I asked him if could have some, and he said I could take them all if I wanted, he thought they were weeds. I guess there wild, because he certainly didn't put them there. I dug them out by the roots and put them in a couple places at my house, they are doing ok, but by next year i think they will great since there roots are big and I didn't cut them. They almost look like apple blossoms, there white and have a slight pink in them. They smell really sweet, and they are mostly 2 feet tall. They have bunches of flower on each branch, and they 5 petals. Any suggestions? What are these flowers?
ps. i don't want to waste another question, but have any of who ever grown fireweed, or had it? thanks.

The lettuce is called buttercrunch bibb. The seeds are also very small, like bird seeds. I just don't know if one seed will sprout a whole head of lettuce, or if I am supposed to put more seeds in one pot. Thanks!

Our neighbors apparently don't believe in blinds, and we put up a fence already, but we can still see way too much of each other :) What is a good tree to put up that will grow fairly tall without having awful roots spreading out everywhere? We have mostly clay soil, and this would be southern exposure. Thanks!

And if it does.. willl there be new blooms this season or does the pruning only benefit next year's growth?

I live in Upstate New York, which I believe is zone 5b. I'm pretty sure that means that my pineapple sage will not survive the winter outdoors. So my questions are 1, If I cover the outdoor plants with compost material such as fallen leaves, and pine branches, will they winter? 2) If I leave the plants in my garden until late September and then move them to the house, will they flower? Thanks

i put what I thought was a small Mimosa seedling in a pot and it grew like crazy. I found out it was really a weed. What are they? They now seem to be all over the place.

I have 7 window-boxes filled with perinneals. Lavender, lemon-balm, spearmint, aztec pearl verbena, toto black-eyed susan, and veronica. I know these are all flowers that spread and get "shrubby". I have two flowers planted in each 2-foot planter. I need to know how to winter them over. Do I simply cover them? Can I plant them in seperate buckets and put them in the basement? I want them to come back next year, but I have never planted perinneals in planters before. Help!

I live in an apartment, can we grow sunflowers in a large pot? How tall will they get? Also, will they get bloom over and over or are the seeds a one time deal?

thanks!
