I have just lad turf, and you can obviously see the staggered joins and each individual turf.
Should I water this straight away with a lot of water?
And how long would it take to blend in and look like a whole lawn?

I bought a new house in Vermont a month ago. My problem is a very steep slope up to my neighbor's property. At the worst part, it is about seven feet high and as close to vertical as it could be - probably at least 75 degrees. Most of the slope is covered with growth - mostly grassy plants. There are a couple of big spots where it is steepest and highest where it has partly washed out, exposing rocky soil. How can I keep it from eroding further? I'd like to avoid the trouble and expense of getting a retaining wall built. My neighbor's driveway is near the top of the slope, and I don't want it damaged, even though I hase been told legally it would not be my problem. What kind of plants would hold the dirt, and would grow easily in steep rocky soil in Vermont?

Okay, this is my first garden. So I am learning everything as I write this. Things are growing amazingly well at my new house!
I planted sweet pea seeds and laid them along the front yard fence. It is about five feet high. The sweet peas have grown to be beautiful, extremely fragrant and everyone loves them.
BUT they are about eight feet high!
I am wondering if I cut them back about two feet or so will they keep blooming or will the think they are done for the season?

I work at a nursery, but we do not have sweet peas there. I called the Nursery I bought the seeds from and I got two different answers.
One person said they'd be fine...the other said not to do it.

I will probably risk it and use it as a learning experience but if any of you have had sweet peas before and know the answer...I would appreciate it.

I also looked them up in many books..but could not find anything about cutting them back.

I bought a lady's slipper orchid in March, It was in bloom and stayed in bloom for a long time. These was also a small shoot with a flower bud from the original plant. after the second blossom faded I cut it and waited for about a month before I divided the plants. right now both plants have small shoots coming out but they are both limp and look dry in spite of my daily spray of water. Will they survive?
