Garden & Landscape - July 2007

We have a Japanese Lace Maple tree, and its condition has been declining for some time. It has been watered, but we havent really fertilized it. The leaves have turned brown and drooped along with the branches. The lack of fertilizer I think may not be the problem? There is a condition too that leaves turn brown because of a chlorodic disfucntion. Right now, there isnt much telling whats wrong.

Any help is greatly appreciated. The rose itself is pinkish in color and has almost an antiqued look to it (if that makes any sense at all). Below is the closest picture that I've found...

I have a lily(one of the fragrant ones) that's planted with some borage but the borage plants have gotten too big and crowding the lily. There are two flower buds already, so is it going to kill the lily if I move it some where else?

I have zucchini and yellow crookneck squash in my garden. So far I have managed to keep everything organic. However, I have recently discovered a black spore that is gathering on my flowers and stems. The fungus looks like dozens of black headed straight pins. There are also powdery spots on the leaves, and some leaves are yellowing, wilting, and dying. I also have three watermelon plants, as well as a cantelope. Are the fungi dangerous to the other "squash" type plants? Do I need to remove the summer squash plants, or can they be treated? I prefer to use an organic method, however, I am not adverse to trying whatever I have to in order to save my plants. Thanks fellow gardeners!

last night, a neighbors tree fell across our yard, knocking out a power line and starting an electrical fire. the electric company came (as well as the firefighters) and cut down a lot of the tree, most of which landed in my yard. they left at about 1030 pm- will they send someone out to clean up the tree, or is that our job?

now that most peoples lives have become more sedentary, shouldnt we encourage people to exercise more by creating outdoor running tracks and little mini-parks to exercise in?

by minipark, i mean something like a landscaped park only scaled down so you can dot them around all over a large city so people have one to go to that theyre no more than a mile away from.

they could incorporate a running track for the fit &or energetic...but also have a boundary that older& less energetic people [and pet owners?] can use as a "strolling park" with beautiful planted areas.

For the first time, I own a garden!! So Im pretty much a novice. I have a flower bed, full of shrubs and weeds that needs to be emptied so i can lay a path and more grass. The earth is really, really stoney. Id prefer to do it myself, rather than get a professional in - partly because of cost but also because id rather do it myself if possible. Please can someone tell me the easiest way to clear out the flower bed, or is it a case of hard labour digging it all up? Also, when it is finally clear, can i just lay the paving slabs onto the earth, or do i need to put something down first? Any help and advice appreciated, thank you.

Especially regarding growing such in pots. Also, I know these plants are tropical but if anyone has any suggestions about growing these in a cooler climate that would be fantastic.

I am curious to see how many people deem it necessary to mow their lawns more than once a week, and why.

I don't see the point in mowing it more than twice a month, but that doesn't mater. Please tell me if you or anyone you know mow more than once a week.
