Garden & Landscape - July 2007

Hi,
my lawn was green but really thin and lot of places where grass wasnt growing. I was about to dig out the old grass and apply Sod but decided to go with grass seeds.
I live in Toronto, avg tempt is 32°C, i spreaded grass seeds last night. I was looking on google how spring and falls is the best time to spread seeds.
what are the chances that grass will grow now? since its really hot outside, i will be wattering the lawn 3 times a day.

thanks

I am tired of moving my picnic table everytime I mow the grass. I am thinking about digging up the grass underneath and laying down mulch or something so that I will not have to mow it. does anyone have any good landscaping ideals about this ?

There is a plant in my backyard that began to grow out of nowhere. It has large green leaves, leaves keep growing on its stem, and its plant size is huge. The stem is kind of purple-green. I love this plant and keep taking care of it! What type of plant is this?

I bought my orchid a month ago. It has moss as its soil. It was wet when I bought it, but its not drying out. I have another orchid which I have to water every week, however this one I've only watered it once, and even then it wasn't needing a watering. Now one of the leaves is yellow, and the spike is droping on the end, and the flowers are falling off. Whats wrong??

I've just dug up all the grass in my front garden to make way for a veg plot. I want to compost it but haven't got a clue how to make a compost stack.

I planted 4 pumpkin vines at the back of my small garden. They are now 4-6 feet long, have about 20 flowers each (from the size of a walnut to the size of my hand) and are growng over/pulling down the other plants in the garden. I should have planted them farther apart, but live and learn.

Can I transplant them to another part of the garden? How would I transplant the vines?

It's about 95% brown and after 4 years in the earth never took to rooting. Was thinking if I changed the location it would come back.
