I was wondering when the LEGAL time is to pick cat tails. I live in Wisconsin. Also, how do you preserve them so they stay in tact.
Thanks

Mine put on a beautiful pink show in May and June and now are not blooming and are getting leggy. They are about 5ft tall and 5ft wide. Or do you prune them at all?

I live in New Mexico, and it's VERY hot and dry right now(strong sun & high elevation). My cosmos keep dying--turning wilty, then brown, no matter how much water I give them, or whether they're inside or outside (I live in an apt., so they're in pots). What do you advise?

I'm really in the gardening mood for next year, and I'm planning everything now, so everything will look great. I have a fence by some cedars that is about 60 metres long, and behind it is a nice view of an old barn. This is what I'm going to plant as a border, I'm am going to plant 4 perannuals, Pink Fireweed ( http://www.bcadventure.com/adventure/wilderness/wildflowers/fireweed.htm ) White Soapwort, ( http://botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/s/soawor61.html ) Blue and Purple Lupins ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Mainelupin.jpg ) and Orange Lilies ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HemerocallisFulva1UME.jpg ) They are all wild in my area except for lupins. Does this sound good? Do you think it would look nice? I calculated it out and i need about 65 fireweed, 70 lillies, 40 soapwort and about 40 lupins.

Has anyone used a combination of coke, dishsoap, and tobacco for lawn fertilizer. I had a gentleman tell me that this combination made a great lawn fertilizer and weed killer. The tobacco was for insects. I would like to try this, but I do not know how much of each to put into the mixture. He said he put the mixture into on of those hose spray bottles and just water his lawn with the stuff.

My neighbor has a big tree and the branches hang over my lot line. Can I ask my neighbor to cut the branches back from the lot line? And what if the neighbor does not comply with the request? Does he have to do this?

I have an apple tree (could be at least 40 yrs old) the lower limbs look like 'deadwood' and have not 'borne' fruit for quite a long while.
The upper limbs are bearing just a FEW fruit but "very half heartedly" and nothing like the quality they used to be.
I have started lopping off the dead limbs thus my question
"Should I do this?"
"Has the tree 'had it' ???

I live west of Phoenix, AZ. I am planning to plant four 15 gallon Shamel Ash trees in my backyard. I do not want them to die from the heat... but I want them to have a chance to get roots before the winter freeze. The average temperature right now anywhere from 100-110 degrees with random humidity. We are having a somewhat rainy season, so the temp and humidity vary by day. It can get as hot as 120 degrees in August. Is there a certain temperature range I should look for before planting my trees to prevent them dying from sunburn or heat???

The previous owners didn't put plastic or weed barrier fabric under, and now there's weeds everywhere. I am completely overwhelmed! It looks terrible. What do I do?

I have several young children, and it's very hard to find the time or energy to do it-I already have so much on my plate! None of the yardwork will get done unless I do it. I need a solution to get rid of large areas of weeds quickly and in a cost effective way, and to keep them away! I don't want to have to hire help if possible-it's such a big job, I can see someone charging inordinate amounts of money. Is there a quick, effective way for me to get rid of them myself? There are woodchips in the play area, too, which complicates it a little. The weeds are getting really embarrassing!
