A friend of mine told me, when I pick the dead headings from the Marigold, I can open them and take out their seeds. Are these the same seed's that come in the packages that you purchase in the store? Cause I been picking them all summer long. Wondering will they really work when I plant them next year in starters?

I have a Christmas Cactus that my Mother-in-Law gave me 5 or 6 years ago that I think needs to be repotted.

It looks like it is packed in some kind of moss (either that or the soil is very well decomposed), and there are huge gaps between the side of the pot and the rootball.

My question is, how do I repot it safely? What potting mixture do I use? what is the best kind of pot to use (currently in a plastic nursery pot)? when is the best time of year to repot?

If it matters, I live in Milwaukee, WI (though this is strictly an indoor plant).

Thanks for your advice.

These would be unprotected from the elements in winter and in summer would be in full sun

We have a large tree (the oldest, largest in the neighborhood) sitting smack-dead on the property line between our house and our neighbor's house. We have new neighbors who are complaining about an "obstructed view" of the street (and why someone would rather see a street and neighbor's houses than a tree I have no idea) and want to either cut the tree down or prune it to the point of deformation. We are refusing. Not only does the tree provide an excellent canopy over the entire front yard, it provides shade to the house which helps keep our energy bills low.

What, if any, are the liability concerns? What happens if the neighbor prunes and damages the tree without our permission?

We live in Ohio, by the way. We do not have a Home Owner's Association.

I just bought a big crepe myrtle and california pepper tree in a 15 Gallon bucket from a local grower, the trees are very big , they are like 2.5" trunk diameter. when i bought the trees, the guy had to cut off a couple big roots from the tree that were growing out of the bucket to the ground. he specifically told me there is no warranty on the tree becos of that reason, at that time, the big trees were already on the truck so i just took them home. a week has gone by, now both the tree seems to be dying, the leaves look curly and dry and they are losing a lot of leaves. i have no idea wether are they dying or in shock? is it worth transplanting them to the ground? please advice.Thank you! P/S: i had learned my lesson and think i'm being punished for being greedy on getting a big tree out of a small 15 gal. :~((

My fam & I just moved into a new home, & I gave the lawn a very much needed mow. I watered the lawn, & as I watered I talked to my granny on the phone, & I could have sworn I saw a snake tail on the other side of the tree I was watering. I went to the other side of the tree & saw a really long yellow snake w/ black spots. I ran like a beheaded chicken screamed like a little girl, nearly breaking my granny's ear drum, hung up the phone, got my parents & spent hours spraying the tree down w/ the sharpest knife from my collection with me. since then, I've going to the back lawn every morning pacing around the lawn for 3 hours to see if I can't find the snake. Did I really see it, or am I just nuts?

I'd like to have the jungle at the front of the house removed and chuckies/driveway gravel laid down but am unsure if it is within budget - what is a ball park estimate for this? The 'garden' is 470cm x 720cm

I have taken stalks from a silvery sage bush that blooms golden hard balls. I've tried just planting them in worked soil, but no luck. Any ideas?

It has long leaves that come straight out of the ground, it's a perennial and I think it's bulbous, it has distinctive orange flowers that grow either side of a long stem (tend to flower in sucession up the stem - one pair will die and a higher pair with bloom) and grows about 40-60cm high, the leaves are a pale-mid green colour and it grows in clumps

I am scared to death of snakes.
Yesterday they were one came up by my front door climbed up on my storm door handle.
Neighbors saw another one like this a couple weeks ago.
I have a beautiful home and lawn always mowed weekly.
I am about ready to put my home on market this morning...that is how bad my fear is.
Any suggestions what I can get to keep them away???
Thanks in advance........

I heard it really works, but I'm afraid I'll wind up killing my plants.

Has anyone tried this, or know if it works? On all kinds of plants?

We had trouble walking at night after rain for fear of squashing snails, and they were always eating our plants in the back yard. I dont see slaters any more either. Two of three years ago there were stacks of them.
