I was also wanting to know if you could treat them at the same time. Currently they are on the west side of my home. Do I need to move them to the east side? Is it okay to have them in the back of the home? There is very little shade back there.

My mother has one like mine and it's been in that pot for half a year and hers is producing 5 offshoots i don't understand why it's not producing offsets? The mother in laws tongue that isn't producing pups is mature enough to produce some how come it's not?

I planted half a dozen blood root flowers in what has turned out to be a poor location. If I transplant them now, will they have time to adjust before the first frost, which will be around the end of October?

I've found a site online that sells high-quality, weather-proof, artificial flowers. They are expensive, but they last for a long time. I want to plant a few along the front of the house and in some window boxes from second floor windows. Is this tacky? I'm not a gardening girl, to me its just another chore.

We have a chain link fence along the edge of our property. Weeds, kudzu, honeysuckle have taken over the fence almost entirely! How do I begin to clean these off? It would take a ton of weed killer to kill all of this stuff and even then, the plants are so wrapped around the fence, I am not sure how I would get them off. Any ideas?

Looking to plant new landscape and want to know which are the best plants to plant. Looking for minimal maintenance for plants that are exposed to the sun all day. Also, how often said plants should be watered.
Thank you.

Our garden area near the outside door has a problem this year with millipedes. We have it under control with insect spray and they die off quickly. The problem is that dead millipedes (we are talking hundreds or thousands) give off a strong disgusting odor. Does anyone know of a chemical etc. that we could put in the garden to neutralize the odor. We do not have the time to daily dig up (damage the flowers etc.) and bury hundreds of dead millipedes.

My neighbours have always been difficult, and have two jack russell dogs that are continually snarling and growling at our fence. To try and cover the fence and put more distance between us, i have grown jasmine up it. Whilst we were away, they have cut down what has grown over the fence and thrown it back into our garden. I wouldn't have minded so much if they had asked first. I know if it was fruit trees they are supposed to throw it back, but they have never mentioned it before. Does anybody have any ideas on how we stand?

I purchased 3 Azalia bushes for the back of my house. (west side) How far from the house should I plant them, and how far apart? They would really look pretty strange planted too far from the house, but I don`t want to dig them up and replant them in another year or so either. What could I plant in back of them that would look good, is tall, and not interfere with the bushes. Should I put all three together? I am starting with a clean slate, so any other planting Ideas for the back of my house? Chicagoland area Thanks much

I bought a little chilli plant at Kew Gardens, but I'm wondering when they're "ripe". I know they go from cream to orange to red but do they grow longer when they're red, or is that it? They're all quite small. Don't ask what type they are, I haven't a clue, I'm not the gardening type. ;]

I have brand new landscaping with a pond and waterfall. There is not going to be anything living in it. I'm guessing it's about 300 gallons. I am adding water to the pond every 2-3 days due to evaporation (I'm in South Florida). I am also adding about a cup of Clorox to the water every 10 days or so. I brush the waterfall and pond down with a stiff brush to remove the algae and dirt, then skim it with a pool skimmer to clean it.

Is there anything I can use to keep the water cleaner longer than Clorox? Are there any slow-release chlorine or algaecide tablets I can float in there?

Here is my setup: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrichman/930353709/in/set-72157601080983794/

It is about 4 ft. tall right now, and a quick grower.
The scale on one picture is inches and the other is mm
