I have what is commonly called an Umbrella plant. (Don't know the real name of the plant), and a bunch of the leaves are falling off. I have never owned one of these plants before and don't know if this is normal. Could it be overwatered? Thanks in advance for any advice!!! ☺

They look really nice when they're green but as soon as the start to ripen they get a black rotten spot on them. I end up having to throw away half the tomato...What's wrong with them?

We want to extend it w/ pavers to make a larger area. Is it better to pour more concrete and put the pavers above it or... something else. We live in Utah where the ground freezes and we would like low maintenance. What is the best option for us. Thanks for your time

I have 2 of these trees growing on either side of the porch of an old house in central Texas. Evergreen, tall, leaves are about 4" long but very narrow, like 1/4" to 1/2", thick and dark green. Fruit looks like a juniper berry but single and much larger. Not a cedar like we have growing in the hill country, leaves are much larger, branches grow upwards instead of downwards, tree silloutte doesn't have the cedar shape. Top half of one is dead, some branches on the other are dead....would like to know how to care for and trim but I haven't seen these before. Thanks!

I am trying to develop a no-till garden. Right now the spot I want to use is planted in sweet corn. What would be good crops to grow over the winter to help prepare the soil and also provide organic material and mulch for next year? I live in southern illinois. I am considering using a mix of legumes for nitrogen fixation, something else for organic material/mulch, and possibly another crop with deep roots for soil penetration. I would like to be able to start planting no till by the last week of april. If anyone has any experience in no-till gardening I would like to hear your input. Thanks

I actully cut a branch from one of my rose and put in a plastic and now it has leaves. I was told by a friend since it doesn't have strong roots/ not winter hardy enough, it will die in winter here in Boston area. Is it possible to save it? maybe I keep inside the house in winter? etc?

memorial garden located in Georgia, so the climate does not involve a harsh winter zone. The plant requirements are: "small, shade-loving plant, shade-tolerant and drought tolerant".

other attributes that we'd like to consider: petite, lovely, long-lived (perennial), feminine, strong. possibly purple?

Thank you in advance for suggestions!

I heard that you could fill up a bucket with water and dishwashing detergent or other liquids. Apparently, the mosquitoes will lay the eggs, but will not hatch. Thanks!

I really like the way a yard looks after it has been edged.

A tree that is fairly small good for placing in the corners of fencing. That reaches the maxium of 15 ft high and 10 ft spread. I would rather a 10 ft tree. I need something that will not attract pest and doesn't need much maintainence if any. Also there will be four of these along the front of the yard with a good distance spread but I don't want the front of the house to be hidden. I don't want it to attract alot of bees or wasp as that is a high risk I must avoid. If you can help me choose this, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you for at least viewing if you couldn't help. :)

I'm in the phoenix area, and we actually had a bad frost in January, and then the plant wasn't well watered due to a broken sprinkler head. Now it is visibly better, but there are many leaves that are brown on the edges and some are all brown. Please help, I bought this house with a beautiful yard, but I am inexperienced at growing things.

I was given this plant by an elderly lady who can't remember its name. Its looks are deceiving. What looks like a prickly succulent is in fact a flaccid rope with the feel of ultra-suede. It produces a flower like a purple Maypop but soft like the rest of the plant. http://s186.photobucket.com/albums/x47/RScott-02/?action=view¤t=DSCN4162.jpg RScott

What is this landscaping material called? It is black and mesh-like. I think it comes in rolls. It works as a barrier.
