I don`t want to lose it`s height but I think a trim would do it good so if anyone can tell me how to do it I would be pleased.

We recently moved, and we inherited a plant that was all shriveled up. I took off all the dead leaves and I've been watering it every1-2 days. Its doing beauitifully, but it's in an area where people often step on or kick it. Its a big plant, but it also has about 15 medium sized plants, (the same kind) growing around it. I would like to dig the whole thing out and plant them in a better spot. HOW??? Calling me a beginning gardener would be an understatment. I need all th eonline info i can get!! I don't know te name of the name of the plant, but I know that its non flowering, Others in the yard are about 1 1/2 -2 feet tall. It has long leaves that reach the ground.

A master gardner I am not! Though this summer, I did attempt to garden a couple tomato plants in pots with some fair results. My question is do I throw them away when the winter hits and they dont look so good, can I keep them until next spring/summer? I live in Seattle, so not alot of sun and alot of rain. Thanks in advance!

I am guessing they didn't get pollinated. I have six plants and only two bloomed, the other four are duds. I don't know what happened.

This year I raised Canna's for the first time. I noticed after the flowers have wilted there is a small pod that seems to be full of tiny seeds. My question is: Can more Canna's be raised from these seeds (if indeed they are seeds) Thanks

We have a guinea pig. His bedding is pine shavings. I looked at a previous answer and found that rodent bedding is fine to go into a compost bin.

I cannot have a compost bin outside, due to community regulations. I'm certain that my hubby would be very against having one inside! Finances are tight, so I would not be able to even buy one of those nifty countertop bins, although we are considering saving for one in the future for kitchen waste.

So, my question is: Can I just turn the used shavings (with the guinea pig poop in them) into the soil? We do not have a ton of garden space, as we live in a condo, but I hate to just throw out the stuff if it is usable.

grows in Northern Calif. (zone 9B) Everything so far is not a perrenial, is invasive, looks like a week when not blossoming, or something! I've looked through thousands of flowers! Don't you hate it when you have a certain picture in your mind but nothing matches it? Any suggestions?

my brother had a garden and he had his plants all really close together and he had a pumpkin plant and a tomato plant really close together actually about 5 pumpkin pants and 10 tomato plants right next to each other and every pumpkin turned out to be orange except one and it was blood red and im thinking it might have something to do with planting it so close to the tomato plant? idk what do you think? just a weird pumpkin? or cross breed?

This year my garden sort of failed, due to it being my first one. Next spring though, I want to try again and have it work. What are some great plants that will survive in zone six. We have very hot summers (90-100 degrees) and colder winters. I have lillies already.

why or why not? And if i put a flower with roots and one without roots in soil, how long would it take for them to die. How long for the one with roots, and how long for the one without roots.

My husband and I are putting new sod in our backyard here in Santa Barbara, CA and want to see if anyone else has used Superior Sod Plus here in Southern California.
Is it drought resistant?
Does it repair itself quickly?
Is it agressive?
How long have you had it?
Why is it better than Marathon II?
Thanks.

My neighbor, it seems, abandoned his house and has an oleander covered with caterpillars. I know these are oleander caterpillars and will attack the plant. They are beginning to come over to our house. Could these bugs attack my grass and plants? I know he has several oleanders in the back yard too.

We found a dead dog in our pool. I don't know how he got in as we have a fenced yard--but anyway the poor guy had already started breaking down when we got him out. Any ideas how to decontaminate the pool. Thank you.

I've had three estimates and two so far boasts about their HUNTER sprinkler heads while the last one wants to use Rainbird.

Can I get input from anyone that works on these type of brands or from your personal experience?

Thanks everyone.
