Garden & Landscape - September 2007

I am putting a rock lawn in by myself when it cools down. I need to know what is the best fabric, brand name and where to get it, to put underneath these rocks so that I won't have grass and weeds coming through. Most of my neighbors who have rock lawns have grass that grew through. Black plastic is not an option, as I live in Vegas and it will melt. Any ideas for other substances that I can put down to keep the grass/weeds from growing through? The last thing I want is to have to take all the rocks out and redo it because the fabric didn't work.

I had a very depressing trip to the nursery yesterday. I grow most of my plants from seeds, and I just don't understand HOW the nursery gets its seedlings to grow so BIG so FAST in those tiny containers! What the heck do they DO to those plants?? Nuclear radiation? I bought a chilli plant in a tiny little pot, and the plant was already about 15cm high and FRUITING? I waited MONTHS for my chilli plant to produce last year!

Im THAT fed up that I don't CARE if its organic! I'd buy HORMONE additives if they would help! I give mine seaweed tonic and fertiliser, or compost and worm castings and everything!

I live in a cool, temperate, alpine region. The soil is too poor and rocky for a vegetable garden (I grow herbs in that bed instead).

I have a large verandah that gets full sun for most of the day and is very sheltered, so I was hoping to grow some vegetables in big tubs and planters along it.

Any suggestions from experienced gardeners? Most vegetables will grow here, unless they are tropical or subtropical.

I bought a full grown hibicsus plant at the beginning of spring. It sits by my mailbox and gets almost full sun. It has done great the whole summer...beautiful endless blooms. Yesterday it was wilted a little so I watered it as normal. Today when I woke up almost a third of the leaves were yellow. Can anyone tell me what I did wrong;and how I can fix it before loosing the plant?

So far, my watermelon plant has produced a large, sweet watermelon, but the other melons that have started to grow are starting to turn black at the end. I put a board under them. I keep them shaded with their own leaves. Or maybe they need sun. I water every other day. The vines are growing new leaves. I've removed the dead ones, but I still can't figure out why my melons are starting to rot. It wouldn't have anything to do with the fall season would it? I'd appreciate some help so I can try and grow another sweet melon.

Hello Y/A friends! I bought Non-stop orange tuberous begonias this past spring and I've heard you can store them for winter (In WI) and they will grow back next year. Can someone tell me how to do this correctly? Also looking for ideas in red, white and blue shade tolerant flowers for next spring. Would petunias do OK? They will get maybe 3-4 hours of sunlight daily. Thanks!

I have some ornamental pine trees in whiskey barrels outdoors. They seem to have turned a bit yellowish. Early in the season I gave them a bit of organic fertilizer (milorganite) and a couple of months ago a very light feeding of Osmocote. I water thoroughly once per week. They are in a semi sheltered area. What do you suggest?

About a month ago, we found a foot-long brownish colored snake under the sycamore tree in our yard in Northern NJ. We came across a baby brown snake yesterday in the same location.

We origingally thought it was a northern brown snake, but all pics on the net show a different pattern. 'Our' snakes have a diamond shape pattern whereas the northern brown has two rows of dark dots along its back.

I'm totally freaked out - has anyone had a similar experience?
