Garden & Landscape - September 2007

I am looking for some inexpensive Garden edging ideas to surround my entire yard perimeter. I like clean lines and the design is a kidney shape. Any ideas besides Plastic edging?

I live in southern california and I have never seen anything like this insect. They are generally black and sometimes have red coloring on the top or underbelly. They have wings but I have never seen them fly. The largest I've seen them is about 1 centimeter. If you step on them it seems that lots of blood comes out. The most peculiar thing about them is that they connect to themselves from the back and walk around as if they united to become one. In sum it is a pretty ugly insect but I am extremely curious as to what kind of insect it is.

I have a mini rose bush in a pot. They are pink. I use miracle grow once a week. They are blooming nicely and regularly. The bloom gets full size, then after a couple of days, the color fades. I live in South Texas, and they get partial sun, but direct sun and heat. What is going on, how do I fix it.

Thanks!!!

While chopping up Tomatoes it appears that some of the seeds automatically fall up on the chopping board. Should I keep them for replanting next year? If , yes what is the proper procedure? Thanks.

I am researching honey crisp apple trees, and I am considering planting one in my back yard in the spring.

I understand that similar apple trees do not pollinate each other, and I must look for an early blooming apple or crab apple tree for pollination. At least I think that's correct.

My neighbor across the street has 2 apple trees in her back yard, I think one is crab apple and I'm not certain of the other type.

Is this too far away or would the crab apple tree in my neighbor's yard work for pollinating a tree in my back yard? I'm guessing the distance between the two trees would be something like 30 yards or so.

I'm considering selling rare herbs/veggies/flowers locally next year. However, I might also attempt an internet type business.
My question is, does anyone know how you would pack plants in order to keep them alive during shipping. I'm aware that things should be shipped when they are dormant (early Spring, late fall). Also, what are the laws regarding shipping plants to different states?
Any info would help. Thanks.

I live in South Carolina, and we have a large yard with NO landscaping and no trees. I want to put some flower beds next to the house that contain shrubs only. The problem is that I'm not sure which kind of mulch to get, how deep it needs to be, and I'm having a problem finding it in stores. We're going to edge each bed with the concrete edger blocks. As for the mulch, I'd like long-lasting, insect repelling, reddish colored and very low maintenance. Don't want much do I? Any info you have would be appreciated. I am not a gardener by any stretch!

I bought a mum at wal-mart in a small planter I guess you would call it. I don't have a green thumb, and my mum is dying...can it be saved? There were a few days that it didn't get water and now its turning brown. How long to mums usually last and do they need to be planted in the ground?

Annuals are the ones that come back every year right? Those are the ones I need to know about. Should I pull the dead plants once the frost gets them? Or do I just leave them alone? I'm fairly sure they've already seeded....I'm a new gardener and the house I moved into has a lovely garden and I want to maintain it!! Help!!!
Thanking you in advance, Flamingo.

There are two large evergreen trees (each a spruce, though not sure which kind aside from NOT blue) in my yard, approx 8 ft from each other. They are now about 20 ft tall, and the skinnier of the two seems to be struggling Could it be root competition because of proximity to other tree? No signs of disease.

Other is very wide - probably 3 times the width.
