Actually, I've already planted it. (tee hee) I don't have much gardening experience- so I wonder, is it okay? It would be surrounded by flowers, such as lantana perrenials. impatiens, Alyssum, Begonia- pretty much most of the annuals. Is there anything I shouldn't be planting by the tree?? Thanks a lot!!

Creepers doing well who might have some insight?

i bought a rubber tree plant last spring, it had several stalks (if that's the right word) that were each about a foot high. it did well for quite a while, but now seems to be dying. while the stalks continue to grow, the leaves have almost all fallen off. i thought i was over-watering it, so i cut back dramatically and that seemed to help for a while - but now it's looking worse than ever. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

What can I mulch with ? Garden clippings? Evergreen and pine cones that are in my back yard? Can I use my evergreen needles to mulch with in my garden and veggies bed? I have created a compost pile. Thanks for all responses.

Hello all gardners. I have planted in my West-side garden bed three dahlias, they growth strongly , with strong stems. Nevertheless, all summer I was hoping and hoping I would have blooms. What's gone wrong? Help. Do I need to take them out we have harsh winters here in Northern Utah.
And if so how do I take them out and store them? Thanks

We planted some habanero pepper plants this summer and, wow, they went gangbusters! I've got dozens upon dozens of these little fireballs and I'm wondering now what to do with. I like hot food as much as the next guy but with these things you need one peppers at a time. Anyone got suggestions of ways to perserve these as sauces, freezing, salsas or something that will keep for several months? I've never canned but I'm willing to try....

I have some very nice antique pots in wrought iron stands and some ornamental screens in my garden. They are not painted and I like the slightly rusty effect,but I dont want them to rust away. What can I treat them with? Or maybe I should put them in the shed over Winter?

I have two apple trees in my yard and they did not bear ANY fruit this year. How can I make sure this does NOT happen again. (I am thinking it is because of the late snow we had this year)

Why or why not?

Is there anything special you can do to utilize them? I bought a 'seed mulch' of daisy and alyssum to scatter over a large area, but I know I won't be able to get them to grow and get to seed before it's too cold (frost). I wanted to save them for next year.

The grape vine is positively laden with grapes but they remain small, abot the size of a current. They cannot be eaten and its clear they are not fully developed although when squashed they are juicy.

I have heard that to get variegated sansevierias, some used giberrellic acid or ethyl methane sulfonate (EMS) in treating the leaves of the plant before subjecting the leaves to irradiation treatment. Is this true? What is the concentration of the solution and the strength of radiation needed in gamma ray units?

It's in SE England and has been pretty well maintained. I've grown herbs and veggies in pots on the balcony, but this is the first time I've had actual land to grow on! I'm really excited, but don't know where to begin...

I've been wanting to get a Venus fly trap for a week or so now and I have been doing some reading but I still have a few unanswered question.

1. How do I go about feeding it? Just let the bugs fly around in the terrarium until it lands on the plant or drop it in the trap?

2. I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada and I read that if you live in a colder climate you can just put the plant near a window sill for the dormant season. Is this a good idea? If so do I take it out of the terrarium or leave it in? If it's not a good idea what is?

3. Do i feed during dormant season?

4. How much do I water it?

I was also thinking of a 2 L pop bottle for a terrarium do these work?

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS!!

I suspect this is some sort of fungal growth. Does anyone know how to rid them of this. The leaves are starting to look dried up.

I went to Lowe's today and bought a plastic box with these three plants inside it (All inside the same box). Can I keep these in the same box or should i seperate them? The plastic box is about 8 inches tall and 3 inches wide. Should I keep it under a fairly hot light (It's fairly cold where I am right now)? How much should I water them all? How much flys should I feed them all?
