This is my first time growing roses. I purchased the Veteran's Honor rose hybrid.
It had several blooms yesterday, that have dropped already.

Basically, the plant was around 10 centimetres tall, a slightly thick green stalk with a number of a rather large reddish seeds at the top (the seeds were similar to pomegranate seeds ('Arils'). That's all

Unfortunately, I don't have a picture (I know, I'm sorry). The plant has now disappeared, presumed taken by a cat or something.

There was only one in my garden - the first I've ever seen - and it grew underneath my cherry tree, presumably due to a bird having dropped a seed for it obtained from elsewhere.

If you can accompany your guess with a web linked photo that would be great.

Happy guessing!

I have recently moved to an area that has rather sandy soil. Not really loamy, mostly sand where the water just drains right off it. What do I need to add to my beds to make them suitable for growing spring bulbs such as crocus's and daffodils? Can I just build a raised bed on top of it and add regular soil on top of it or is this going to create a problem?

I have a medium size garden next to my house with cherry tomatos and regular tomatos, jalepenos and green and red peppers. When I went to go out to pick some things, I noticed an infestation of fruit flies. I know some of my cherry tomatos that were buried started to rot. How do I get rid of the fruit flies??? Will they ruin my garden?? Help!

Is the deck builder obligated to remove the sod under the deck? I read the contract; it did not mention anything about removing the sod.

I am a beginning gardener, finally getting around to fixing up the overgrown weed-infested landscaping in our backyard. See pictures...this is the area I am working with. Basically, I dug up all the weeds, chopped and dug out some Yuccas (what a nightmare), and i am left with all this soil that has roots all over in it. I researched and ordered the plants I want there and have a design ready for when they get here.

How do I get the area actually ready to plant in? The soil has all these little root clusters in it...is that ok?

Should I dig all this soil out and replace it, or just cover with a bunch of new soil?

And since this is a big area, HOW DO I HAUL AWAY/BRING IN ENOUGH SOIL to cover this area??? I can't imagine just getting bags from a garden store, that would take so many! HELP I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PROCEED! Thanks.

I have a wonderful bright red perennial hibiscus with 10 inch diameter flowers. After each flower dies, there is a large seed left in the flower pod. Can I start these in the house and plant out in late spring or should I plant them directly into the soil outside? If outside, should I plant them in fall or spring??

Ok,So I just got a venus flrytrap and I've wanted one for so long but am not 100% sure on how to take care of it.It came from walmart and is in a lil itty bitty pot and there are a good 15-20 traps.It came inside a plastic tube with a lid.It says to keep very moisturized.What I am most wondering about is,do you only feed the trap flys or can you feed it other bugs? Also where should I keep the plant,inside or in and if in..where to keep the moisture in? Also since it is so small and in a itty pot..can I repot in a bigger pot? How? Thankz guys..I've always relied on you guys to help me and Im really hoping you can help me here. :-)

I have a peace lily I was given 3 years ago. It has a lot of sentimental value to me. It started blooming great big blooms, and they've gotten smaller and smaller and now there are none. I have it in the place of the house it prefers (a bright bathroom) and I let it droop a little before I water it. I fertilize with houseplant fertilizer. What am I doing wrong?

We just bought a new house and I wanted to plant a little pumpkin patch in my yard. (Halloween is really big here). I live in East Texas, Is it too late to plant them? I dont really want time for anything other then decoration in the yard...and so the kids can maybe go pick their own pumpkin when they come trick-or-treating.

I live in Florida in a zone that will grow dogwoods but my trees have yellow leaves. The soil is on the acid side and very loamy and shaded. Can some explain the yellow leaves?
