Garden & Landscape - September 2007

Our neighbour's Ivy has grown over our fence so we trimmed it back to the top of the fence. As we live in a terrace our other neighbour to the right (not the Ivy neighbour) has complained we have killed off the Ivy. If it is our garden, surely we can cut it back to the top of the fence?

I need some ideas because I'm not creative and busy with kids. Right now nothing is planted along the side of our house. I'd like to plant some fall bulbs that appear in the spring but I don't know what other plants can grow with them, once the spring flowers die its so ugly! I need something else to appear or always be there after they die, ya know? Hostas I thought would maybe get too big and eventually cover the spring flowers.???

Preferably plants that will grow at the base of a hedge where the cats come and go to the next door property.

Our office is behind a huge concrete planter. There are big plants in there at the moment so when clients come in to the building they can't see our office because of the big palms etc.

Also, all the plants are the same green, it is very umimpressive.

Any suggestions what would look good, provide some colour and grow less than 4 feet tall so people can still see our door over the plants/flowers.

The clumps are large and are full of dead stalks and leaves. The leaves are curling in on themselves. Is it the lack of water or is it that they need digging up and seperating.

I have some walnut trees in my yard and they are loosing their leaves, badly. We have had lots of rain so it's not water and I don't see any bugs or anything on them. I have lots of trees and it is only the walnut trees that are having a problem.

Hi, my landlord and I are great friends and we hang out alot. The other day he came over while I was researching venus fly traps on the net so I confessed to him that I've always wanted to set-up a terrarium for a venus fly trap but that I've never gotten around to doing it. Then the next day he found out that I was moving two hours away, he showed up at my door with a venus fly trap in a tiny pot as a going away gift. (sweet man) He offered to buy me anything I needed or wanted to set up my terrarium for the fly trap...I already have a 2.5 gallon tank with a glass lid, plus the plant, but we're shopping tomorrow morning for the rest of the needed supplies so that we can set up the terrarium tomorrow afternoon YET I'm still not sure of how to set up the terrarium nor am I sure of the exact care for venus fly traps!
any advise on setting up terrariums for venus fly traps
or any advise on the care of venus fly traps (humidity, food...)
would be greatly appreciated!
thanks ya'll!

I have tons of burrows in my yard. I don't know if they are moles or gophers. I have dogs in the yard so don't know if the gopher remedies will be okay to use.

After they are done blooming do I cut them down to the ground ??? I don't want them to die and look crapy. Do they come back every spring, for how many years if so?

I received a plant as a gift in a small pot. It is growing very nicely. It has three triangle shaped leaves at the very end of each thin stalk (the stalk looks like a raw beansprout). The three triangle leaves are a deep, dark purple, and they fold up at night like they are praying. I like this plant, I wonder if I can plant it outdoors or should I just get a larger pot? I have NO idea what it is!!!!

Hello everybody, today, when I went out to garden, I discovered that all my plants have these strange white-ish to light yellow GLOBS on my plants! They are all over my garden, and they look like little chicken eggs. They are hard. Does anybody know what this is? TIA

Ok, I got a Venus Fly Trap about a month ago, its direcions are...
Grows best in sphagrum moss or peat moss because it holds a lot of water. Likes a lot of light but not full of sun, needs to stay warm, so if it gets chilly keep inside. If the tips turn brown, cut them.
so now I live in VA so its really hot out, ikeep it inside all the time but keep it in a window, the tips turn brown and I think its cuz it gets to much light. Im scared if I keep it outside all the time it will just die b/c of to much sun. I want to help it grow but I cant, should i get a heat light or what should I do?

I have a huge backyard in my new house. The previous owners added filler dirt, but it ran off into the neighbors' yards and now I have holes under the fence. Half of the backyard was sodded and the back half was not (where the dirt has run off). Our neighbor has a pond for several days after it rains because my backyard runs off into theirs. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Also, I have NO trees as the developer bulldozed all the natural trees and the previous owners never planted any. I live in Texas and it is very hot in my area during summer/fall.What are some good trees to plant?

Thanks in advance!
Kari

I bought a plant for my garden but lost the stick that tells the type of plant it is. So I need to ID it so I can safely winterize it. It has broad deep redish purple leaves, and blooms small pink/purple flowers that don't last long but leave little purple bumpy balls behind, at the base of the bloom. It grows quite tall, and reminds me of a rubber tree plant in nature.... I have searched the net, but that's near impossible... any help or suggestions? It's too beautiful and hearty to lose!!! I am on the Canadian West Coast if that helps with the type of plant I can purchase.

So many people want their gardens so perfect, everything in line, and every living thing besides the plants that were planted there dead. My garden is completely the opposite. My garden is beautiful and vibrant, and a habitat for several living creatures. I have 6 Dyanthis, 3 Cana Lilies, Carrots, Tomatoes, Radishes, Queen Anne's Lace, Morning Glories, Some sort of purple flower, peas, beans, Sunflowers, and even a single Corn Stalk! Some of those things were planted last spring, but many of them-like the tomatoes, Queen Anne's Lace, and the plant with purple flowers just decided to live there. It's one of my greatest joys, and I can't understand why people slave every day so that their gardens are absolutely perfect. Plants weren't made to be perfect. They were made to be unique. Gardens aren't only for humans to enjoy. Why can't many people understand that?
