Since fruit is defined as having seeds, perhaps there should be a different phrase used instead of the oxymoron "seedless fruit."

I am so inlove with this tree i just went a bought one right when i saw it without doing any research....
I found out that they can spread 30-50 ft width and my yard is 36x36ft :(((((
I've heard that if you want to keep a tree small you can plant it in the ground in a container...and i've seen it but can this apply to the willow?? I hear they have an aggresive root system so maybe using a stone container under ground would be a good idea if the general idea of the container can really work with the willow... I really want this tree in my backyard so please any ideas would be appreciated!!!

I've got some garden pests I need to identify. They are small black caterpillar type insects that congregate in excess of 50+ and systematically eat a plant one leaf at a time. After the fact, there is a skeleton of the previous leaf structure remaining. If it's any help I live in Texas. I'd like to use a homemade organic deterrent, rather than a broad based insecticide. Therefore, identification is kind of important.

For whatever reason, the neighborhood cats LOVE to poop and pee on our lawn. They also dig it up with their claws when they scratch around. They act just like dogs, and now our front yard stinks, and our lawn has dirt patches and big patches of yellow where the cat urine killed the grass. Does anyone know of any good ways to keep cats off of the lawn?

I live in zone 5 and I'm beginning to get into growing my own plants from cuttings and seed. I don't have room for a big greenhouse, but I'd like some way to continue growing my little saplings and rooting my outdoor cuttings during the winter. Has anyone used those mini greenhouses? Are they for indoors or outdoors? Are they worth the money? Thanks!

I live in a relatively new home, many people in this new neighbourhood are having trouble growing shrubs in their backyard. We live in Manitoba Canada and I guess when they built the house much of the clay was pushed all over the yard so there may not be a lot of top soil there. Anyways the point is my lilacs are continually dying year after year and this process has been going on for 5 years. The Lilacs closer to the home have a better survival rate but I don't know what I can do to help these plants grow. Should I dig deep down around the Lilacs to put top soil down again? Or are there other solutions? Any help would be appreciated as so far nothing or no one seems to have been able to solve the problem.

A coworker gave me a basket with some small potted plants. One of them is an ivy plant and I noticed it had several leaves covered in was appeared to be very fine spiderwebs. On closer examination, I saw that there were dozens of tiny white bugs moving along the 'webs'. What are these? They're about the size of a pen point, so I'm not able to see much detail.

I live in southern Louisiana. I have a big maple tree in my front yard facing west. I put a few inches of top soil and manure around its base closed in with some rocks. It gets full sun, but I can't get anything to grow there. I planted narcissus bulbs and only a couple came up in spring. I planted sweet potato vine twice and what the squirrels didn't eat died and never came back. I planted purslane and it died in a couple weeks. Not even weeds will grow there! My Mom suggested that maybe someone dumped ashes or something there, but would the effects have lasted this long? I've been living year 1.5 years now. What could survive here? I don't care what it is I just want something there. Thanks!

also i have some plants outside which are ok is it ok to keep using house plant soil for them.

ive only really heard of mustrard or clover...are they in the top 5?
also hear comfrey is a useful plant to create a liquid manure...but surely the tuberous roots and slow time to mature puts them out of the reckoning as a green manure.

I have a potted asiatic lily that just finished for the season. What is the best way to care for this until Spring? Do I keep it slightly moistened? Put it in the garage and let it dry? Dig up the bulbs and put them into a brown paper bag?
