I had lilies(Asiatic) in the garden for the first time this year. Now that they have died down and the stalks are brown, do I cut them down or just leave them?

It isnt causing any problems, and I am prepared to leve it until the winter, when they die off

Q...
1) Will they come back to the same place next year

I need to give a presentation in my horticulture class in 2 weeks over someone I interview in the field of horticulture.

None of the questions would be personal. I would just like to send a few emails so I can give my presentation.

I need to interview someone in the following professions...

Greenhouse grower
Florist
Retail Sales
Ground maintenance
Turf maintenance
Turf production
Nursery production
Arborist
Extension Agent
Research Technician
Horticultural Therapist
Golf Course Management
Landscape Design
Education

I would like to find someone in horticultural therapy since that is what I am going into, but I appreciate any help from anyone.

I posted this about 2 weeks ago, but I can't get the question to open anymore, and I have no idea why :(.

Thank you so much and I appreciate every reply!!!

walk in the backyard anymore, because there are so many of them all over the dead lawn. Are there any herbal remedies?

My yard has a decent amount of dog poop scattered around it. I have a new lawn mowing service coming and was wondering if they will become angry that there is dog poop around my lawn. Should I try to clean it up first?

It took me 2 plus years to train my honey suckle on my fence in the back yard, and the property owners behind me are getting the house ready to REsell (directly behind me). The fence is MINE, and the plants are mine. They not only trimmed it to nothing, but then took their clippers and stuck them thru my fence and CUT the ROOT at the ground. I am so UP SET!!!! I know it might just be honey suckle but it took a Very long time to get it so BIG, and Trained, and not to mention the water, fertilizer, and my poor heart is broke!

Is there anything I can do? They have destroyed my pride, and hard work and dedication! I plan to plant more, but in the future when they have to REsell this house again, they may do the same thing. Can I keep it from happening?

Please Help!

Help! I have a part time job, and I have to water my boss's garden (for some reason, that sounds like a sexual innuendo, but moving on.. LOL..) and sometimes I see yellowjackets - only if it's sunny out.

So, I am literally out there w/ my heart racing and running to and fro when a yellowjacket bursts out from nowhere into my face. I'm fine with normal bees, but yellowjackets... are like "gangsta insects"! Their motivation for their existence is to KILL KILL KILL.

I use those Bounce dryer sheets, but it doesn't always work. I've been stung by one before, and it hurt so bad I actually passed out. O_O

So, how do I keep those little segments of Satan away from me? Staying still when one approaches doesn't work - it's like nailing myself to a cross. I don't use fragrant products, or wear exceptionally bright colors.

A 70 foot high dead tree has been looming above my driveway for some time now. Despite my promises to get it cut down, I didn't happen. Now its fallen on its of regard, but it only fell half way. The way its positioned, its at no risk of hurting anything since it'll just fall into open woods. But, still, its procariously leaning now.
When I got an estimate to have it cut down, the guy quoted me a whooping $400! Since at my previously own property I had gotten three cut down and hauled away for $800, you can see my hesitation.
I don't want to pay someone to come and finish the job because its not worth hundreds of dollars. Especially since NOONE goes over there. There are no kids or anyone who play there. Still, the looming, ominous tree is a little unnerving.
Please dont suggest paying someone. I've obviously already considered that and will use it as a last resort. I'm just looking for other options. Here are some pictures:

They are done flowering out, now I have just these stalks and leaves all over my flower bed. I was wondering if it would be safe to cut them down some? If it is how far can I cut without harming them?

I don't remember it exactly, I saw it at the end of last school year during a trip to the local college campus. My first description would be to call it a tree, but I'm not even sure if it is a tree. I don't remember much about the branches or trunk or anything, but it did not have many leaves, was fairly tall, and had these huge white flowers on it. The flowers were by themselves, not in groups, and each was about as big as my hand if not bigger. I don't remember how many there were, but not very many. The flowers smelled really really good and the scent was strong. It was planted next to a walkway kinda against a wall.

I don't know much of anything about plants, I hope my probably-distorted memory of the plant is enough for somebody to help me put a name to it. Thanks!

Hi everyone, RScott and I were wondering what you grew up calling the Armadillidium vulgare. We thought it would be interesting to find out if different cultures and countries had different names for them. If you don't know what that is then you may recognize it by a few of it's nicknames like Pill bug, Roley Poley, or Tiggy Hog. I for one called it a Roley Poley. What did you call it?
