I've moved from NJ to PA so I'm in the same zone but I've got to start my garden all over again. I am looking for plants/flowers (preferably bulbs) that will keep my garden lively from Spring thru Fall.
I've already purchased, Tulips, Iris', Crocus', and Hyacinths - which all tend to be Spring items.
I need some recommendations for Summer and Fall blooms. This will be going into a very slightly raised flower bed.

I love being outside and working in the yard. I just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant so this is a big concern for me. I know, put the baby first and all, but I love working with my hands out in the yard. Is there some kind of medium to this delima?

I bought two venus fly traps about a month and a half ago. They were doing great, growing new foliage and they both even started to flower! I trimmed off the flower stalks because it takes too much energy from the plant to flower and could have killed both. But for some reason, both of the plants have started to grow leaves that grow straight and normal, then they will turn and point down, then grow back up to make a loop in the stem. Some just keep growing and are fine with the loop, and others will turn black and the leaf will die at that point where the loop is. I give the plants distilled water or water that has sat out for a day or so. I don't really feed them or touch the traps. They live in a fish bowl terrarium with plastic over the top to keep the humidity in. They have perlite and peat moss soil. Not sure what the problem is.. has any one had this happen before??

I enjoy trying my hand at bonsais, but the leaves of my trees look disproportionately big. None of the books I referred to helped!

i have my first Moonflower plant this year and after the blooming stopped it is now producing these Pear shaped fruits. I assume these are the seed pods. how should they be handled? Dried on the plant or removed before this? Are they poisonous? Thanks for your help!

I have several container pots in which I grow tomato plants on the deck. Unfortunately, this year they all got horrible diseases by the end of the season (black spot?and blossom rot).
Does the dirt transfer disease season to season? Can I reuse it next season or should I toss it out?

Or do I need to keep it in a pot? I want to to grow as big as possible, and it is but I feel it is restricted in a pot. I live in Texas so it very rarely freezes here. I am wondering if I could transfer it to the ground so it can grow very big.

I have a hibiscus bush that remains outdoors year round in Chicago. We've had it for about 4 years and we keep it at about 4-1/2 ft tall. We've only trim it a couple times a year. My questions are... we want to move it so is this a good time or should we wait until the spring and should we be cutting it back every year, if so when is a good time?

There are mushrooms growing in the yard. The yard used to be cow pasture, and is now my yard, but the mushrooms are HUGE! They are growing directly above the septic field, so I am wondering if they are safe to eat. They are all white, about 10" in diameter, maybe 5" tall, and there a about 50 of them.

We've been growing beetroots in our vegetable patch but they're not growing very quickly and some haven't formed - they look just like roots!

Any ideas on how to give them a boost?

It shed a large branch recently and the tree is becoming unsafe. Neubours have sheds near the tree so it could be dificult to fell without damage.

Finally what the best way to fix holes that have been dug and when should I reseed them????
PS Killing or getting rid of the dog is unfortunatly not an option LOL.

I dug this up out of the soil from under a fern.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/14526801@N05/

The photo shows 2 parts of the "shell" which are soft and jelly like. The mesh like ball was folded up inside the shell and popped out of a hole which had broken in the shell. The ball was very delicate and covered in brown slime and has since dried up to virtually nothing. The ball looked like one of those plastic collapsible balls made of linkages.

Any one know what this was? Was it a fern seed?

Our front lawn is being taken over by these tiny little white and purple flowers. They are not clover or morning glories, rather their petals look like tiny daisy petals. When we mowed they came back with a vengeance! Help!
