Would you just dead head and tidy for the on coming winter.

Or wait and sever pruning in Springtime before new grow appears.

our soil is very thick and tough...almost like gunky oil buildup in your car. We would like to start planting stuff in our flower beds, but it seems impossible because of this tough soil. i figure we just need to dissolve the soil.

I want to get a Butterwort (Carnivorous plant), but I don't want to get one unless I know how to keep it alive.

Any advice?

I am doing my science fair project on plant growth with different colors of sun light. I am putting transparency film over the leaves and seeing which grows best.

I don't know what plant to choose though. It needs to be leafy and healthy and i need to be able to not kill because i kill everything i grow without even trying

I heard they were to deter dogs from peeing on the grass... but my dog peed right on the container. What purpose does it serve?

I have seen evidence (pooh, holes in food bags) plus I have seen the little buggers. I want to get rid of them but I have both a dog and kitten, plus two small children. So I can't use mice poison, sticky paper traps, or mice traps for fear that either the kids or animals will get into it. I need to find some other ways, becides waiting for the kitten to track them down and kill them. Please help with ANY and/or ALL suggestions.

Obviously I killed the Kalanchoe flower (possible overwatering). Anyway, I would like to re-pot the plants so I can give them more individualized care. Can you tell me what types of plants they are and if I may plant them together with another plant? Also, if you know what type of light they prefer, that would also be appreciated. Thanks!

My little boy brings me flowers (usually weeds like dandelions, but it's the thought) almost every day from the yard. I would like to keep some of these because they mean a lot to me. Any ideas on how to keep them from falling apart so I could put them in an album or something?

I have just removed a climbing rose and rambler both 15 years old ( a lot of heavy work).All branches and foliage is removed and I am left with two stumps of roots no more than 10 ins high. I do not want them to re grow--any chance of this? or can I do something else to make sure they are dead.

I live in a tropical climate. The community I live is has alley ways behind the homes for utility - trash collection and such. Now we just moved into this home and removed a short chain link fence and installed a 6' tall wooden fence. There is enough space beyond the back side (facing out) of the fence to park a car. There is a concrete encasement, about 5' X 4' X 3' high, to keep the trash can in on non collection days. There is about 2 feet between my fence and the back of the concrete.
I just noticed the other day how easy it would be for anyone to stand on the concrete and jump over my fence. I would like to plant something there to make that very difficult. The space to plant is about 5 feet wide and 2 feet deep. Aesthetics are somewhat important, but it is in the back. Primarily the purpose is to block that area from a person who wishes to climb.

Thanks for any answers or suggestions.
