Maybe this is a stupid question, but we just moved to California from Maryland and there's a small Japanese maple tree in the front yard. It was pretty and healthy when we got here last month, but now all the leaves have fallen off and it looks kind of sick. Is this just because it's autumn, or could there be something wrong with it?

I have a mini tea rose plant in a pot on my apartment balcony. It did pretty well this summer, but I am wondering what I need to do for the winter. Do I cut it back? If so, how far back? Do I need to cover it?
Some advice would be wonderful.
Thank you

Hi guys. Recently bought a clay pot about 2 feet in depth and 1 foot in width, with a couple drainage holes in the bottom. Where the pot will be will get no direct sunlight, but it's still outside in the shade. Anyone have any good ideas on what I could grow outside, in the wintertime in the shade? Virginia temperatures here so in winter probably looking at average highs of 35-45 in the wintertime, lows 25-35. Thanks for any help. Seeya!

I got the seeds from the dead flowerheads off the balcony, but i just wondered if it was possible to grow them indoors over the winter time, and will they flower?

Thanks.

If one was a sustenance farmer, what crops--and how much of each crop should they plant (in a Los Angeles / southern California type climate)? Also--how many people would be able to live entirely off of those crops? Is that sufficient nutrition, or would one need sheep or chickens on their land? How many would they need and what would one need to plant for the chickens/sheep if they needed them? And if they had sheep and chickens, would it be sufficient to drink the milk and eat the eggs or would one have to slaughter them as well and eat them? Would rain water be sufficient for the crops--and a well for the people/animals? If they were to have a german shepherd as a guard dog, what would they need to feed it--would some chickens need to be slaughtered daily for the dog, or would it eat eggs, or what? If they had a horse, what would they need to plant for it, and how much of it?

Thanks!

Hey Y'all, I just got a new winter and summer squash recipe in which the directions say to pierce and cook the squash in the microwave until barely tender. I'm using a butternut squash in the recipe, but I've never cooked one in the microwave and I need to know how long it might take to get to barely tender. Has anyone ever nuked a squash? How long do you think it would take? I know how to cook them in the oven, but I think this is supposed to sqeed the process because the recipe is to saute afterward. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I'm somewhat agoraphobic, and though I love the people I'm sending the arrangements to, I can't go visit them without feel trapped and anxious.

I need to arrange for someone else to deliver them. Sometimes my husband will, but he's really busy. Sometimes the arrangements just sit on my counter and die.

What should I do?

I have a chain-link fence behind my house and I want to cover it up with ivy. However, it's been difficult looking for a species of ivy that clings onto the chain-link fence. Anyone know of a species that can do just that?

I moved into my home 4 years ago. All of my trees were planted at that time. The trees were planted at a depth shallow enough to where my tree rings are above regular ground level (maybe because I live in the DFW area in Texas and the soil is thick clay?). Now I am ready to let my grass grow up to the trunk of trees so my trees look more natural and like they have been there all along. Can I just taper the rings down to ground level and let the grass grow over....or will that cut into the root ball of the tree?
