I have 4 yellow mums in their pot. The blooms all turned brown already! I think the problem was that Ithe spot that I had them in didn't really get sun, so they are now moved to a sunnier spot. Is it too late for them this season? :(

They need to be able to endure direct sun, grow no taller than 6 inches, and bloom either year round or yearly.

Okay, so I have asked a few questions on here about getting my christmas cactus to bloom. Well, I had it outside this summer as our summers are nice and I put it in the shade. The plant was growing like crazy, little pink leaves were sprouting but still no flower. So, I heard about putting it in total darkness and I did, I put it in the closet. Well I had it in there about a week and I checked AND I have a bloom. It hasn't opened yet, but my question was should I start watering it now or putting it out of the shade? Or just leave it? I can't wait to see it!!!

I'm purchasing a home (closing on it in 5 days), and I would like to know what is the easiest way to get rid of/kill english ivy? It's covering aprox 1/2 of the front yard. . . and its UGLY! Just to give you some background info. . . this house is a flip, and it will be back for sale by april/may 2008. With that said this is something i need to take care of ASAP (doing the outdoor landscaping hopefully before the first snowfall). Is there something that would work good to kill this or should i just by pass that and dig it out? I've never had to deal with this before, and any suggestions would help.

I have a huge oak tree in my front yard and thousands of acorns. I have a fireplace and just wondered what would happen if I burned them.

Callery pears (Bradford, Cleveland, Aristocrt) are indeed beautiful, early to flower, almost disease free, great summer and late autumn color. Fast growing, too. But I think they're too common in the midwest. The great old neighborhoods have mature hardwoods: red oaks, pin oaks, sugar maples, etc. Do you think homeowners in new subdivisions should plant more hardwoods? Even though payback is 15 -20 years away?

I have Hybrid Teas, Floribounda and a Climber. I'm really new at this. Had many beatles this summer. What about pruning at this time. I'm in Zone 5. Thank you.

of all vegetalbes, only two can live to produce on their own for several growing seasons. all others must be re- planted every year.

Hi- The seed pods of my Heavenly Blue Morning Glories are still on the soft side with white seeds inside.
These came up wild late summer in an excuvators topsoil. I was, and am deliriously happy as I rememember these from my youth.
I have 'wild' pink m.g.'s and their pods are brown, crispy and full of black seeds.
My neighbor gave me some heirloom morning gloriy seeds and they are just now blooming and they are BLUE, too!! Oh happy day! ( It doesn't take much ) How can I preserve these seeds and/or roots for years to come?

I bought some Malibu landscape solar lights. I installed them yesterday, and they were working in the evening. Today it rained and some of them stopped working. Or better they are flickering. Light goes on and off.
Could the rain have effected the lights or do they still need more time to charge?
Please help because I am ready to return them. So frustrated.

We will be having a tree planting ceremony and somewhere I had read that you can throw a fish in the hole dug before putting in the tree instead of something else (fertilizer? tree food?). If this does help the tree grow, then is there a specific kind of fish or does it have to be treated with something? I am thinking kids helping us plant the tree, might have fun with this part - either that or we put something else in the hole before planting like messages or their time capsules. What do you think would help the tree & be fun for kids? Thanks

It is a very small automotive bulb that is also used for outside lights. The glass is so shattered that I can't grasp it with pliers. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have wanted to be a landscape designer for a long time. I had to go to the most affordable school in my state though. This school does not offer Landscape design or anything like that. I asked the school if I would be able to become a landscape designer with major: Agri Business / minor: Horticulture. I do have a work study job with the schools master gardener who also designs the landscapes on campus. I am getting a lot of experience working with her that I can add to what I already know about landscaping. I have also been drawing landscape designs for fun since I was in high school and gardening since I was real little. I have a lot of experience with plants and I know a lot about plants. This is the only school that I can got to so I hope this major and minor will help me. Thanks to all who take the time to read this and answer. I also want to own my own nursery.
