So I planted a blueberry bush three months ago and it is still the same size as it was before. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening because I planted other plants and they grew just fine. By the way I live in San Diego California.

I have an aloe vera plant which is good for minor scrapes and abrasions.

How would I cook it, or would it be best to just suck out the pulp and juice?

If you have not tried it, why not?

I am getting ready to landscape my backyard, and at the Nursery they have palms that are $11.00 dollars but they are smaller sizes... Then they have the bigger ones for more money. What I was wondering how fast do these palms grow in Florida? I wouldn't mind buying a bunch of the small ones if it takes a year to catch up to the $35.00 dollar ones that are bigger? Is it a foot a year or something?

I was at a nursery a couple months ago and saw a variegated Wandering Jew plant like I have never seen before. The inside half of every leaf was pale pink to white and the outer half was dark green. Really neat looking. Unfortunately I was moving out of state the next day so it was not a good time to buy a plant. I haven't been able to find this specific variation on the internet. Any idea?

I'm doing an assignment on potted foliage and flower plants I can't seem to find the answer to, i need information on the following:
- select quality potted plants at the markets
- box/ package & transport the plans to the florist shop
- care for the plants until sold

I've got some books but the information is not what I am looking for..
do you know any good articles or websites would be helpful?

Thank you in advance.

i have to dogs. i want to plant grass in late spring 08. supposedly i can get free wood chips from the city. my backyard has no grass. when it rains, there's mud everywhere. i'm worried about the mushrooms the mulch will produce. will it harm my dogs if they eat it? also, will i have to remove the mulch before planting? i just want something that will keep the mud at bay. my dogs are inside/outside dogs.

I resently moved to Southern Georgia from Wisconsin. I want to plant flowers but am clueless as what to plant. I am only going to be living here for three years so i dont want anything expensive, but at the same time i dont want to replant moreflowers every year. What resonable priced perenials will grow in the sandy soil here? We have really tall pine trees here, I ws thinking of planting something around the base of the tree thats will climb the tree. I was wondering if a climbing rose could be planted there or if maybe i'll have better luck with a humming bird vine. Im also wondering what would work best around hedges to dress them up. The only thing i can think of that would grow well there is periwinkle since the soil is poor and rocky. I want to plant something arond the base of the bird feeder also. Something that attracts butterflys and humming birds. I was thinking butterfly bush but that grows too tall and wide. I need ideas on what to plant, and best time to plant. thanks

Hi, my boyfriend just bought me tulips for the first time, however I have never grown tulips before the directions say blooming Febuary-April Heigh 24in. spacing 6in. Depth 6in. but my question is right now were in November is it too soon to start planting and growing? In our back yard we have a fly infestation going on we have 2 dogs and we keep it very very clean however over the other side of our fence our next door neighbors also have two dogs and they dont clean up after them and they just pile a bunch of junck back there and i'm afraid the bugs will eat my tulips will any of this become a problem? or can I grow my tulips inside my house and I know they need sunlight can I grow them under a regular lamp in the light? Will that work? Thank you so much for your time and if theres anything else you can tell me about tulips it will be a big help.

My lawn is most dying because of the drought conditions in this part of the country. It does not seem rational to water the lawn when year after year there are months of drought conditions. What ground cover could I replace it with?

I am wanting to make a compost bin, til I can buy one.
Does my compost bin need a lid?
Can I use a plastic litter box container with a lid as my compost bin?
What do I do with the compost soil in the winter time?
What should I put at the bottom of my compost bin first?

I think thats all for now :)

i have hastas that are getting really big. when i moved into the house July '06 they looked really nice. This past summer they were huge. The flowers (purple) don't bloom until August or later and then they don't last very long. Now they are done, but look terrible. What should I do with them?

Some are wild and native to Georgia, and I'd like to search and retreive some, but I'd like info on the best way to safely do this first.
