I planted a basil in a container on my balcony and at first it was growing well. But then came the monsoon season, it's been raining almost everyday and now all that's left of my basil is dry woody stems, all the leaves browned and fallen off. Is the plant dead? Has it drowned in too much rain? Should I cut back the woody stems, and if so will it grow back? Or should I just pull out the whole thing and start over?

i am looking to buy presents for my whole family on a teenager's budget. my mother likes to cook with herbs and i was wondering if this would satisfy her needs as far as cooking goes and if it would be an easy gardening experience for a working mom (is it easy to grow). i live in NJ, my house faces north and my back porch is shaded by trees. is it able to be grown in a window? planting on the front porch or in the ground is a no go because of the relentless deer, it would have to be in a pot or container. im not even sure what im getting myself into.. where would i find this herb garden kit, it would have to be a brick and mortar store.

Modest home, in North Dakota. House faces the street and back has an alley. Garage is in the back of the house, I have a good size deck but no yard to speak of. There is about six to eight feet between me and my neighbors to the left and the right of my house. There is about 40 feet of front yard. Right now I have an ash tree in the front yard, and grass. I think the ask tree will grow too big for the space. I need lots of ideas! I'm trying to get some curb appeal.

What is a good way to plant them? just scatter them out into a big bed or in rows or bunches? I live right on the gulf coast it is 8pm rightnow and 70 degrees out side so I think it will be ok to go ahead and plant and maybe the bugs wont eat up the greens.

My sister's Neighbor is complaining that my 9 yr old niece makes to much noise in the backyard during the day. She also complained and demanded that my sister take down the playset that sits above the fence... ALL playsets sit above fences, every other neighbor around my sister's house has one. The kids in the yard in the back of my sister's climb theirs and wave to her all the time, they are not hurting anyone! Any how, can this woman do anything legal to make my sister take the playset down?

I have a very steep hill behind my house that consists of mostly thin, rocky soil. I would prefer to plant something that is pretty (flowers?) that is hardy and covers the ground well. I am thinking about a variety of phlox or possibly ivy. Thre is absolutely no shade in this area. I need to do something with this slope. It's ugly and a pain to tend. I was hoping to plant something decent and then weed wack it a couple times a year. Thanks for your feedback.

I'd like to get one for my balcony and keep it in a pot. But will it get as big as a tree? Or will it stay a good size for a large pot?

My daughter has put up a NATURAL christmas tree, which has had its roots sawn off. As we have always had an artificial one (Environmentally friendly?) If it had roots I would have watered it......what does one do with one without roots?

If you do water it, like a plant, I imagine, how much, and how often, is there anything one can do to keep the needles from dropping out before Christmas, I have visions of a skelital tree covered with decorations by Christmas day! HELP!!!

Okay, horticulturists and master gardener extraordinaires, I oversee management of a (100 plant) rose garden that is in the shape of an octagon. The center of the octagon has a pool with a fountain, but this is irrelevant. The beds outline the octagon and measure approx. 4' wide by 20+ feet long as they bend themselves around the perimeter of the shape. The garden has a very formal feel to it and it showcases an analogous color scheme of purples, reds, (and gray) shrub, floribunda, grandiflora, and rugosa roses with a center bed (around the fountain) planted with Lavandin, Sedum spp., annuals, etc. to compliment the roses. Okay, so can you picture it yet? Anyway.. I'm looking for a plant that can tolerate zone 5-6, somewhat dry conditions, and makes a very neat and tidy border along the bed lines. So far I've thought the following may work: Teucreum spp., Thymus vulgaris 'Rose Scented' (how Disney World), and Santolina spp., etc.Any amazing ideas? Thanks for your help in advance
