i have some green beans that have yellow leaves on them on the bottom and some shrivled up leaves on top can i take my pruner and cut them off? can i take my pruner and cut the tomatoes and cukes as well?
i have already planted my beans, cukes and tomatoes and they are growing- can i still mulch them down with straw?
how to i keep stupid rabbits out of my garden i have a fence around it and they seem to somehow get in. . . the fence is like chicken wire but its alot tougher. any scents they dont like? objects?
i have found some like nats and other small grey bugs on my plants- what can i do to kill them. i have also seen some laddie bugs. any home remadies?
what works best to kill weeds- i tried vinegar and it work! anything else? i hoe and use vinegar.
anybody know of a good way to make a home-made trellis for my tomatoes?
i jumped around from sub to sub- hope you got most of it!

Other than removing diseased foliage (and it can be pinched off, you don't need a pruner) you really don't need to prune beans or cukes. With tomatoes, remove the suckers (those are the little branches that grow in the crotch of bigger branches) for larger fruit.
For rabbits, I've heard that scattering dog hair in the garden keeps them away. I've also heard peeing around the perimeter will also work, but I have not ever tried these. The bunnies tend to stay out, I think they have enough clover in the lawn to eat. You can also get predator urine (fox, wolf) through hunting supply firms.
For tomatoes, I use stakes, tie the stems to the stakes, and tie more as they grow.

no pruning but nip out the tomato sucker shoots. improves fruiting. more water for beans and some fertiliser. use blood and bone meal to fertilise and that will also repel the rabbits. they dont like the smell. add some potassium as well B&B doesnt have potassium. mulch away take care when putting under the vines and stems so as not to snap them. mulch will help with weeds. use stakes or bamboo sticks tied together. dont kill the lady bugs good predators.
