How Many Seats Does A Minivan Have

Answers: As a disclaimer, I have only gardened in New England. Saxifrage might trail over the edge; I haven't grown it myself. (Typically, it's my family that's a little off the mark here.) Anyway, generally you DON'T prune this until after it's bloomed,...

Answers: This is an excellent question! The various zones and PH listings in PlantFiles give you a range where the plant can successfully grow. This will help keep from having to use so much additional soil.

I do this once a week until the problem clears up. Once branches are long enough, tie them to the trellis to get the plant going in a vertical direction. Is the fig currently on your screen porch, or in some other slightly protected place?

Soil temperatures are warmer than in the spring, and the plant will have several months to settle in before the heat of summer begins. If you're not familiar with its appearance, it can look like a problem.

Butterflies also visit certain plants and trees to lay eggs. In the first year or two after the fire, there were probably a lot of lupines and various poppies and mariposa lilies in the area.

First of all, protect your plants from harsh wind. It could mean putting a tomato cage over it and wrapping in burlap. Answers: The term ‘winter protection' means to give your plant just a little help to survive a harsh winter.

Maybe you can find more organics to add to the garden. When the rose hips ripen, they'll usually be red or orange, sometimes yellow. They cross two different roses and grow out the resulting seed.

Occasionally we come across a question that we find particularly interesting or intriguing. Then I know it's time to get serious again and remove leaves, branches sometimes, and spray again.

While It isn't exactly a bush, the vines are much shorter than regular-vined melons. Your little squash should grow and mature. If space is an issue, you might try trellising smaller, icebox varieties.

(Bone meal is an old standby amendment for bulb planting as it adds a dose of phosphorous, but it has very little of the other nutrients needed.) Good fertile soil under the bulb is the daffodils best source of energy.

It creates a windbreak and protects the roots at the same time. The only thing that ever stops my daylilies bloom has been drought. If too big, it can easily have some tips cut off and rooted for a new plant.

Several nurseries on this list have reviews indicating that they might be what you are looking for. Ourforum is perfect for questions on starting plants from seed. I have not seen it in local nurseries, so mailorder may be your only choice.Now that you're...

As leaves decompose, as nature intended, they provide root protection and nutrients. The magnolia is also an iconic tree in the U.S. South--especially the Southern magnolia, a tall evergreen landscape tree with large, broad and leathery leaves.

Here is an example:Only two days before my daughter's wedding in June, the bride-to-be appears on my doorstep with tears streaming down her soft face. I also wanted to add some style to the garden, so I jotted down a concrete birdbath, a rustic birdhouse,...

There are many types of flower gardens and no two are ever quite the same. Flower beds can also be changed as time goes on or as space permits. Then carefully lift out or peel back the sod.

Is it empty and unappealing? Reshape these beds and borders. Curved garden shapes also look more natural and are much more pleasing to the eye than sharp edges and straight lines.If possible, extend the living space of your home by enlarging or addingareas,...

The cinder blocks that you buy in the store today are actually concrete blocks and totally safe.Unless you're using antique cinder blocks, there should be no reason to worry, especially when cinder block gardening for vegetables.

I have a Loropetalum that I purchased earlier this year that I've kept in its pot all summer, waiting until it was cool enough for me to prepare the planting area. My guess is that it would appreciate a bigger pot.

They should have a half day of sun and be watered and fed like any conventional garden plant. In places colder than zone 9, amaryllis are sometimes grown in the ground in the summer and potted up and brought indoors for the winter.

Gardening is both art and science, with some luck and skill thrown in for good measure. You must know that quince needs lower than 44F temperature conditions for flowering. I don't think you need to protect your daffodils when you replant.

My coneflowers emerge with little purple leaves and shoots, but quickly turn green as sunlight gets their photosynthesis factories going. Corn and beans should be direct sown after the soil warms in the spring and chances of frost are over.
