How long have they been in the garden? Broccoli sets a lot of leaves, then gets a tiny head in the center, which grows to an edible size. It takes...
Margie, the easiest raised bed we made was roughly kidney-shaped and with a trench about 4" wide and 6" deep around it as a weed/grass barrier....
Actually, I'd leave the top of stump #2 just as it is. The birds will appreciate a place to perch while they "peruse the menu" and a feeder up...
Mart, I can't swear to it, but I'd bet that the fields are sprayed. I have some squash in a six-pack that are extras, so I'll give them to him...
Since stump #1 has good grain, how about a couple of hanging plants off the stubs, and let the grain show? Stump #2, how about turning it into a...
Wow, Captain, that sounds good! Our church is having its fish fry this Sunday evening. One of the members is a champion fisherman, and provides...
I've printed out all your replies, and will give them to him at church Sunday. I think you have nailed the problem--pollination. He lives...
Don't y'all just love the new emblems next to the forum topics? They're so bright and happy, and makes finding a forum even easier. I swear,...
Toni, when I heard of the storms passing through north Texas and Oklahoma, I immediately thought of you. I'm so sorry you were in the path, and I...
Mowing the first few times is so nice--warm, smell of freshly cut grass, green. For me it starts to pall along about June! You have certainly...
A friend of ours has trouble growing squash. The plants do fine, set blossoms and little squash, and then the 1"-2" squash fall off the plant. I...
Zinnia, If you will look on the Rose forum, second page, there is a posting "Taking a rose cutting" on which I gave detailed, explicit, and...
Well Louise, if I have to choose a style, I go for easy-to-clean! Texas has a bit of every kind of dirt invented, and most of it ends up in my...
"Heavy" pruning of evergreens isn't recommended. At the most 10 to 20% of the plant should be removed at any one time, since evergreens don't...
It's not fair--you have a green thumb AND a potting bench! That is a super potting bench, and pretty, too. Everything is so tidy--clean tools...
How exciting! I've never seen a hatchling quail, but if they are all like Pip, they sure are cute. One has to persevere--can't let the foxes win....
Toni, I did a quick search on Blue Girl, and it can be propagated from cuttings, so it is not grafted. Grafted roses don't come true to their...
Toni, my husband has a sign in his office that says, "My wife told me if I spent any more money on bugs, she'd leave me. I'll sure miss that...
Okay Toni, I just added another rose to my "gotta have" list! That is a lovely rose, and scented, yet! Is it own-root or grafted?
Cheryl, I'd give both a gentle fertilization. The new one can use all the help it can get to settle in, and the moved one, ditto. In this case,...
