"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,...
Margie, The point of removing bottom leaves/branches is to prevent soil borne diseases (dirt with the disease hits the leaves during watering or...
Cheryl, Old roses (antique or own-root roses, not grafted hybrid teas) don't require a lot of fertilizer, especially in our climate. If there is...
Happy Birthday! I hope it is the beginning of a green, growing year!
Cheryl girl, I've said it before and I'll say it again--you have a green thumb all the way up to your elbow! That is a lovely rose, with a lovely...
Our garden features a cross-toed gargoyle. What does that say about me? I also have engraved rocks that say "welcome" and have a sun on them, and...
EJ, there are nurseries with worse-looking plants than yours! You have an impressive array of really healthy transplants there. Let us know when...
Simply lovely! The one thing I miss here in Texas is having a true spring--we seem to go directly from winter to early summer. Seeing your lovely...
Oh, what a nice Mothering Day gift! That nursery sure knows how to treat customers well. Your hyacinths will thrive and bloom for you next...
Lovely! After the winter you just endured, you and the "hungry dude" deserve all the best spring can offer.
You will have a great garden there! By all means use the fence, either as a trellis for things like cucumbers and pole beans, or for hanging...
Jerry, I am sure you and Captain understand what you said. It's Greek to many of us less mechanically inclined. "Starting relay, solenoid"? If I...
Captain, I do hope your lawn tractor is up and running soon, with no more difficulties. We have an extra rat snake in the barn and I'll ship...
Eileen, the scent is very light, but also very pleasant. Toni, if it weren't for barbed wire, I'd have to take an emergency trip to Wal-Mart to...
