I used to prune very hard (roses)...they just loved it. Onpy trouble was the wet season..too much rain and they gor black spot :(

I do that with mulch and quite heavy since our winters are brutal.My Granmother came over and sprayed my rose bush with garlic water lol.That'll take care of those little green worms she says.I'll let ya all know if it works.

hehehe Your grandmother knows the healthy way....garlic water is great for everything LOLOL
unfortunately it will not make tomatoes taste of garlic hehehehehe

Bernice just a thought put some garlic powder around the plants,than water the roots will soak up the garlic.We put sugar around the plants for a sweeter tomatoe.

ummmm dont think so LOLOL....at the moment i have a YOU BEAUT tomato tree....cost me $14.00aus for 2 seed. supposed to be your beaut and super producing....wil take pics and let you see...:(
Im not hanging by my toenails here folks LOLOLOL

LOL on the garlic just a thought.It did work for my Rose Bush but to late for Roses.I'd love to see pictures of your plants.

is anyone doing these? I've always been facinated with the little trees.

we had one, but you need to be careful on watering them. notice the keyword being had? lol
They are cool lil plants to have, tho.

Do they grow indoors only in Northern Climate or can you plant them outdoors?

I belive you can plant them, after they get to be a certain size.

Thanks scooby! I will look in to that.

Love this board, only just discovered it today.
Will have many questions over the winter for next years plantings!!

your very welcome, Rose!

Musiclover is something on this board that bothers you,or i missed? This is a fun board and i intend to keep it that way.

Foxy Lady, I agree with you and did not mean to start anything. I posted this on every board just to let all members know how I feel. I just wanted everyone to know how I felt about the situation on some of them. Most of the discussion boards have nice people and no abuse there. I did not mean to start anything. I hope everyone will forgive me. I should have kept my mouth shut.

Well one was a total mess all chewed up the others are doing great.Too late for Roses unless you get the hardy ones that bloom during the winter.Those little green worms are finally gone.Were getting down in the 50's at night very short Summer here.We have a very short growing period.Almost time to plant the garlic here.Usually in Oct but were doing it in a couple of weeks.We've had SNOW in Oct before so it's better to get it in early.

Musiclover no harm done i thought i missed something,which usually i don't.

I won't have that on this board one warning only and this is it.

Thank You LJ for removing your post.

Where has it gone or did i miss it?

I was just wondering,if your ever gunna eat that dang icecream! LOL;)

Not after baby comes!! LOL

Your right i woke up this morning and had no feet.lol

Looks like were going to have an early fall here in CNY.

hello.....I love gardening :)
glad i found this

Hi got any ideas for fall?

not really :( i usually just go with the flow...what happens, happens and what dont, dont LOL

I love flowers....all types....especially orange ones :)

Gordons daiseys are orange....and quite easy to maintain:)

my only advice is to NOT rake your leaves till ALL the leaves fall out of the neighbors trees ;)

never heard of gordons daisys LOLOL...I understood you were on holiday?

LOL couldnt sleep:)
Gordons produce a 2 1/2 to 4 inch flower,and will bloom all year if you keep them fertilzed.Time release granules work well :)

even goodle**yep goodle LOL...meant google) hasnt given me an insite as to what Gordons Daisies are :(

Please give me a link

and ummmmmm wanna JW on ice...does wonders for me sleeping wise :)

LOL:) Gerber Daisy's

thanx FoxyLady....I have passed that onto my wife, she will love that :)

That site was sent to me and boy did i print out alot of goodies.It really is worth the trouble to check it out as you see.

I hadn't realised this discussion board existed before today ~ looks interesting.
Re: Orange flowers ~ Mimulus are lovely to look at, and great in hanging baskets, they last quite well and the range of colors, especially in the mixed varieteis, look really pretty.

Hi Nirvana,
Glad you found the board.

Almost time to think about planting garlic in my zone.

you have to be careful with garlic i believe....you cant plant it in the same place 2 years running :(...

they also say to plant it near tomatoes to keep aphids and/or other bugs away??? true or false i do not know :)

never heard of garlic....but marigolds seemto help ;-)

I live in the PNW (Pacific Northwest) and our summer is fading fast. Temps now mild (50-65) with rain every few
days. I have some 2 yr old Aspen trees I would like to transplant. Does anyone know if now is a good time to move them or should I wait until the leaves fall?

We also have a large 4'-5' clump of Black Bamboo that needs to be moved. I am hoping I can move it without killing it---anyone have any experience transplanting Bamboo?

Thanks

Definetly better to wait until leaves have fallen, you can also loosen dirt on 2 sides and then a few days later move the tree, less stress this way.

Garlic can be very hardy, this year i'm doing mine in containers.It really does help the garden since you don't harvest it till fall.Marigolds are great around the garden.

Seven this may help.

In the beginning of this board i told about blueberries.My bush was doing nothing.I looked it up to see what i could do and found it needs acidic soil.Ahhhhhhhhh coffee grounds to the resue.lol....To my surprise it picked right up and bore some fruit this year.
So now i give it a drink of coffee once a week.
