You live in a wonderful neighborhood. It is great that people care about each other enough to help improve this woman's quality of life.

Thanks for the list. I don't know if I still have time to pick up some of these plants this year, but this gives me a great selection of what to save for during the winter mo nths.

Thanks!

I do fairly well with my houseplants. This is my first year ever trying outdoor gardening, though, so only time will tell how well my talents transfer.

I think drip systems or soaker hoses are the best way to water plants. I see no reason to have water shooting up in the air the way it does when using a sprinkler.

I love Lilac Bushes. I don't have any of my own, yet, but I am thinking about placing them in the spot that isn't close to the house.

The only thing I don't like about Lilacs is that bees find...

There may be some fertilizers you can use while watering the plants. Since they have these for indoor plants, I assume they would have them for outdoor plants as well.

It might be easier to have people use ash trays outside, or to remind folks to make sure their cigarette is out and disposed of safely. It almost sounds like manager chose this unpleasant mulch on...

We were lucky enough to find some inexpensive wine barrels, already cut in half of course, so we snagged them. I am going to use them as planters in our shady back yard.

You might have to build a raised bed, line it with weed cloth, then fill it with nutrient rich soil. Otherwise, soil amendments to create a better growth environment might just wash away into the...

Another option is to choose flowers from your garden that dry well.

Hang them up in in an area with good ventilation and dry them, then spray them with preservative and stick them in a cool vase!...

I don't know where I saw this, but I believe there is a "wick" system whereby you run a wet wick from a bucket into the soil of the potted plant or plants. Water creeps up the wick based on the...

I imagine that the types of plants would depend on your location. Black Eyed Susans, Asters, and Coneflowers are said to draw butterflies

Here is a site that has more information!

I have found two sets of instructions on outdoor plants . One is just the regular dig a hole and insert plant, and a second set with miracle grow products for al most each step along hte way.

Cut the stems at an angle and place them in water containing a dissolved aspirin! This usually works well for my flowers.

Are you turning under existing plants that have gone dormant?

I guess there are many ways to take care of a garden.

This sounds like the better method. It not only saves time and effort, but you also don't risk damaging the roots of your favorite plants.

I have lived in homes where peach trees produced great fruit, but squirrels would ruin most of it! I wonder how he would have felt if partially eaten fruit had been on his car?

LOL

Planting right next to your house holds moisture right next to your foundation so it is generally not a good idea, regardless of the type of plant!

Pots with strawberries can be nice if you have a balcony or small outside area.

The Garden Weasel is really popular with some of my neighbors. It works in small spaces and requires no gas or electricity.

Maybe taking a little off the top would do the trick. It might be that those top branches are just really old!

If you can't kill a greass you sometimes have to sterilize the soil, preventing anything from growing in it for several years.

Not ideal, but it may take care of the problem.

Deer can jump fairly high but it is the chance they don't make it all the way over that could be a real problem.

Deer get caught up in all sorts of things because they tend to panic. If the deer...

Salt added to the water might do well, but then you have salted the soil so that it may be difficult for plants to grow there for some time to come. It might also have a bad affect on any plants...
