A curious dog might be the culprit..? My dog is attracted to the smell of garlic, but won't eat it; she'll just play with it.

^^ Yes. My neighbor lost two curly willow trees when Irene blew threw. I've never seen him look so relieved about losing trees (he use to be a landscaper). However, much to his dismay, the few branches that remained on the ground, after the decapitated trees were hauled away, re-rooted! Now, he...

My money is on the squirrels, sorry to say. Do your plants look like any of the pictures on this blogs? -> http://www.backyardfarming.blogspot.com/2010/07/whodunnit.html If so, squirrels are the culprits. Try spraying your plants down with diluted hot sauce. Just remember to reapply it after it...

looks a lot like the Candlelight Peppers that I grew last year. They were kinda hot & had a complex spicy after taste, but were still edible (made an excellent addition to a chili);

how safe is it to let animals, lets say goats, graze on grass over a septic system's leech field?

In the past, I have thought of a possible remedy for an overheated greenhouse, albeit a crazy idea. What about popping an air conditioner in there and only running it on the highest temp (I think ac's go up to 79 degrees F) during the hottest hours of the day? :hu Now all I need is an actual...

I have a bunch of daffodil bulbs to giveaway. I can only offer them to the first 10 people who post that they want them (just to be sure I have enough). Then I will give you my address, where you will send an SASE (Self-Addressed Stamped Envelope). It doesn't matter what size you send me (as...

Woot! :ya I can't offer any suggestions, however, I have tons of daffodil bulbs if you want any. :watering

Hyssop takes forever to germinate. Well maybe not forever, but at least 14 days. ;)

According to the page in my Southern Exposure Seed Catalog, referencing Cold Season Gardening (pg 87): (Key for the following items ~ Type - the lowest degree the plant can handle) Broccoli - 28*F, Leaves may be able to handle 15*F, but heads are more sensitive. Cabbage - 20*-25*F, If damaged by...

I had this problem a few years ago, however, things changed for the better after an acquaintance gave me a helpful sprig of advice. I was first told to start them inside early, which for me is early February, and not to baby them (that way only the fittest survive). Then, about two - three weeks...
