Hello everyone, I wanted to share some photos of my plants. Please excuse the mess, I'm still planting and weeding and doing yardwork now that the weather warmed up:D My favorite bushy plant, Bottlebrush: I really like the fast growing habits and multiple blooming throughout the year this...

I picked these flowers up from Lowes clearance section for $2. Any idea what they are?

I would be bummed too Journey, I hope you get some to root again! I got some rooting hormone today so maybe when I try it they will grow:) Also I would like to know about the leaves as well,( I didn't even know to remove them).

You guys are right, my kidney beans probably didn't produce any beans (or my chickens likely got to them when I was not around). I am glad to hear that they are not likely to cross with each other(I learn something new every day). I just assumed they did without doing any research because no...

Great advice everyone! I read the linked thread, I had no idea about the rose fruits! I've never seen them on my bushes. The one I wanted to cut does look like a grafted plant so I think i'll try to grow a few clippings from different ones to see if I can do it:)

Last Spring I planted some kidney beans and some pinto beans. When I collected the pods, I only found pinto beans from both plants. I think the two cross pollinated because I only got pinto beans from the plants grown. Is that possible? If it is, is there two beans that I can grow that will not...

Is it possible to grow a rose from a cutting? If not what is the best way (if any)? I have a bush with a nice orange rose and would like to try to grow one from it.

After a quick search I found they are self fertile so that should not be a problem. I read a bit about grafting and I think I may just give it a try on this tree with one that produces fruit. Maybe that will possibly fix it:/

For 2 years now, my kumquat tree has not produced any fruit or flowers, but developes plenty of thorns. Every Winter it loses its leaves and comes back the following spring from the base of the plant(The previous stems die/dry up.) Is there a way to get my kumquat tree to produce fruit...

Hi everyone, thanks for the ideas and links. I already have some diatomaceous earth, so I'll try that first and see if it works. I already try to drown them out, but they just move to another planting area and eventually make it back to the starting point. marshallsmyth, I just started keeping...

I'm having problems with ants making their mounds in my flower beds and around the new plants I just put in the ground. Is there something I can use to control them that will not harm my birds? (sorry if this is the wrong section for this)

Cool little greenhouse! I've been wanting to make one so I can plant early.

I would never think someone would attempt to lift a full cement planter! They're heavy enough without the dirt. Maybe you'll find them again.
