    A Garlic question w/picks

    Yes I think you sometime get single bulb garlics-I'd do like the other poster said and replant them for next years crop. The little brown cloves have me stumped-I've never noticed them like that before. Perhaps their seeds?? Plant them too...

    newbie with a silly question

    Well IMHO, depending on how long you processed the green beans-they should come out already cooked-just heat and serve. And it is normal to have less water in the finished product. Sounds like you guys did a wonderful job! YUM!

    rooting rose cutting-- help please

    Flet-I have rooted several rose cuttings using both hormone treatment and without. I've found the trick is keeping the medium evenly moist but not too wet. Also I have better luck rooting the cuttings outside in pots. But this year I tried just shoving cuttings into the ground in my flower bed...

    I have a huge patch growing in my yard too. It's a very old patch thats I've relocated 2 times in the past 10 yrs. But has existed on the property 5+ yrs. I love it-but I hate the weeds that come up in it and are near impossible to control. What do you do about weed control in your patch...

    finding or making good soil

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have a commercial greenhouse near by and wonder if they do the same. So do they call it their compost pile? Wonder what I would ask for when I approach the owner? It seems like nobody does anything for FREE anymore. I hope I am as successful as you.

    Redbud Tree

    I have seen similar on redbud trees around here. I am uncertain the name of the worm-but the characteristics are the same. They curl the leaves up around larvae, and the tree suffers. While visiting the Purdue greenhouses I noticed they were using some kind of predator bugs to destroy some worm...

    Too late to plant gourds?

    ooooo-I bet it's too late, but...maybe in zone6 I planted gourds right after may 15th, birdhouse/kettle/dipper varieties and read they take 90-150days-especially the larger gourds of course. I'm fearing I should have started them inside before last frost and then set them out. Oh well-live and...

    Lilies... Which kind?

    Yep we call them Tiger lilies if you like them, and ditch lilies if you don't, here in Indiana. They grow like crazy, but I fear that soon people's over-planting of the stella d Oro daylily will have them taking over-I see them babies EVERYWHERE anymore.
