I have a vine growing that I did not plant. It does not seem to be a climber and there are no others like it around.. Any Ideas? (excuse my dirty hands :P)

I kinda took it from the neighboring house when they got foreclosed on... Its a good thing I did cause they went and tore everything out of it anyways... Here is its first bloom. I did not notice any smell from it. Anyone have any idea?

So I did a little experiment and put goat poop in 2 of the six Bell Peppers I have. They are still in the 6 pack containers (I cant seem to get my SO to help me dig the garden....). The 2 with the poop have grown much taller than the others but are a lighter green. The couple of the ones...

I planted about 50 in Jiffy starters and only had 4 come up (2 died) then I planed some directly in the soil awhile ago and still NONE have come up... Are they hard to start from seed or what?!

How big of a pot do I need? Should I keep it on my covered pourch?

I had some double knock outs that sat in a pot all winter and a few of them looked rather dead.. I pulled them out of the pot and looked at the roots and there were some white fuzzier ones in there so I just decided to go ahead and plant them. Also I have the mexican petunias that still...

:D I have 3 rabbits, 2 goats, and 9 chickens. They poop. :lol: Now i know chicken poop its very hot and should be composted... Can I just go "rake out" the rabbit and goat pellets and throw them under the mulch around the plants? What about making compost tea for the goat and rabbits poops...

Does anyone have a picture of the full plant Columbine? When I google I only get the actual flower :rolleyes: I would like to know what they look like from "far off". I get the idea they are more of a stemmy plant with a tiny little flower at the top....

My step mother gave me huge clumps of Red Hot Pokers because they were taking over her mailbox area. She told me to just divide them up and plant them where ever they will get full sun. Do these do better in moist or dryer soil? How big should I divide the clumps? How should I plant them? (do...

Getting anxious! :D I have SO many seedlings they are taking over my house! lol Ive read the last frost dates for my zone are February 28 to March 30. I looked at the monthly forcast and it doesnt show anything in the 30s for the rest of the month. Weve already had 2 snows this year (which we...

Today I was putting some carrots seeds on some newspaper and glue. Since the foxglove seed is SO small I decided to put some on some "seed tape" also. Does foxglove work on seed tape? Should I cover it very lightly with soil or just set it out and weigh down the sides of the newspaper? Should...

I live in zone 7 maybe zone 8.. Depends on who you talk to or what map you look at :rolleyes: I planted Mexican Petunias last year and they did great. But now they are brown and look a little mucky. Is this what they do over the winter? I didnt mulch them :hide Could they re-seed themselves...

I guess this is the right place? I have a lot of seeds that need to be started in furrows. Butterfly bush, Bellflower, etc. I asked a guy at home depot if they had anything and he gave me a long trey that collects the excess water from a planter. $4. I dont really want to spend $4 for every...

I just bought some Canterbury Bells and I have some Bellflower Complete. They bloom early summer. I dont know what to do about that.. After they bloom are they just going to be a tall green back border, are they going to die off leaving me a big bare spot? What could I plant infront of them...

Its been SO wet here! I dont think my soil has dried up since fall! I want to plant my early spring garden (carrots, lettuce, onion, beets, etc) in a grassy area Id need to work. I read to not work soil when wet because it can cause drainage problems. For most of these I would like to put them...

I was wondering.. if I were to build a trellis over my driveway to hold up japanese wisteria (spring blooming) could I grow morning glories over the top of the top of the wisteria then just rip out what I can of the morning glories after they are spent?

I just dont think Im getting it.. For example.. Along my driveway and sidewalk leading to my porch Id like to see SOMETHING during all the seasons. But I feel like I can only pick 1 season! :( I dont know how to plant for spring. I only know (very limited amounts) about planting for summer...

Im starting to get an itch! MUST. PLANT. SOMETHING! lol Ive ALWAYS wanted a sunflower screen. I have a perfect area all picked out :D My neighbors are pretty close. Its to the point where I dont even want to go outside because, there they are! The people just give me the heebie-jeebies. So I...

Along the front of my porch I have mexican petunias Im wondering if I should plant something infront of them? If so.. what? Last year in the annual bed I keep on the side of the sidewalk that leads to the front porch I planted salvia in the front, cleome in the back, and on the corner where...

(excuse the mess.. it was spring cleaning for the garage) So what you are looking at is a separate garage, behind it, and beside it. What I would like to do (because Ive grown VERY lazy :rolleyes:) is put a silkie chicken coop/run from the next fence post from the gate and bring it out to the...
