Is there a way to tell what kind of rose this is? I do not know anything abut roses. This is at the edge of my property and was here when we moved here 17 years ago.

Where it is located, I had to have planted it there. I have another purple one in another place with a white one next to it. DS took a picture for me and said it was a delphinium and it is not. What can it be?

I have some Nagasaki Late Chinese Cabbage ready to harvest. Nobody is going to eat it except for me. I am planning on freezing it and eating soup with it this winter. Should I cut it off at the base and let it regrow back? Will it grow more leaves? Should i just pull the plant and plant...

Last year I bought 2 perennial baby's breath plants. I gave one to DD and I planted one. This spring her plant is huge and mine is very small. I read they do not need much water and like well drained soil. I dug mine up and put in soil that i think is less fertile and drains good, but my...

I have never grown green onions and I never bought them in the store. All I ever knew about them as a kid was rarely my mother would have them on the grocery list and I remember my dad and her eating the white bulb and not the green and I am pretty sure the green was thrown away. I got married...

DD went to get a free bush and the lady does not know the name, but said it gets pink flowers.

DD's father-in-law told her that now is the time to plant onions. What would he be planting this time of year?

I went to buy garlic to plant and it was all bought up but a few left that are really dried. They are purple garlic, kind of brown and hard. Are they too old to plant?

This bird showed up this morning and has been hanging around. I saw it under the bird feeder and got this picture.

My Excalibur book says to dehydrate onions at 155 and my friend has a newer book I think than mine and it says 125. I look on line and I see people saying 155. I am sure I probably did dehydrate on 155 in the past, but it seems high. Did they change the temperature in a newer book?

I am going to get an area ready for fall. I want more radishes and lettuce, but still too early I think for radishes? What about Swiss chard, is it too late to start? I am going to try spinach AGAIN and when would be a good time to start that? I am thinking of starting some bok choy inside...

Back in March manure was added to DD's box. It is supposed to be a year old and probably is. I told my SIL to put it on the bottom and the dirt from his other boxes last year on top, but he did not do that. He did not understand but it was pretty much on top and mixed some. A few days later...

Is copper fungicide safe to use? I read it can built up in the soil. How much would you have to use to cause harm? I was just going to use it on tomato leaves if I started to get any problems.

What daytime and nighttime temperatures do you plant your tomatoes and peppers outside? I need to harden mine off, but it has been too cold to even put them outside the greenhouse. Tonight is going to be 31 and then we have 30s and getting to 40s for lows for several weeks and highs will...

I have dehydrated a lot of things, but not carrots. I have not dehydrated anything for a few years. I bought 10 pounds of carrots and I was going to cut up and freeze, but thinking about dehydrating them. My book says to blanch and when they are finished dehydrating they will be rubbery, but...

DD got this from somebody and she wants to know what it is?

I bought a sack of this by mistake and I want to start some flower seeds. Will flowers grow in this potting mix? Should I mix it with some other potting soil?

I am a little worried about this. I took a hoe out there and it is pretty wet, maybe from weather and not fresh fresh, but lots of straw. I have got truckloads of horse or cow manure before and used in compost bins and let break down a long time. If I side dress kale, it will be a long time...

I have usually just put seeds in the ground and I put cucumbers off usually until last so I can get plants in the ground. I almost planted cucumber seeds today but I think it is too cold. I am thinking about starting them in cups. I would like to get cucumbers before the summer is half over...

I was to have delivered I thought 2 year old manure, but they called today and said it is not breaking down good and is about 6 months to 12 months and has some straw in it. Will this hurt to plant in now?
