Hi all--
I am anxious to try growing some citrus indoors. I'm an experienced indoor gardener, and one of my sunrooms is ideal for citrus with respect to growing requirements. I have space for 2-3 dwarf-sized trees. But-- I'm looking for some suggestions on specifically which citruses to grow. Other than kumquat, we use them all, but I'm seeing several varieties of each as I'm doing a bit of research. I'd also like suggestions on where to buy them. None of my local greenhouses carries them (boring greenhouses!), so I'll need to order on-line.
Thanks!

Good Afternoon,
We are building a deck in our backyard and I am going to have to relocate 4 clematis that I have had for about 10-15 years. They are soooo gorgeous when in bloom and I dread losing them.
I live in Cleveland which I believe is Zone 5. When would be the best time to transplant them and is there any special tips any of you might have?
Thank you,
Donna

Does anyone know what this is?
foliage
flowers and seed balls
Thanks in advance. We picked it for the color of the foliage but the woman at the little nursery where we were couldn't remember the name of it and it wasn't labeled.

I need help with my aloe plant please. I've had this plant for a really long time. It stands about 1 1/2 ft. tall and has about 6 leaves, about 15" long. Most of the leaves are growing out of the top half of the plant. The leaves that were on the bottom half have dried up and look like they should fall off but they don't. They just shrivel up and hang there. I've tried pulling them off but they are just don't come off easily. I'd like to cut the plant down and re-root it. Is this possible? If yes, how to I go about it?

Here's a recipe that my cooking class teacher gave me:
No Bake Cookies
1. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. Combine in saucepan:
1/2 stick margarine
1/4 cup milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
3. Boil mixture on medium heat for 1 min.
4. Add and stir together
1 1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 tsp. vanilla
yields 18 cookies
Enjoy!

I'm wanting to make some suet feed for the wild birds. Here's a question I origianly asked in the bird forum. (don't need a reciepe....just wondering if the peanut butter is safe)
and can peanut butter go bad if left in extream heat? hubby found a jar of peanut butter in the trunk of the car. it was left there by one of his laborers that rode with him.   . I'd hate to just throw it away if it could be used for something.

hi all, im new to this, hope i did it right! I live in central fla and have a good size ficus on my porch. lately i noticed dozens of leaves folded in at the seam. there were pin size whitish eggs inside. some had hatched to longish black bugs, not much wider than a couple of hairs width. Insecticide didn't seem to stop them. i keep cutting off the affected leaves.
What are they? anyone?

I was just out looking around and noticed my hostas are all looking rather sick! Since I mainly have shade gardens, this is NOT good news! I know we are getting to the raggedy part of summer, but this seems worse than that. Any suggestions??
This one looks like bleach spilled on it - which of course it didn't.
This ones turning brown, leaf by leaf:
And this one's being eaten alive!
Here you can see the same lime green one next to it's healthy neighbor. I'[m stumped!

my daughter asked me to go to her house last night.
they have this bed, in front of their house. full sun over half the day.
here is the whole view
it had hydranges on either side of the indian hawthorn,put in at the same time, same size plants. one grew, one regressed (she dug it up and gave it to me, but i put it in the mcdonald's cup to put in the photo so you could see the size difference.
the only thing i can see that is relevant is that they are both eat up with these holey spots. the smaller one is eat up more than the bigger one.
the roots on the little one didn't look eaten or root bound.
her other question was that the big one hasn't bloomed. it was in bloom when they put it in. i think it will bloom next year, not worried about that, although she is.
i've never had hydrangea trouble before

My husband bought me a surprise pot of cyclamon recently. I actually dont have green fingers but really want to make this pot of plant bloom and grow. It is very pretty when it first came...in a small pot from the florist. Week after week, one to three leaves turn yellow and i pulled them out. Is there anyone who can tell me if this is normal?
I try to water the soil every alternate day and clear away any water the pot is standing in. The new flowers arent as spectacular as those which first came. They were fainter and smaller. And they look totally different from the first flowers. First flowers look like large butterflies. The subsequent buds bloomed with small petals all turned backwards. I wonder if it is meant to be like this. Can anyone advise?
I do use indoor heating and I read that cyclamons depise heating but dont like drafts. So i am totally clueless as where to place the pot. Indoors have heating and outdoors have wind. I love the pot to be indoors where it can be admired.
Is there any cyclamon expert who can help me with the yellowing leaves and poor flower quality?
Thanks!

Hi there. I'm new to the group and I'm trying to find out what is going on with my garden. I friend told me it might be caterpillars, over-watering or lack of nitrogen, and other bugs eating the leafs.
My pumpkinleafs have brown spots all over.
My tomatoes have holes on the leafs and also a light brown color at the edge of some leafs. These edges are dry and curled.
Some of the leafs on my squash are yellow.
Some of the leafs of the melons have hole all over.
Could someone tell me what it could be and how to rid off it? (This is an organic garden, and I live in the hot arid climate of Las Vegas).
Thank you so much!

I'm really looking forward to cooler temps...we've had many days in the 90's and absolutely no rain. All my plants are suffering, some actually died. I love the rustic colors of Fall- oranges, reds, yellows, etc. My favorite Fall plant (for now) is Helenium. I didn't pinch my mums back often enough and they have gotten too tall...they're flopping over. I might go ahead and replace them with new ones this year anyway. But it's still a little too early...will have to wait until mid-September.
