I received this philodendron as a gifgt. Should it be yellow? What variety is it? Thanks!

So, I went ahead and bought some seeds to plant. I looked at all the growing, sowing, watering info, etc. and have come up with a plan of where to put what. So, my bed it 4x8 feet and I have six veggies to plant. I have tomatoes, snow peas, green beans, leaf lettuce, spinach, and carrots. Based on what the seed packets are telling me I plan to plant them in that order, back to front. I'm curious about the tomato and peas though. They should end up growing to about the same height but I think maybe the tomatoes should go in front of the peas for better sun exposure. Does this sound good to you? Thanks so much!

I bought a few packets of veggie seeds but I still have a lot of learning to do. A lot of learning. I'm excited though and wanted to share. I'm sure I'll be visiting this forum quite a bit.

We have a really nice lawn, but have noticed the urine spots from our two dogs seem to be worse this year. I have heard that I should use lime and something else to counter-balance the exra nitrogen that is turning my beautiful lawn yellow in spots. Can anyone help me?

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO YOU .........WITH OR WITHOUT.. HELP SOME OTHER MOTHER OR LADY.....WE ALL HAD MOTHERS .

I was gifted with this "blue" orchid a year ago. It grows indoors by a northeastern window. It's one of the type where the growers are trying to trick people into believing that the flowers naturally grow blue, but in reality the stems are injected with dye as they grow. They start out as white flowering plants.

The flowers lasted a very long time last year, but when they were done, the stem turned brown and died. I know that typically, new blooms grow on old flower stems, but those stems were totally dead.

This year, a couple of months ago, many new healthy roots began to grow. No flower stems though. I was wondering if these roots should be potted into the growing medium, or will they survive the very dry air in our house? I know that orchids have aerial roots, but the few I've had before dried out sooner or later. I do mist the 2 orchids I have, but I really don't want to lose this one.

Any thoughts?

Hello! I'm a beginner gardener and I wanted to ask other members how they store left over soil? any tips on where and how?



I was thinking of storing it in a bucket i had but started thinking if it might grow fungus.

I went out to take a look at my garden this morning to see how it was doing after all of the rain the NE has been getting and I noticed red aphids on my tomato plants. What is a safe way to get rid of them? I read lady bugs but that it takes a little while for the lady bugs to establish. Any suggestions?
