Q:What flower would be most at home in your garden?

W8 I dunno. They just grow. Natural. Um I got mint leaves growing in my garden. Plus we planted a peach tree as well. Usually daisies or this yellow type of flower I don't know what you call it. I only have a little bit of grass in my garden The rest is pavement...

Q:Appears to be being eaten by something. saw green caterpillar like insect on leaves of brussel sprout young plant. Other plants doing fairly well.See holes in a few other leaves,but somethings descimating my Brussell Sprout plants. Please help.

I don't know where you are but here in New Zealand that green caterpillar is from the white butterfly. Under the leaf you will find an egg attached. Here, we dust the plant with a product called deris dust and that kills the caterpillar soon after hatching. The white butterfly lands on cabbages too but they don't like lettuce. If you boil a lettuce and strain off the juice, you can spray your brussell spouts with the juice and that should keep the butterfly away. Only draw back is that if you water the garden or it rains you have to spray again once the plant has dried.

Q:We just bought a ranch style home in florida, it has a tan tile, more like shingle roof. I want to update the look, it is an old house, the colors it has now gray with black trim all over make the house look depressing and dingy. I haven't seen too many ranch style homes with a tan roof, so I'm just wondering what colors would go best? It also has a stucco surface, and there is a black iron fence with red brick that goes all around the house. It's out in a country like area, so I want to stay true to it's roots.

Q:i really enjoy getting off of work and going straight to my garden.nothing like home grown veggies.

I don't have a veggie garden but I do have a flower garden and I am with you on coming home and working in my gardens. So funny weeding and digging in the dirt is so relaxing for me. I love my gardens. Winter----please tell me how that topsy turvy thing works out I was going to get one but never did. I hope you get big beautiful red yummy tomatoes out of it!

Q:I have a large garden in my backyard that I am trying to cultivate. However the soil is very clay-like and hardens quickly like corn field dirt. Its too large to cover with miracle grow or anything and hand tilling it as well as keeping things alive in it is very hard. Any suggestions?

Garden soil takes time to cultivate for the best results for your planting. Buy a soil test kit and test your soil. Your local garden center can help you determine what nutrients it is lacking (besides organic material). In the fall, start saving coffee grounds, peanut shells and shredded paper and throw it into your garden space to over winter. You can also add hay although I'm told you will have more weeds next Spring. In the Spring add organic compost and manure before planting. You may want to consider starting a compost pile. Compost is the best organic material for any soil. I've already spent four years cultivating my garden soil and this year I think it will be the best balanced I've ever had. It makes a big difference for plants.

Q:This is a good website but I was just wondering if anyone know of any other QA sites that dealt with gardening questions? The more the better. Thank you.

Try (DIY) and type in gardening. I don't know if it will work, but it's an idea.

That would be awesome! I would definitely go to your party if you were in my area! Advertise yourself in newspaper and on the radio, have some of your friends or family tell more of their people; others will be interested for sure! We all could use some different pieces for our home and could use some garden products.You will be the source that would help us to some products that are hard to find, we haven't heard of, or just wanting another favorite of ours to add to our collection. That is an awesome idea to host a home and garden party. I wish you the best of luck!
