Q:Did some of you expect me to repeat this:quot; Two leg good, four leg baaaaaaaaaaaaad quot;or was thatquot; Rich geek Americans with Chinese prostitutes GOOOOD, working Americans baaaaaad quot;

I'm going back to home and garden!

Q:I live in the NE USA. I have an apartment porch with another porch on top of it, so I get sun in the afternoon, into early evening. I have to have a garden on the porch because any indoor plants will get eaten by the cats. I'd like to be able to plant some seeds in planters (either the long ones or in pots) and keep them on the porch to bloom and grow. I'm not sure what kind of plants would grow well in my area and under those conditions. Anything that can be planted, kept outdoors in the winter and grow back in the spring/summer would be awesome as well (perennials).I'm looking for as much help as possible. What kind of plants would work well, when I'd need to plant them, which kind of planter, how often to water and if I can leave them outside in the fall/winter and have them grow back on me.Thank you so much!

herbs and green onions would be great...they grow relatively quickly and can be both useful and beautiful...some herbs even flower =) many popular herbs generally crave full sun, but can grow in partial full sun...mine are as far as houseplants...you may want to give your cats a treat...plant catnip! it is pretty, green and cats LOVE it =) as far as flowers, you may want to check your local home and garden store for the most appropriate plants for your area...i'm in louisiana, so i'd probably be wrong on that one

Q:Does anyone have a home made way to get water to the birds in the winter without it freezing?

YOUCAN PUT A AQUAIRIUM HEATER ON A TIMER OR IF THE AREA IS BIG ENOUGH YOU CAN USE A LITTLE POND HEATER!

Q:I keep finding cat poo in my garden and I don't like it.

If you have a veggie garden, chicken wire might not work and scent repellents is a no-no, so try citrus peels. Cats are averse to the smell of citrus so place the rinds a few inches apart into your veggie garden. As the smell fades, replace with more rinds. Step4 Another natural repellant is vinegar. You will not be able to use this in your garden, but it works great to use around garden perimeters. Use a store bought 5% acidic or apple cider vinegar. Make sure you reapply after it rains.

Q:I have looked at Lowes, Home Depot, Garden stores and I still can't find replacements seat and canaopy cushions for my outdoor garden swing do they even sell replacements?

Yes, I live in the midwest I see them all the time at Walmart, Lowe's, Target. You might look online have them shipped to you.

Q:I'm thinking about planting something in my gardening and my friends tell me that pH is important factor to consider when I'm trying to decide what to plant. What's so important about pH?

In the simplest terms possible, pH is important in gardening because: There are many different nutrients and micronutrients in soil that plants use for many different internal functions. Many of these nutrients which your plant needs can be in the soil, but can't be sucked up by the plant unless the ph is correct. If the pH is too high or low the nutrients can be essentially locked in the soil. However, for the most part, a neutral or 6.5 to 7 pH will do fine for the plants most people typically grow. Store bought potting soil will almost always be around that number. Some plants however prefer a slightly acidic soil, like african violets. pH really shouldn't be much of a problem for you, but if you find your plants are growing extremely slow and look tiny or frail, you might want to test the pH with a kit which can be found at most homegarden centers and adjust as neccessary. Your friends are over exaggerating, however, unless they are referring to the sometimes sensitive cannabis sativa. In that case, test the soil before planting, but you should be more interested in its drainage properties.

Q:I just read in my local paper that tilling the garden every years is NOT a good idea! I have a small community garden which a neighbor dutifully tills for us, does an amazing job, but the article said that too much tilling upsets the eco-system of the soil.Any thoughts and advise on this before we till for spring (we live in Cleveland, OH)

tilling does foul up some stuff..... the microbial activity, (mycorrizhae/mycelium) for one....they're not made for being exposed to air... and like was said, the worms ain't much happy about it either..... now, the big difference between what the farmer does when he tills and what you do in a home garden, is the biggie.... the farmer goes once across the field, right?... whether he has mule/horses or tractor or HUGE monster dealie, it's ONCE across and bingo. he's got furrows..... at home, with the little Mantis tiller or a hand steered motorized tiller, folks tend to go over and over and over the ground till it's nice and soft and crumbly... am I right?.... it's those more than once passes that do the damage...... once you have tilled a bed, like last year when you started that one....you tilled, added ammendments and it should only need turned with the shovel this year.... actually, only where you intend to plant.... just cover the whole area with fresh compost and let the wormies do the 'tilling'.......they'd rather work, eat and poo, than get cut to bits.....

Q:able to take in a chihuahua in Garden Grove CA or any other city around.

As PomMom said, if you can't afford to pay at least an adoption fee, you can't afford to care for a dog.
