    Rose people, I need your help!

    Wow! Thanks!! This is all great information :). Right now it's in a medium-sized ceramic pot in my living room, which a is nice and sunny area. So what you're saying is, once this flower dies off, DO NOT trim it back until the spring? And ONLY once it is in the ground? Would it be worth it to...

    Rose people, I need your help!

    Hello there! So about a year and a half, maybe two years ago, I rescued this mini rose plant from my sister. She brought it over to me (I have a big vegetable garden and some house plants) in hopes that I might revive it. I cut it way back except for one branch (if you will) that was still...

    The Traveling Desk Plant

    I've looked it up before, but wasn't convinced that's it lol. Basically I'm looking to find out exactly what it is so I can better learn to care for it. The thing with the leaves is that they are telling me something is wrong, but I don't know what that is lol. Usually it means an nutrient...

    The Traveling Desk Plant

    About a year ago a friend gave me a clipping of the plant in the photos attached. It's some traveling/creeping vine. He's told me a solid three or four times what the plant is, but I can't remember and I don't have the heart to ask him again lol. It was one vine about 5' long. I propagated that...

    How do I harvest Elf Sunflowers (Burpee)

    Thanks! I have a few really good pairs of pruners at home :). I should leave the big one on the top alone, right? Only cut the little off shoot ones? Will it keep producing sunflowers? Or will the plant die when I start cutting the flowers? Thanks!

    Planning for 2017 - Drip Line Reviews & Frost Covers

    Hello there! This year will be my third vegetable garden. First year I was wildly successful, last year not so much. We had a very hot and dry summer. So this time around I'm trying to combat that by setting up a drip system with an automatic timer. I have been comparing the Miracle Grow...

    Roses First Timer - HELP

    Well, it was flourishing this summer after I cut it way back and gave it lots of love. Now that winter is here, it's really slowed and is losing leaves. I'll post a picture of the card when I get home :). It only says what it is and has basic care instructions. I'd like to keep it as long as...

    Fungus Amungus!

    OK thanks! And yeah, if we can't figure it out for sure, I'll likely dig it out. I'm just afraid of spreading it more and making it worse lol.

    Fungus Amungus!

    It seems to uproot easily, but I'm worried about it spreading. It has already traveled to other parts of the yard without me doing anything to it. I'm thinking it's a bigger problem and may need to be treated chemically :(. Literally NO ONE knows what this darn stuff is. It's killing me :hit
