    Question ? The grape vines are in a 4’ high raised bed. Been seriously thinking about tacking out some of the vines and replacing them with pole, runner or vine beans . Any ideas which beans to try that would best fit a 15’ wide area with cable wires up 5’ for the vines to cling to? It’s easy...

    @baymule and @digitS’ Anna's hummingbirds (Calypte Anna) live year-round in the PNW 7b-8b zones. There are many anna's hummingbirds in my yard, where they live year-round. Hummingbirds get more of their nutrition from insects (that are often invisible to us) than from nectar. I have identified...

    Kittens are smart they want to climb up saying hey pay attention to me…. Ok 👌. So climbing up 60’ trees? These tiny kittens scream for attention they can’t climb down . ‘hey birds pay attention to me.” After about 5 times of climbing up the tree to rescue the kitten the last time we just left...

    Are you in the states - what state ? It’s easier to answer questions if the state is included. Your info is most helpful for propagating trees, shrubs, this is a good time of year in north western Oregon to take cuttings .

    Propagating Roses from Bouquet Cuttings

    In my experience hormone application on rose cuttings is an excellent way to propagate roses or most other plants. In some cases even homemade willow water works well. Note there are many types of plants willow does work as well as hormone application. If air rooting is applicable that is my...

    Can these grow in containers or must be planted?

    @secuono I agree..I have a hard time keeping some water plants to over winter once removed from the outside pond. It was way too much of an effort to keep the water plants alive inside over the winters. No matter what… they turn to mush. The pond plants that over winter outside well thru...
