    Morning Glory Pruning?

    It's probably a Grandpa Ott or hot pink or white morning glory. I do not think it is a heavenly blue variety.

    Morning Glory Pruning?

    I accidentally uprooted a morning glory plant that was growing up a basket handle in my garden. When I realized what I had done, I stuck the root inside dirt in the basket and kept it well watered. At first the leaves looked good, but then a few of them shriveled up, and the vine now appears...

    Pinks Gone

    Where would I buy "Bellodgia?" I've never heard of it before, and it sounds lovely!

    Pinks Gone

    Sooo pretty, and I love the names of these pretty pinks, aftermidnight. Smart Red, I finally dug up your pretty blue pinks and potted them up in full sun and cut off the legginess.. They are hanging on. Some new leaves are showing at the base of the plants. Fingers crossed that they will make...

    Mowed Down Maximilian Sunflowers?

    They came back, after having been mowed down, and I dug them up and transplanted 4 sections of them, and they seem to be doing well in their new locations.

    Mountain Ash Looks Sick?

    Good to know, Thistlebloom. I will deep water it tomorrow.

    Mountain Ash Looks Sick?

    It WAS lack of water. I poured 4 gallons on it, and it looks so much better. So weird that two trees growing right together like that could act so differently, getting the same amount of water. One is thriving, the other was nearly dead from thirst. Bizarre! Glad it perked up, though.

    Missouri Primrose Question?

    Thank you, Nyboy. My Rose of Sharon is still growing that you sent me. It looks healthy.

    Mountain Ash Looks Sick?

    I found this. I suspect it needs more water? Maybe it doesn't get hit by the sprinkler as much as the healthier, more established Mountain Ash? http://gardening.yardener.com/Caring-For-Mountain-Ash

    Mountain Ash Looks Sick?

    I have 2 Mountain Ash trees in my yard, planted close together. One looks fine, the other looks sick. Just now I weeded around it. I recall reading that they don't do well competing with weeds, but the healthy one has just as many weeds around it. The sickly one got hit with a late freeze a...

    Missouri Primrose Question?

    Yes, it's too bad the flower haters made me rip up all the flowers in the front bed. That soil was perfect, and everything thrived there, and it was on a slope, so it drained. It sure looks ugly now, with no flowers. And none of them did well when transplanted to my yard, which must have clay...

    Missouri Primrose Question?

    Oh, it grew beautifully for 10 years out front in the raised bed. I'm sure it would be blooming beautifully there had it not been ripped out, so lucky...

    Missouri Primrose Question?

    My Missouri Primrose I transplanted last spring sulked all last summer, but it came back this spring, very puny, just a few leaves. But today when I went to look at it, it was gone! Do you suppose it died in the sun (very hot weather here in Utah). Or do you suppose it got root rot? Very few...

    Hose Trouble

    I don't think all the hoses would rupture at the same time, even if they were all outside during the winter.

    Hose Trouble

    I think it is the heat thing, Nyboy. I'll bet you are right. We've had several days of temps over 100, and my hose IS in the hot sun, stretched out. You've made me feel a lot better.

    Hose Trouble

    I'm having a lot of trouble setting up misters for the chickens. What makes a hose blow? I had a heavy duty hose attached to one mister yesterday, and it blew out 2 times. Fixed it with a clamp end, only to have it blow out again. Ditto with the lighter-weight hoses. Attached two to a different...

    Mowed Down Maximilian Sunflowers?

    When should I dig up the Maximilian sunflower roots for replanting elsewhere? Should I wait until they send up new growth and it is cooler? Or now?
