Have you tried clipping their wings? I have a flighty rooster and I clipped his wings.. He doesnt go very far anymore :lol:

Will they work behind lilies? They are close to the same size but since lilies bloom later would the lilies grow slower giving the bellflower plenty of time to show its flowers?

What sort of light should I use? I have a heat lamp and that is about the only portable thing I have. The only fluorescent lights I have are 8+ feet off the ground..

The best way I know to describe it is showing you pictures http://www.fao.org/docrep/S8684E/s8684e0j.gif http://www.potato-hot.com/img/general/furrows.jpg Furrows: a marked narrow depression The instructions say: Bellfower Complete: Sow seeds in shallow furrows, but do not cover; light...

I live in zone 7 maybe zone 8.. Depends on who you talk to or what map you look at :rolleyes: I planted Mexican Petunias last year and they did great. But now they are brown and look a little mucky. Is this what they do over the winter? I didnt mulch them :hide Could they re-seed themselves...

I guess this is the right place? I have a lot of seeds that need to be started in furrows. Butterfly bush, Bellflower, etc. I asked a guy at home depot if they had anything and he gave me a long trey that collects the excess water from a planter. $4. I dont really want to spend $4 for every...

I just bought some Canterbury Bells and I have some Bellflower Complete. They bloom early summer. I dont know what to do about that.. After they bloom are they just going to be a tall green back border, are they going to die off leaving me a big bare spot? What could I plant infront of them...

Oh how I would love to buy several $50 rain barrels :D But I cant :( Oh well maybe next year... :)

Thanks for the idea guys! I was thinking of doing containers for shallow rooting plants but what should I do about carrots? If I laid the newspaper down under some top soil and planted carrots that got 7-8 inches would the paper be rotted by the time the carrots would reach that far down (if...

Its been SO wet here! I dont think my soil has dried up since fall! I want to plant my early spring garden (carrots, lettuce, onion, beets, etc) in a grassy area Id need to work. I read to not work soil when wet because it can cause drainage problems. For most of these I would like to put them...

Ive grown them a good few times in the past. I have PLENTY of time to trim and train them I do not fear the glory! :lol:

Thanks guys!

I was wondering.. if I were to build a trellis over my driveway to hold up japanese wisteria (spring blooming) could I grow morning glories over the top of the top of the wisteria then just rip out what I can of the morning glories after they are spent?

Cooler summers down here in Ga would be nice.. We could use SOME rain during the summer.. but not like we have been getting!! Sheesh!

Its moved over here now! I dont think my ground is going to hold much more water. Im going to float away soon!

Ohh ok. I was getting the idea that it had to be like a foot thick! :ep lol SO means significant other.. Were not married (yet) but hes my life partner. I have been with him so many years I feel silly calling him my "boyfriend"

Thanks for all the information! I have a HUGE pile of woodchips I use in my chicken coop (purks of having a SO that is a logger :) ) If I start the sunflowers in pods inside and I poke through the mulch/newpaper that is about 8"+/- should I dig into the soil at all or should I spread the...

I was wondering.... Could I lay down a nice thick layer of newspaper, mulch it, then during planting season put a small layer of dirt down THEN plant the sunflowers. Couldnt they just grow through the newspaper or would that make them weaker?

One fall day I remember riding home on the bus to find my WHOLE front yard DIRT. My dad turned over the whole front yard and reseeded it. I thought it would never grow back! But it did and it was beautiful! Youll either have to reseed in the early spring but I think its best to do it in the...

Ive been thinking of pruning them into a small looking tree. Is it possible to over prune?
