    Tomatoes pest

    It sounds like you have a Japanese Beetle problem. They will eat every thing in sight if not stopped. I use Sevin Dust on mine.

    Oh yeah, stick them suckers in the ground sprout side up, cover with soil and wait for potatoes. Cut the potato up and make sure you have eyes in every hill.

    Peppers Yellowing and Leaves Curling

    My grandmama, would always sprinkle a couple of spoon fulls of Epsom salt around a pepper plant when she put it in the ground. She said it would help with yellowing and make the stems strong.

    peach tree getting eaten

    I have tried every thing and nothing has worked, they will sit in the trees and eat them with me watching. I have resigned myself to never getting any peaches from those trees so I now buy them on my way home to SC.

    Please help landscaping infront of porch! Update with pics!

    I would make sure what ever you plant is of a dwarf variety so it will not get to big. Azaleas have a variety that has small leaves and flowers, how about Hostas, they come back every years. Japenese Maples are slow growing specimens, I have the regular and the lacy leaf variety in my yard...

    what to do with my broccoli plants?

    The best tool I have ever used is The Old Farmers Almanac. I would advise anyone planting a garden to get one and read it from cover to cover. There are lots of tips and ideas to help the small gardener. You can also Google it and look at it online.
