Thanks Larisa. Unfortunately, I do not know the proper name of the phlox. Thanks for correcting me. When Googling Creeping Phlox it is as you called it, phlox subulata. It has soil behind the stone wall and the plant during growth has "creeped" forward over the rocks as suggested by its...

I want to transplant some creeping phlox that has started to outgrow its area. Here it is in its spot. It is a little brown now as it has not been warm enough yet to work in the garden. I have a lot of clean up to do in that space as it is crowded by daffodil, grape hyacinth and wild geranium...

Tis' the season for mice. Its the time where they look for shelter indoors! Since we adopted our cat (he's indoor/ outdoor) and replaced our basement door with something that is sealed, no mice sightings. Every once in a while they creep through, but that is easy to fix with traps. When the...

@MontyJ , what is in "coon juice" it sounds really bad!

I'm always afraid of getting sprayed by a skunk! what would happen, and would you start vomiting? close up skunk smell is not as pleasant as far away smell. My friends house got sprayed and it left this orange residue that didn't wash off. they had to replace that section of their siding even...

Thanks everyone for your help. I may try the netting over the tree next year (its a small tree). Hopefully that will work..I just don't want to prevent any bees from pollinating, so will have to net after the flowers go? And my tomatoes are doing great. No problems with those. the squirrels...

thanks @so lucky ! My cat is indoor/outdoor. He definitely earn his keep, but he does not go after squirrels. He'll chase one here and there, but I have never actually seen him kill one-if he had, then we'd see less squirrels around here. It has been a bit dry here, but there are plenty of...

Hi Everyone, I have a small vegetable plot with asparagus, tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers. We have lots of squirrels and they are a menace. They've been picking at and chewing on my cucumbers! They also destroyed every single apple on my apple tree. The squirrels just cut them down and discard...

I'm new with roses. I have a purple rose bush that is small that did very well this year, and a magenta colored one (i wish I new the names!) the climbing rose is red. I'll snap a photo to show you what that one looks like.

Here is the vegetable garden. My husband and I build all of the rock walls along our gardens using Pennsylvania flat stone. You can see on the left is the asparagus. It just grew into trees as it gets later in the season. We had a wonderful crop in the spring and early summer. Behind the...

Thanks everyone

Thank you @catjac1975. It definitely needs some pruning as it looks awful right now. It bloomed in the early summer (when it should have), but now has lost all of its leaves and some of the branches look dead.

I posted a pic of one of my flower gardens, its not great, but these are my summer flowers. Lots of echinacea, black eyed Susan, Liatris, and gladiola. I have a honeysuckle vine growing up the deck, a sweet pea vine that blooms in both pink and white. That is this one garden . I will post...

Thanks @Smart Red. I will try to get some pics up as soon as I get acquainted with TEG! I look forward to learning and sharing!

Hi Baymule, For tomatoes, well, I only grow cherry tomatoes and assume that big ones will be similar, I just pick a really ripe one and squeeze out the seeds on a paper towel and let dry. Once they were dry I put them in a ziploc bag with the towel as they dry and stick to it, and the next...

Thanks, Miss Lydia!

Hi everyone, I am a gardener from a coastal town north of Boston. I have a small veggie garden plot that includes parsley, basil, asparagus, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. I have numerous flower gardens that I am trying to turn into wildish English type gardens.

I have a climbing rose. It was great the first 2 years I planted it. This year, it is not doing so great, and Iwas thinking it could have been the harsh winter we had here in New England. I think I may need to trim it, but I am not really sure how or when to do it. Any advice?
