Hey guys/gals

Having an issue with my raised bed in the back yard. I did not plant whatever this is thats growing, but its growing all over my garden. I will post pics tonight, but off the bat; heres what I've got. They're all about 3-4 feet tall, solid green, no flowers, no berries/fruit/ and the stems and main shaft are fuzzy. At first I thought maybe we planted something without realizing it, but its ...

I looking for a plant that can be potted - rich burgundy in color and can withstand full sun.... any and all help would be greatly appreciated :wink:

Here is the link for a tree sale. They also have rain barrels and composite bins at a good price.

It has been a brutal winter here in the valley.

Mom won't let me touch it. ...

Just wondering if anyone is using a drip irrigation system?

For my happy, happy Birthday I got a 'knock out rose' bush. They are gorgeous and seemingly not even I can kill them (hope I didn't just jinx myself!)

But as it seams that I have resurrected my Orchids, and have new buds on my rose bush I might be becoming a tad overly confident :wink: but for anyone who is not blessed with green thumbs, I ...

I have a bed that's filled with sedum. Unfortunately grass has also decided to take root. Short of digging it ALL up, is there anything I can do to get rid of the grass without killing the sedum?

Got another call last night about pesky rabbits eating the garden. Thought I would pass along a bit of advice. Don't try and trap a rabbit. They really can have a heart attack and die instantly from stress. When you see one standing still in your yard, the rabbit thinks it is invisible but his heart is racing nonetheless.

Deer-Off II works wonderfully to keep rabbits from eating your plants. It can also be used ...
