Stopping Deer Damage (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: I have a long arborvitae hedge, and I just noticed that something has shredded the branches on a couple of the trees at the far end of the hedge. It doesn’t look like anything was eaten. Low branches are broken off, and the bark looks like someone took a cheese grater to it. How do I protect the plants? A: You are seeing the typical damage done by a male antlered deer, moose, or elk. The damage was probably done a month or so ago, but it may also be ongoing. The antlers on these mammals go th
The Best Time To Move Your Plants Indoors for the Winter (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Remember last fall, when you had to bring all your houseplants indoors on the night before a killing freeze? You were in a panic because you forgot to bring them in over the weekend before the frost. You were dragging all the heavy, dirty, and bug-ridden pots indoors. You created a mess brought in all of the insects that were in the pots. Start thinking about bringing in the houseplants a lot earlier than in a mad rush the day of the first frost. The best time to bring the plants indoors is when
Pruning Climbing Roses for More Flowers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: I walked around the corner of my house to a side yard that isn’t used much. There are two rose bushes that are planted next to the house with trellises. I was surprised to see 8-to-10-foot rose branches hanging down to my knees, way out over the lawn. I have a guy who mows the lawn, and he can cut the roses. I then remembered that this happened last year, and the landscape guy cut them way back. The roses didn’t bloom this year except for one cluster of flowers at the top of a branch. How sho
Renovating a Lawn (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Q: Our lawn took a beating this summer. I was thinking that I should plant a cover crop of grass seed this fall so that it could start growing in the spring. Would that work? I have a pretty big area to cover. A: It could work, but you should plant those seeds much later in the fall. You want those seeds to stay dormant until spring, so plant them when the weather is already cold and will stay cold. You can even spread the seeds on top of snow, but you don’t get good seed-to-soil contact that wa
Growing Pumpkins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If it will be left in the garden, you should protect it from raiding animals. As it ripens, many animals, from squirrels to raccoons to plain old mice, will want to eat some of it. Protecting it with a cage of chicken wire or other fencing will work best. Protect it from rotting on the bottom by lifting it and sliding a board underneath. Next year, read the pumpkin seed package, and see how many days it takes to grow from planting to harvest. Then plant them appropriately. In this case, maybe tw
