I have a Miss Kim Lilac that has ALOT of blooms, but they are not opening. I do not fertilize this plant. What am I doing wrong?? I live in SE Michigan.

Why has my lilac never flowered?

I have recently had a huge amount of earth dug out from under the concrete floor of a barn and cow shed. It was dug down to about 4 feet, 1.3 meters. It is now sat on an uneven grass lawn and i was hoping to use the earth to level the garden. Is this earth any good for growing grass or anything else? Thanks, Rob

I have a pot with 3 Japanese maples (~3 1/2' height). When I place in ground can I separate the three?

I have been trying to find out what this bush is called and no one can give me a definitive answer. Please help! I love it and want to get some for my home!

Last fall I tried to grow cucumbers. I had harvested a few cucumbers when the cucumbers were infested with cucumber beetles. I used Sesame oil to try to control them but it did not work. The infestation just got worse.They completely destroyed the plants. How can I control the cucumber beetles?

I live in Hercules, CA and I see around town and down the coast the attached bush with large purple plumes. Can you tell me what this is???

Most all gardening instructions start by saying choose (a well- drained soil) . I have several acres for gardening on top of a small hill. There are 8 to 12 inches of pretty good top soil and then one to three feet of hard red clay. The clay is pretty well imperious, so I don’t have the option of choosing a well-drained soil. I have trouble with my septic system because water will not percolate through the red clay. I do not garden over the septic system. The clay seems to be okay for growing things, when I scattered it on top of the ground while trying to repair my septic system, grass grew on it well, and was very dark green. What should I do about growing a garden in this situation?

Last year my english roses developed strange sappy strings with little rings that hung from the bottom of the strings. I would discover this in the mornings....there were many coming down from all parts of the roses. Does anyone know what this is?
