HELP!! My Petunias Keep Dying!
Comments (8)Ken is most likely on the right track. Here in Meridian, Mississippi, petunias of any sort rarely last much past June, because they do not like the extreme heat we get in our summers. This year, June was really more like August, so petunias did even worse. I am guessing that your plants that survived were getting enough shade during the day to allow them to hang on. Next year, maybe you should try white Vinca or White Profusion zinnias or even a white Penta in front of your roses. If they are getting all day sun, these are highly likely to be star performers the entire season....See Morehelp, all my garlic keeps dying with pics
Comments (13)I have some wonderful Top-Setting Garlic, planted last March that I brought from my parents' garden in Idaho, Zone 4. They grow tiny bulbs on the flower and many of those sprout and make flowers of their own..some of which make a 3rd sprout. All without ever touching the ground. Hopefully I will have some of the tiny bulbs available on the Seed Trading Forum this fall.Read up on them a bit and found out they were considered extinct for a few decades so I want to do my part to help spread them out to as many gardeners nationwide as possible so that never happens again. They also set normal-sized underground bulbs that can be dug and used or divided after the 2nd Fall. Only place they don't seem to thrive is zones 9,10, and 2....See MoreJAKE my Muscovy dy=uck can't breathe! Please help!
Comments (9)Hey everyone. Thanks for you help. Jake is doing much better. She stopped breathing like that, and is now breathing normal. I think the catfood got caught in her throat. I kept giving her water with a dropper, and finally I think the catfood got soggy and wet and went on down. I've let her go back outside now. She's walking around pecking the other ducks like she always does. (she's the boss) I;m so thankful she's ok. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to her. She is so precious. She hasn't been the same lately since her sister Topaz got killed. They were best friends, and always together. She hasn't been tkaing care of herself like she use to (like she use to keep clean and clean her feathers everyday, but now she only takes a bath a few times a week. She really misses Topaz a lot. But, she's gonna be alright now and thankyou all for helping me. Genny...See MoreHelp, my sister's cacti and succulents keep dying
Comments (2)That looks like Aloe juvenna, very easy plant to grow. Cuttings grow easily; I posted some photos on this thread I can't think of the reason for leaves to be wet? Did she pour water over? or it got rained on? If plants keep rotting, it must be watering issue. Soil plant is in looks like peat, not really suitable to grow succulents. Cuttings, just potted:...See Morejuneroses Z9a Cntrl Fl
