New house - need help identifying several plants
Comments (4)First of all, I must say you have chosen a house with a lovely garden. Congratulations on your new home. For i.d. purposes it is best to have a close up of just one plant per photo so that we know what we are talking about, but I will have a stab at a few of them. The low variegated ground cover is a Lamium sp. The small plants with white flowers are Vinca. The three round shrubs are probably Box. The white flowers behind them are Hydrangeas. The white daisy flowers near the gas? meter are Shasta daisies. The shrubs near the pink bird feeder might be Azaleas. The large leafed variegated plants are Hostas. Please post more photos when you can! Cheers, Dee....See MoreMice problems... Again!!
Comments (5)I'm from England and by the sound of it all these animals suck. We spend so much time caring for these plants and they just come along and eat them. I have problems with magpies ripping out my flytraps to get to get to the flys. As I grow them outside along side my saracenia they get plenty of flys. No more, as I have to keep them in a greenhouse now. Unfortunately, I would be arrested if I was to own a gun and take revenge on these pests..........See MoreMice problem in third floor apartment, advice needed please
Comments (7)Sorry as I said I'm on a phone don't mean to double post. My main problems are: What kind of poisons are the best? What else can I do? Everyplace on the web is in a giant debate but poison is so frowned on, I just want to be able to sit and night and write and edit and do my side work lol. Why is nothing being caught? We placed traps in the general area where we see them, we lock up all food and clean now like its going out of style, so no other known food sources, unless it is in the apt next to ours, but then as I said, according to my landlord "no one else has seen them" (But is everyone up at one AM?) How much does a pro cost? And I heard they use poison anyway... It should also be noted it is a brutal Winter here and curious also that as spring and summer come will these vacate for the most part or stay? I know they can't really be gone till all the entrys are plugged and the ones inside are caught or killedb but was curious if it would "die down". Sorry guys, thanks again just want the things out out out!...See MoreMice problems
Comments (7)I had a couple of mouse traps a year or so ago, but they seemed to have disappeared. So - Santa gave me a couple of new ones for Christmas. Caught a mouse in the back porch a couple of weeks ago, reset the trap, adding some more peanut butter, as the catchee had consumed most of what was there ... it's just sitting there ... waiting ... Set the other one on the kitchen floor, beside the cupboard ... caught one, reset it, nothing ... for over a week. Set it again in one of the drawers. Caught a mouse/young rat? Then ... caught another. A couple of days ago ... caught another. Checked this morning - none. Cats love them poison-free mice! Makes their day! ole joyful...See Moremarge727
