Sungron’s Question
Posted by | July 14, 2013I'm told that thinning clusters of tomatoes produces one or two nice ones instead of several puny ones. At what point should I thin, or do I even need to in order to maximize growth of the individual tomatoes?

Posted by Pam Carelli | July 11, 2013I have three peonies that have produced beautiful flowers for quite some time. This year only one plant produced blossoms (3)and the other two did nothing!!

Posted by Trina Colburn | July 10, 2013I have a cluster of stargazer lillies that have been in my garden for about 5 years.

marx1187’s Question
Posted by Mark OBrien | July 4, 2013I planted petunia seeds this year in baskets and also bought some large petunia baskets. My hope is to have baskets like the ones you see in Sumner maintained by the city, What happens to mine is they seem to grow very good but lanky, then when it rains hard they look awful and never seem to recover. Any suggestions?
Becl’s Question
Posted by Becl | July 3, 2013We had a horrible wind storm last week. Trees are down all over town. Unfortunately my casualty was a hardy hibiscus. The tall stems were broken off at the ground.
