Hi All! As a first time gardener, I came to this community for advice, and planted a few pots of petunias, rosemary, and mint. Thanks to all your advice, all were a big success (see pic)! My new question is, some of my petunia plants are really big now. I want them to last through the end of summer. Should I prune them back or leave them be. Also, ( Read more... )

emboldened daffodils; too early to prune fruit trees?

clothmother wrote in gardening Feb 17, 2011 07:34

We've had a couple of unseasonably warm days here in USDA zone 7A, and the daffodils think it is spring! April 30 is our average last frost date, which, now that I'm thinking about it, sounds rather late for the daffodils - my calendar says their last bloom began March 20, 2010. But, I don't have a record of when we saw their first green, and I'm ( Read more... )

We need to prune our apple trees. They are about two years old, maybe 10' high, and still small. Just a few apples last year, but they are growing wrong as we know it and need to be pruned ( Read more... )
