Rose and Perennial and vegetable Gardeners Welcome!

HELP! I have a vegetable plant (I think) in my garden and I can't figure out what it is. I want to post a photo on here. Is that possible? Thanks, Joanie

Anyone have advice on how to get deter voles from the veggie garden? They are destroying my onions and asparagus. I don't want to use chemicals as my garden is organic and I have pets. I also don't want to trap them because I would then have to kill them (ugh) or transport them very far away and that would be a pain. Anyone have success deterring voles?

Hi everyone Im new here but have a question from my mom who is English and you know how they love to garden. This is her problem. She has a Jackamanii Clamtis thats at least 18 years old and I can't tell you how tall it is cause its huge. Mom lives at 7000 feet in Big Bear Lake Ca. The problem is the clamatis in question gets covered in buds but they don't open. Anyone know why? It use to bloom like crazy. They have had some warm winters with very little snow but the ground still froze. We never get snow here so maybe the warm winters arn't the problem. Any answers would be helpful.
Thank you
Darlin

Hey, I am new to the group and the area. I just had a great landscaping company come out and put in a perennial garden for me. They were wonderful to deal with and seemed very knowledgeable. Peraus Design Has anyone used them before? It is a woodland garden. We used lenton rose, lungwort, ostrich fern, japanese roof iris, hosta and jacobs ladder. Have anyone used these plants? I am hoping they do well. The area looks great now!!

Hi All!
Second post and it's March 1, 2013. Well, we will all be getting ready for the spring soon.
Sprayed the pittosporums out front today, it had cushiony scale all over it. I have 5, so hopefully the spray will work and the scale will disappear this year. (If I knew they were this buggy I wouldn't have bought them), but we will see if they grow a litle bigger this year.
Just ordered a Westerland Rose from Jenkins and Perkions today, don't know when I will get it, but I'm excited about growing it this year.
Who posted the pic of the pond? OMG, it's beautiful! I have a really small one
out back that I hope will look nice this year. Your pond is beautiful!
Hope you all will be back this summer posting...Are you all getting the
"itch" yet like I am?
I will post pics when things start waking up.

Hi, Looking to connect with Tucson, AZ area gardeners. Getting settled into our new home and looking for ideas to landscape our small west facing back yard. Anybody out there who knows about Fruit Cocktail/Citrus Cocktail Trees and what nurseries carry them? Would also appreciate advice about espalier - dwarf trees: manderine orange, navel orange, ruby red grapefruit, lemon, lime, apricot, plum and vines: thompson seedless grape and a seedless red grape (flame??). Thanks!!

Are there active members here? Do the conversations happen somewhere else that I don't know about?

Hello, I'm from Lancaster CA. I thoroughly enjoy gardening. I started composting about two years ago, and I was looking for some advice in that venture. I compost grass, old plants, fruit and vegetable scraps, cardboard and old newspaper, that's about it. Are there other things that I can compost besides that?

Oh, yes, I reside in central Oklahoma. I tought this might have some significance in what I plant. :-)

Good Evening-
I am new to city-data and this is the first group I have joined. I need advise: I live in a duplex with no room to plant a garden. My husband has an old computer desk (tall) that he plans to place outside our kitchen window and place planters on it so I can grow a few herbs, greens, & maybe onions. I am unable to bend or squat due to medical issues. Any suggestions about what to plant would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
