Top Five Questions
1. I have just dug up a hugh Thomas Edison Dahlia to store over the winter in my basement. Should I divide the tubers now or wait until the spring before I replant it? It must have 20 to 30 tubers on it. What is the best way to divide it?
I would wait until spring to divide the dahlia tubers unless they're so large that you'll have trouble storing them as is. If you make fresh cuts into the tubers, they're more likely to dry excessive...
2. What is the best way to acclamate outdoor plants when bringing inside for the winter. Also, caring for them. I still have my ferns(Boston) outside and they look good but I'm told hey will die if I don't bring them in. Also, I brought in some vincs and other annuals inside with a grow light and they seem to be doing well. As annuals can they be kept inside or will they eventually die. Thanks for any help you may give me. Donna Keiser
Hi Yes, some annuals can be kept indoors, especially if you have them under lights: impatiens, geraniums, and begonias are the three easiest. All will do well indoors if they are kept in a warm spot ...
3. how do i get rid of white substance that appears on the leaves of pepper and tomato trees especially under the leaves?
Hi My guess is that your pepper plants have Powdery Mildew, a very common plant fungus, especially on peppers. Mildew is spread via the wind so if any nearby plants become infected, many others will...
4. Mycabbage did not set any heads. It grew to about 18 inches high with just leaves?
Hi Well, it's hard to know what happened without more information. When was it planted? How much light and fertilizer did it receive? What variety was it? Give us more to go on by re-posting more inf...
5. on 2 of my taller bushes i have small black bugs and they are packed around some of the branches they almost look a little fuzzy or maybe they are young with wings and when they hit the ground and i step on them they seem like there is a burgandy fluid in them also there is a lot of large flies in the bushes and bee s in the ground around the root area. whats going on here and what should i do
Hi It's hard to say what's going on here, but my bet is that it's nothing to worry about. At this time of year, in northern gardens, many different types of insects start to mass in an effort to find...
