Gardening: I have two plum trees that definitely need help.

These trees were given to me as a birthday present 7 years ago. One has leaves but never blooms. The other blooms and has given fruit the last 3 years but the plums are really tiny and quite bitter. Any suggestions on how to improve them?

Should the greenery of the peony be cut after it has bloomed? If so, when would be the best time to cut?

Gardening: Care of peonies.

Do you cut back the leafy portion of the plant after it has bloomed and when would be best to do so? I have many of different colors and just love the blooms and fragrance.

Gardening: What is this plant?

This plant (the two bright green spikey-looking ones) grows in the area of WV where my husband is from, but we have no idea what it is. He says it reseeds itself every year and the plant itself gets very tall, around 4 or 5 feet. I would appreciate any comments.

    Charlene, especially when I googled it and saw a picture of one. No one I know has ever seen one turn red so we'll see what happens later on; perhaps that's an environmental thing? I thank each and every one of you for all your advice!!!
