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

Use Your Old Coffee Grounds in the Garden.

Are you a big coffee drinker? If you are, you will have used coffee grounds. Don't throw them away...used them in the garden.

There are many ways to use them. Camellias, hydrangeas, and roses are all nitrogen loving plants so the coffee grounds help.

The grounds are also a great deterrent for slugs and snails around hostas and other plants that the pests love.

Can Anyone Tell Me What Type of Plant This Is?

I was given this plant a few days ago, but was not told what type it was, aside from it being an indoor plant. When I received the plant, the leaves were almost black with bugs and the starting to turn a yellow color. I washed the leaves last night which seemed to help it a bit, but the leaves are still turning yellow. The plant was bone dry, so I watered it a bit and put it in a sunny location, but not direct sun light. There are also little bulbs that are there, but the gal that gave ...»

Sweeten Your Tomatoes With Baking Soda.

Want to grow the sweetest tomatoes around? Use baking soda near your plants in the garden.

Just sprinkle a small amount of baking soda on the soil around your tomato plants. (be careful not to get any on the plant itself and be also careful with young seedlings which are more tender.) The baking soda absorbs into the soil and lowers the acidity levels. This will give you tomatoes that are sweet rather than the tart flavor that store bought tomatoes have. ...»

My Great Grandmother's Heirloom Bean Seeds

Anyone who is interested in organic gardening has most likely heard of heirloom seeds. With all the talk of GMO seeds, heirloom seeds (those that are passed down from one generation to the next) are very much in demand by gardeners who want a "true" vegetable.

My great grandmother was an avid gardener. I can barely remember her, but I do remember her garden. She was also a seed saver and she passed her seeds to her daughter who did the same. ...»
