  • The beginning of the end for my 3rd try with Vinca this year.

Gardening: Vinca having a bad year??

I have planted Vinca for years in my sunny spots and it has always done well. This year I have replaced it for the 3rd time and now I'm giving up. Anyone know of a disease Vinca has this year?

Gardening: How do you get rid of nut grass permanently?

We have a problem with nut grass. (My mother bought dirt from a nursery and it was in the dirt) We pull it and its back in back in a week. She has used Roundup and it doesnt work. She bought a " nutgrass killer selective herbicide" by a company called Monterey this also had no effect. As you can see from pics below.

    I agree with Douglas, it's a Crinum and should be very hardy in your area.

  • The same White Christmas cactus that bloomed once back in December of 2011 is now budding  in May 2013.
  • The pink one also..
  • White Cactus bloomed in 
December of 2011

Gardening: What is the secret for carrying for Christmas cactuses?

I love the Christmas cactus but try as i may...I have never understood how to keep them healthy and alive. I have read instructions on how to water... ...»

Don't over water, do not allow them to dry out...Place them in well draining soil... Blah, blah, blah,...... I purchased a couple two years ago and as usual they still remain a mystery to care for.

In December of 2011 my white cactus bloomed, the pink one did not.

When I moved to a new apartment the following year I placed them at the window with my other sun loving plants as I did in my last apartment..

That December, neither bloomed.......I assumed it was the change and like the other plants... they needed to get acclimated...

I changed their soil and pots over and over again...Some dried them out to quickly like the clay pots...Others like ceramics, would keep them appearing healthy for a while but then they would stop growing.

This year the only thing I've done differently was to change the pots again!. I purchased two cheap little plastic pots from the dollar store and forgot to place holes in the bottom, however, when I watered them... I allowed them to dry out between watering...and did not bother to punch holes in the bottom because they seem fine..

I than decided this month to place them on the balcony where they receive indirect light... And guess what...They began to bud!

I still can't figure this out...What did I do right/wrong? They are blooming in May??

are they not Christmas cactuses?.

  • Weed??

Gardening: What is this? Is it a weed or a type of spinach

I found this growing in my carrot bed this spring, I let it grow but I still haven't figured out what it is. I shared my vegetable garden with my neighbor last season and I know he planted something late last summer. The simple resolution would be to ask him but he moved. Anyone with suggestions would be much appreciated,
