| Clare Finegan from UK asks: |
I have a horrible porch at the front of my garden and I would love to grow something up it to make it look a little nicer. There is no garden there so it would have to come from a tub. It is also in the sun most of the time. I am in the UK so that says it all for the type of weather. I would also like something that will be quick to grow as I am very impatient. Any advise?

Help jane with an answer |
| Green Zeus says : |
It is said that taste repellents work better than scent repellents for rabbits. But rabbits hate both the scent and taste of blood. You can use dried blood, found at garden stores. You can use it dry or wet. Spray or sprinkle it on and around plant. Also they say to try black pepper or hot pepper--sprinkle in and around plants.

How do I get rid of Slugs and Snalls in my yard, I live in S.CA
Help Patti with an answer |
| Green Zeus says : |
There is a product called Slug-Geta. It works VERY well. Also, save your eggshells. Crush them up and spread around plants. This cuts the soft body of the snail. You can also use diotamacious earth and it does the same thing as the eggshells but it`s a bit pricey. Can also set out a shallow pan of beer--they drown in it. You might want to use a couple of these techniques together to kill the most slugs.

| Ellie from USA asks: |
How does one prune boisenberries? I have a two rows of about eight feet long each and they are outgrowing their wire trellis. Should I add trellis or keep them in check? I have about four plants. I know nothing about their upkeep and they are only about two years old and bearing only a few berries this year. Thanks
Help Ellie with an answer |
| Green Zeus says : |
Let me first say that I have never pruned a boisenberry. But being a wine maker, I DO know how to prune grape vines. I imagine this is the same thing. More vine means smaller and fewer berries. I would heavily prune that thing back. When pruning grapes, you prune it until you have 2 fat branches coming off the trunk and no more than 5 vines off of them. From there, you prune the viney growth back to 5 buds. After fruit has set, in the summer, I keep going back and prune off all new vine growth because this is stealing energy from the grapes. Keep those new growths off the plants after fruit set. I would also fertilize to keep them healthy. Triple 19 is fine. Fertilize in spring after all threat of killing frost is gone. Boisenberry makes a very good wine. Good luck--hope this helps you.

Bachelor Buttons, nickname Blue Cornflower, is a true blue flower. It is considered an annual; however, if left to seed, it will return next year. It can spread invasively. You may also remove the deadheads and dry the seeds over the winter and spread after danger of frost. Continually deadheading the plant will keep flowers blooming.

| Jan from UK asks: |
In memory of my mother in law who recently passed away I am looking for a plant/shrub/tree with her name. Does anyone know of such a plant. So far have found a Hosta. Not too practical for memorial though. Many thanks.

Wish you our sympathy. There not many plants with those name. Woodvamp `Barbara Ann` (Decumaria barbara):glossy dark green, lustrous foliage turns a splendid, soft butter-yellow in fall. This easy to grow, native vine is very similar to the popular Climbing Hydrangea but with fragrant creamy white flowers that are more open, like a Lacecap. Yes indeed there is a Hosta with that name also a very expensive Orchid. Hope this answer helps you a little.

| Dee from USA asks: |
Pls explain what kudzu looks like. I brought 3 diff size ball seeds back from S C and they started to throw roots in spring. I set them in water then into soil once I figured what end was UP. They grow about 1-2" a day with hand sized heart shaped leaves on this vine. Do I expect flowers? Thax so much.
Help Dee with an answer |
| Yourgarden specialist Marian says : |
Kudzu is a vine that when you don't controlle it, it will eventually grow over almost any fixed object including other vegetation. Over a period of several years it will kill trees and bushes by blocking the sunlight. Flowers from kudzu bloom in late summer and have a very pleasant fragrance. The shapes and forms created by kudzu vines growing over trees and bushes can be nice to the eye. Kudzu is native to Japan and China, however it grows well in the Southeastern United States.
