Home and Garden

Jess asked:


I got a new plant called a dish garden and my cat keeps eating it. I was wondering if it will hurt him.

Paul asked:


I’ve been trying to fix up my garden, but it seems like the old stuff keeps growing back.

The culprits are those furry leaves that look like rabbit ears, and there’s also some wildflowers. They keep coming back (big-time).

How do I renovate the garden so I can start over fresh? It’s in-between my patio and the surrounding fence. It’s in an L-shape, wrapped around the patio. I’d say it’s about 18′ long, by 2′ wide.

And if I have to dig all the old stuff up… how deep do I have to go? And how would I get rid of the dirt, and find new dirt to replace it?

I just planted some nursery snapdragons, pansies and mullein in the garden. I teased out the roots as suggested, planted, then watered them. Now they are drooping over! What should I do? How often should they be watered?

I live in northern Sacramento County and it is sprayed nightly for west nile virus. I have a substantial vegetable garden, and I wonder about any side effects the spraying does has on my garden. I hose it down every morning.

Lindsay asked:


My landlords left on a trip and are letting me pick all the ripe tomatoes from their garden. I already have a Wal-Mart bag full. Anyone have any good ideas for a homemade pizza sauce, or salsa, or tips on freezing them? Thanks!

I only have a few container veggies, but we own 2 peacocks that love to eat them. Please help. I would really love some natural methods. My garden is organic.
