and need to keep my houseplants alive for three weeks in the heat... there wassomething on here somewhere about watering plants while away but i can't find it... any suggestions? I don't have anyone that can come to my house to water them...

My neighbor only smokes on his patio (24/7). We have attached patios. My tomato plants are 3 feet tall and yet no tomatoes growing on them! I live in Texas, early growing season here. Also I can't have my window open, the smoke comes right in! I could use some articles on this to take to the management at my Active 55 Community I live in. I can't even use my patio!

Beans and corn grow well planted together. Do you know of any other happy complementary plants?

For your garden this year? Do you plan to produce more for food or maybe enough to sell? What are your garden plans this year?

A lot of my parents fruits get eaten by birds... any eco friendly ideas to keep them away?

I have a mature hazlenut in my garden.. We don't get many nuts from it, because there is a colony of squirells atthe bottom of our garden, and they get most of them! My neighbours want me to cut the tree down, because they say the squirells are pests and i am encouraging them... but to my mind, god put nuts on the earth for squirells and depriving them of their food is wrong... What should I do> retain my neighbours good graces and get rid of the tree.. or leave itthere for the poor squirells...?
