Hello!?I must admit to being a lurker on this list.?My talents and garden
are VERY simple compared to most postings, so I've learned a lot already.
Hope you can tolerate a novice!
Question #1 - Linda Korth, you mentioned wintering over mandevilla and
others.?How do you do that?
Question #2 - Did I miss any suggestions made on vines??I'd like to try
vines (other suggestions? tall grasses?) to add some privacy and disguise
our four foot chain link fence.
Question #3 - Any suggestions on grasses or plants for heavily traveled
areas (read: two dogs!)?
Question #4 - I planted some passalong vinca last year and it did
splendidly.?In the spring, do I need to cut it back to promote
continued/new growth, or will it keep spreading?
/ If your vinca is like (vinca minor), it will spread without being cut
back. It will help it spread if you "stick" it, i.e., put a rock on a
runner or however else you wish to force it to put down roots at a certain
point on the runner.
Question #5 - If anyone else lives in Maryland, I'd love to discuss plant
swaps/trades.?The generosity of others furnished virtually my entire garden
the first year, and now I'm beginning to have enough plants to share.?:-D
Question #6 - How do I keep?*&%!--#@?squirrels from eating my hyacinth
bulbs!?
/ After they've just been planted, put big, heavy rocks on them until they
have had a chance to root. ( I leave them on until January or early
February.) If your squirrels are eating them in later years (i.e., after
they have bloomed the first time) then I can't help you. I have loads of
squirrels and have never seen them dig the bulbs after the bulbs have
become established.
Hope this isn't too elementary.?Appreciate any advice.?Many thanks!?:-D
