Moss Garden? What planting or features will be suitable for a mossy area that was once lawn? Ever since my neighbour put up a high, solid fence my lawn has become overtaken with moss. Having given up fighting a loosing battle against it, I am thinking of turning it into a feature, maybe a moss garden, or Japanese garden. The only other thing that is thriving at the moment is a Forsythia, but I'd like some ideas please. The fence is on the south west side of the garden with a large yew tree (neighbour's) to the south, and the house on the north west so not much sun on that strip. Just to say that I tend to forget this is a global sight, and I am in UK but any good ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Trees and garden question? ? I've just started looking around for infomation about trees and growing zones.

We live on the South coast UK with a clay but fertile soil.

japanese knotweed in the garden? don't groan, but bought house last year (south east UK) and noted some dry stubbly bamboo-type/reed stumps in the ground at the bottom of the garden - cut them away and in the last few weeks these beasties have sprouted up to about 3 metres - my friend popped round for a cuppa and was apoplectic when she saw them because apparently (I'm not a gardener) it is japanese knot-weed and not good (underestimation!)- the neighbour at the bottom of the garden has it all around his sheds too on the other side of the fence backing onto the area it is growing in my garden - how best to get rid without damaging the sapling trees I planted next to it? (before I realised what it was) -thanks - at the moment it is localised to where the neighbouring gardens converge at the end and not near any buildings/houses (other than sheds)

How could I grow a Cherry Blossom tree in the UK? As to make sure there is no confusion I am talking about the Japanese trees and not the fruit bearing kind.

Does anyone know anything about the symbology of the chinese gong?

Any recommendations for small trees you can plant close to your house? As in, about 1 - 2 metres from the house? Our house is on a now busy road, it was built in 1860. Most people's front gardens are now 'car parking'. We have a narrow bed currently with a holly in it which looks pretty awful. Our neighbour (we are semi detached) has a japanese cherry outside his front door, I would like to mirror this as it looks so much nicer but I am wary of causing any structural problems. Given that councils used to plant trees on pavements very close to houses are there some 'municipal' types I could safely try? Or tree-like shrubs? I like blossom and 'country cottage' looks!

Oriental Garden Plants? I'm looking to create an oriental 'feature' in my garden around my flowering cherry tree, and i'm wondering what type of plants could I get that are oriental. I've heard of the Japanese minature cherry and the Magnolia Grandiflora, however some others would be fantastic! Thank you!

What kind of tree or flowering shrub can I put in a corner of my zone 5 garden? I have a corner area in my garden where two six foot wooden fences meet. Currently, I have a small Japanese maple tree there that is growing so slowly I can probably will it to my great-grandchildren. I also have a bleeding heart and some gorgeous astilbes. The corner needs some height as I have some gorgeous trees in the rest of the yard. This space is about 4' wide and gets a few hours of afternoon sun. My kitchen windows look out on it though so I would like an attractive shrub or small tree. Any ideas? Thanks!

I have lichen on my acers (Japanese Maples), should I worry? I have several beautiful acers in my patio garden. This year they have recently developed a crusty yellow lichen on a lot of the branches. When rubbed, it is difficult to get off. The trees are about 10 years old, in large pots, regularly watered and standing in partial shade. The lichen is unsightly. Should I be worried about the health of my trees? Is there anything I can do to remove it/ stop it? Thanks for your advice!

The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn. From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flame like as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion.

how do you grow moss in a sunny area? i love japanese garden. now i moved to tropical area, where the weather is hot.....so i made japanese garden with stones, pine trees, stone lanterns, etc. when i lived in the norther hemisphere, i made my japanese garden and stone lantern as perfect habitat for moss by painting it with yogurt several times before summer and covers it with plastic.... it worked well.....the stones and trees looked really old...just like when you go to temples in japan. why this does not work in the hot area???.... is it because it is too sunny and too dry??... s.o.s.... any gardener,...biologists,....whatever your expertise....your comments are highly welcomed.

How do you imagine your future? 1 Who would you want to be with for the rest of your life if anybody? If you don't know yet, then what kind of person are you looking for? 2 Where do you want to live and why? 3 What do you want to be (career)? 4 How many kids do you want and what do you want to name them? You can pick the genders or list all gender possibilities if you want. 5 What do you want to do after you retire? -----------------Mine--------------------- 1 My boyfriend, who I won't name on here, but he's very sweet, witty, and smart and he's very respectful and adventurous, I love him a lot! 2 I like where I live now, it's in the forest and not to far from the beach and it rains a lot! I want a big yard and a small house. (A mix of modern and old things inside) 3 I want to be a nurse and write children's books :3 4 I want two kids, either Elliot Charles & Carlisle Jude, Cassandra Eve & Willow Claire, or Carlisle Jude & Willow Claire. But I really want a boy and girl! They would have dark brown curly hair and green or blue eyes. 5 When I retire I would love to make a gigantic garden like I had when I was a kid, like a Japanese garden with lots of trees and ponds, and I still want to go on lots of adventures with my friends like I do now.

Japanese maple? I have a young Red Japanese Maple tree, thats around 3 feet high, and prolly 1-2 feet wide. My question is, every year, all the new growth looks like someone torched it. It obviously dies, so it's been the same height for a couple of year now, and I can't fix it! It is in sun for most of the day, so I think it could be that, but is there something I can plant behind it to help? it has to be something that won't take up much room, because my garden is on a creek bank, and there's only about 3 feet of space to work with, in rocky and clay-filled soil. It has been there for prolly over four years, and it's the only garden I have, I'm still living with my parents, so I can't create a new place. There is a Sycamore that shades it through some of the day... if I choose a vine, what kind wouldn't get too big, or invasive?

What is your dream home like? The one you have a real spiritual attachment to?

Where and how do I get 100 cherry blossom cuttings Los Angeles? Specifically, I would like to give japanese cherry blossom tree saplings in little burlap sacks to my wedding guests in early May. At my local garden store, she said I can't get seeds because they make them with cuttings and she didn't know where I could find a company to buy the cuttings from. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

What tree should I plant in my front yard? I'd like it to be unique and beautiful, graceful, maybe a bit delicate but not a weeping willow. Something with a branching shape, not too vertical. I'd like it to let dappled light through, and be no more than 25 feet when mature. It can be deciduous. I live in Southern California in an old 1920's mediteranean but not spanish-style house. The garden faces south/east with not much shade. It is ecletic, with white wisteria behind a black magic colocasia, some david austin 'heritage' roses, white heliotrope, pink jasmine, purplish red abutilon, canterbury bells, oreganum 'kent beauty', coreopsis 'limerock passion'. Things like that. I love japanese maples and I plan to use them soon, but this tree needs to be more of a focal point, close to the entryway, and it will be there to greet whoever comes to the door. Is there a maple tree that will be right? Or something entirely different? I just planted a halesia snowdrop tree farther down the garden.

Japanese Maple Tree Care? I've gardened before and the Japanese Maple in our front yard is surrounded by little spurts of baby saplings. I heard they are expensive and you could get quite a pretty penny for one of these babies. I'm going to grow it a bit first. One baby that I claimed as my own is in potting soil along with the rest in washed Styrofoam cups. How much should I water it? How long should I keep it in a cup until it's ready to be put in a nice big pot? I'm going to put it in a pot soon enough though.

Japanese Bonsai Maple Tree, bottom is fine, but top has not grown back for a couple of years.? Any tips on reviving our tree? The top has been dead for a few years now...we kept hoping it would grow back like the rest of it does each year. I'm thinking of trying to prune the dead branches, but I have never gardened in my life.

when is best to rehome/plant out trees? I have a Japanese red maple that's been a terrace potted tree for the last few years. Finally I have a house and garden. It's just started to lose its leaves for this year. Also a grape vine Also an olive tree Positions in the garden are N, E and W but not South.... which would you pick for each of these? in a certain position it will get South as well but I can't put all 3 there :) Thanks in advance Thank you Maria! You know, that's just where I wanted the trees :) that would place the maple in the front of the house, the olive in the part of the garden overlooked by the kitchen. Couldn't be better. Thanks for taking the time to help :)

Starter plants and new shrubbery? We have been getting our planting done around the house and landscaping as the previous owners did not care for yard work. My question is this, I read on all of the tags in the flowers and shrubs that they need to be watered daily until they take. My brother in law once again is telling me I am wrong which he seems to enjoy doing. We have planted seeds in the garden as well as starter plants, we planted two hydrangeas a rhododendrun and two cherry trees in the back yard. There are also bedding plants in the back. We planted two small shrubs in the front a rhododendrun and a japanese split leaf maple. There are also three hanging baskets with petunias. Am I correct that these need to be watered everyday?

Help with starting Japanese Acer Bonsai's etc...? Hi, I bought some value Japanese Acer's from B & Q (4 of them) a few days ago because I've taken an interest in the hobby of Bonsai. I've stuck a few 'baby' trees (4-6" fieldmaple and english maple) in some bonsai pots about a month and a half ago and they have taken well. I also took more 'baby' trees (hawthorn and beech about 4-6" 2 weeks later) from the garden and potted them in some normal 3" but they have all died back and i'm not sure if they will recover. I did clip some of the roots of both lots but i'm a bit confused on why the second lot hasn't took yet. Any ideas why? So anyway, I feel the prospect of moving some bought acers into bonsai pots and start to irritate them, a bit daunting as i am such an amateur and i don't want them to die. I am also a bit stuck at how i am going to shape them and prune them as the internodes are quite spaced apart. I have researched online about the care of bonsai acers, but i'm still a bit reluctant, bewildered, and confused. I'm just wondering if i should move them now or should i wait until next year? Any suggestions or help that you can give me to settle my mind and give me some confidence that it'll be fine? lol Thanks for taking the time to read my question, i look forward to your answers.

What plants would looks best in our garden? My husband and I purchased and apartment building in Oct. When we purchased the building, we noticed the problem with the building is that the landlord did nothing with it. There is a part of the property line (about 200 yards long) that is nothing but weeds. We will be taking out the weeds when the ground thaws. Afterwards, we wanted to make a simple yet elegant flower garden along the property line. The building is a large red brick. We will be accenting the building with white (we are replacing some porches this summer and using white vinyl columns due to our being located between a highway and road. This is also why we want this part of the property covered with something and we thought flowers would be nice with a fence instead of only a fence) Anyways I am interested in the Japanese red maple and the mount fiji flowering cherry. We are in zone 6. Any suggestions for trees/shrubs/plants/flowers we could use? (we were trying to use a red palet with pinks whites some purples and even 'black') Open to all suggestions (we would like to do this ourselves as my brother is a landscaper and able to assist if we need him. Please do not suggest us hire someone. This a project my husband and I would like to try together :)

I need ideas for ground cover in shade with soil that gets very wet in winter, probably not draining well..? I live in the SF bay area, California. I have a tree-filled corner in the west side of my yard which only gets filtered sunlight, if any at all. The soil gets waterlogged every winter. I also have a dog, so plants that can tolerate a little foot traffic would be great too. Would Lily of the Valley work here? I would love something that is green and attractive all year round, possibly with flowers. Right now, I only have a mini Japanese rock garden there, so something that would go with that theme would be even better. Am I asking for too much?

Does anyone in the UK or the British Isles do Bonsai? Bonsai is the ancient Japanese tradition of creating miniature gardens in small boxes or planters. Does anyone do this and if yes, then how long have you been doing this and do they sell well in your country? I have ben creating these delightful miniature gardens complete with live green moss, working waterfalls, brooks or bubbling ponds, along with a miniature tree, placing them in a Saikai Dish and marketing them here in the USA, for the past ten years. I do this as a hobby, a way for me to relax from the daily grind of running two companies that market luxury houseboats and renewable energy sources. I find it to be very relaxing, comfortable and rewarding, and I only sell them if I feel that the person buying my creation will take as good a care of the tree as I would. I can use native grown trees, in whatever country I am in, so this is not a problem, and I have heard that in the British Isles, there is a lot of gren moss available. Is anyone doing this now? Thank you

I’m planning a trip to Japan what are the must see sites? I’ll be there for three weeks and plan to travel all over the country. I’d love to see old temples, shrines, Zen gardens everything old world Japanese basically. Anything that you thought was beautiful and serine let me know so I can add it to my agenda. Also what is the best time of the year to see the foliage colors and cherry blossom tree’s blooming? Thanks in advance!

What is the best plant/shrub for this area? (Australia)? I want a plant that will be used for screening purposes (more specifically to stop a neighbour crossing into my garden). The soil is very clay and doesn't get a lot of sunlight. I would like something non deciduous that won't require regular trimming (like a hedge). I would ideally like to have 2 or 3 close together that will grow to about 1 - 1.5m tall. As the soil is so poor, will I be better off getting a more mature plant and filling in some of the soil with bought soil/fertiliser? I guess I want a more mature plant so the barrier effect takes place straight away! A couple of plants I have had in there died, they were quite young and may not have been cared for properly (it used to be a rental). There is currently a conifer, pine tree, some kind of ash, a japanese bamboo thing and some pittosporum and they are going quite well. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Bought a Plum tree from Starders and they shipped it infested with Japanese Beetle? Possible? I purchased the trees but did not receive it til 2 weeks after. Receieved trees with leaf eaten up. I also bought many everygreens like Pine. I believe the beetle hid in the bushy evergreens and was transported to my yard. There are thousands of then now in my yard. Straders deny that something like that cannot happen and refuse to take responsiblity for shipping infested trees to me. This is my 1st time buying trees and I wanted to know what is the stpres responsibilty to keeping plants pest free? Shouldn't they already been treated at the stores? I'm just very upset with Straders Garden Center customer service. All they can say is it's bug season, you'll find them everywhere. What do you think They were shipped by Straders. When they shipped it, we noticed the dying leaves and asked the workers. They claimed "some insect is feeding on it", but did not clarify what or how to treat it. It was not like that when we purchased it 2 weeks ago. And b/c their fax or so excuse, they did not deliver the message to the deliver guys o get it to us. That is why for 2 weeks we did not see our trees and all this infestation happened in their green house. I just feel they should have treated it or prevented while it was there. Now we have beetle all over the pines and plum tree(it is an ornamental no fruits). Of course i cannot do any harm to the pine, but you can imagine there are so many of them their even clinging to the evergreens!

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?a Thou art more lovely and more temperate: b Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,a And summer's lease hath all too short a date: b Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, c And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; d And every fair from fair sometime declines, c By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;d But thy eternal summer shall not fade e Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;f Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,e When in eternal lines to time thou growest: f So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, g So long lives this and this gives life to thee. g Oscar Wilde's novel the Picture of Dorian Gray, Chapter 1 – ‘the studio was filled with the rich odour of roses’. The studio was filled with the rich odour of roses, and when the light summer wind stirred amidst the trees of the garden, there came through the open door the heavy scent of the lilac, or the more delicate perfume of the pink-flowering thorn. From the corner of the divan of Persian saddle-bags on which he was lying, smoking, as was his custom, innumerable cigarettes, Lord Henry Wotton could just catch the gleam of the honey-sweet and honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum, whose tremulous branches seemed hardly able to bear the burden of a beauty so flame like as theirs; and now and then the fantastic shadows of birds in flight flitted across the long tussore-silk curtains that were stretched in front of the huge window, producing a kind of momentary Japanese effect, and making him think of those pallid, jade-faced painters of Tokyo who, through the medium of an art that is necessarily immobile, seek to convey the sense of swiftness and motion. The sullen murmur of the bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass, or circling with monotonous insistence round the dusty gilt horns of the straggling woodbine, seemed to make the stillness more oppressive. The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ. In the centre of the room, clamped to an upright easel, stood the full-length portrait of a young man of extraordinary personal beauty, and in front of it, some little distance away, was sitting the artist himself, Basil Hallward, whose sudden disappearance some years ago caused, at the time, such public excitement and gave rise to so many strange conjectures.
