2009-10-28	Gretchen	10	10	10	10	No	Thanks for your reply. My sunflower plants are only 2 feet tall and have not started to bloom yet. I was wondering if this could be some sort of fungus? thanks again. Gretchen

2009-10-03	Shirley	10	10	10	10	Yes	Thanks. You are right I need to let go. I will let them die and buy new ones next year.
2009-09-23	carol	10	10	10	10	Yes	Hey Garden Lady, thanks so much for your answers to both my questions about saving seeds and luneria plants. I make floral designs with them so having my own would be ideal. You write like you really love what you do. Good for you. Makes life worthwhile doesn't it. Have a great day. carol
2009-09-17	Kenneth	10	10	10	10	Yes	Hello C. L., Very many thanks indeed for a detailed and helpful answer. Best Regards, Ken.
2009-09-15	Barb	10	10	10	10	No	Thanks for your help with the Diamond frost! I do not have a green thumb so I am not surprised with no success from me, but to stump the expert and that it might be something about the plant. good news to my ego. No flowers yet. I HAD been watering it fairly constantly and the couple times it dried out it was only a day or two and back to the watering. It has been a lot cooler this summer (not that I have had success in past years) but other then the damp soil it has been on the hottest south patio I have (full sun all day). The weather is wetter & cooling a lot here but I'll keep trying to dry it out. Thanks Again, Barb
2009-09-10	Leora	10	10	8	10	No	Dear CL, Thank you so much for your answer! I was told when I bought my plant that it was a shade plant, so I guess it's not getting enough sunlight! I try to water it on a fairly regular basis & not get too wet, and I haven't noticed any bugs in a while (we did have red & black beetle-type bugs all over them a month or so ago), so I think I'll try moving it to the sun! Thanks again!
2009-09-07	Susan	10	10	10	10	Yes	Superfast. Good advice. Thank you very much.
2009-08-22	Lana Gruber	10	10	10	10	Yes	Thank you so much for the info. I have used Over the Top and is excellent but somehow this year it was taken off the market but I have inquired and it will be back in action in the spring. I really appreciate such a rapid response and I will go to your website in the future. Thanks again
2009-08-21	Lana Gruber	10	10	10	10	Yes	You were a great help and I will ask for your opinion again if I have other dilimas later on. In OK you always need some advise.
2009-08-21	Victoria	10	10	10	10	Yes	This was great great information. After asking many many people about my hydrangea not blooming, C.L. is the first person who mentioned my flowers being to close to a lawn that gets fertilized. We have a lawn service that does that so that could be a strong possibility.

Expertise

Annuals suggested for specific situations (sun, shade, windowboxes etc) New or unusual annuals are a particular interest of mine, and I grow many of these from seed. I am happy to help problem solve, answer questions about maintenance, and guide you to sources of unusual plants.

Experience

I am a garden writer/speaker/consultant and host of a weekly gardening radio program in the Northeast. I have been gardening all my life for my own pleasure, and started as a professional gardener and garden communicator 15 years ago. I work part-time at a garden center, selling and tending shrubs/trees/annuals/perennials...and doing some propagation and design work. I often think that all these professional activities serve to put a somewhat legitimate framework around a serious case of plant-lust.
