Any LIVER EXPERTS HELP PLEASE! Detox Tea for the liver and kidney(NEED HELP! PLEASE)?
Homeopathics can help you better with this answer. I have taken liver and kidney detox teas and what I noticed was frequent, more clear urine (I had no negative side effets) of which is a good sign of your body detoxing. The ingredients you have listed are also ingredients of the liver/kidney tea that I drink. Most herbal tea manufacturers have formulated their teas from certified and master herbalists and homeopathics.
LFT's don't measure liver function but they do measure liver damage. It's a test helpful with active damage such as hepatitis or a low bile flow such as cholestasis.
I would strongly suggest that you continue seeing a Dr. for your liver problems. The herbal tea will not cure a damaged liver.
Reply:I agree...follow up with a doctor...high LFT could be a sign of something serious, like hepatitis c which is extremely common and very dangerous. The teas won't do a whole lot for you.

Hi,
one way to figure out what all these are, what they are good for and probably how to use them too is if you go to a library and search for natural herbs or something along those lines you should be able to find lots of books that would contain information about different kinds of roots, and plants used for things like cleansing, or even if you search on the internet you would be able to find somehting. Good luck with the cleansing, it's a good and natural way to keep yourself healthy, with avoiding drugs.

I heard mild thistle is good for the liver.
Reply:You can get great detox info on curezone.com
Reply:im all for the natural stuff, but if you lose the liver, you lose your life. if you have no money get on medicaide,or a free clinic,or free trail medicine testing or something. if you wait to long for medical attention on the liver it can be to late for the problem to be fixed.

Can I plant anything next to my well?
We have an ugly well pipe sticking up in our back yard that I would like to camouflage with some plants. However, I am not sure how large I can go, or if it is even a good idea to plant, as I don't know how the roots may interfere with the well pipe. Any suggestions? I live in NY (Mid-Hudson/Catskill area), I would like some color, I prefer plants that ultimately take care of themselves (shrubs or perennials), and the area where the pipe is gets moderate sun but mostly afternoon shade. (I was actually thinking of forsythia initially b/c I don't have any yet and would really like one, but don't know if it would work in that area.)
Can I plant anything next to my well?
just call in your local garden centre they will point out all possibilites. I would go for passiflora
Reply:I put daylilies around mine and haven't had a problem. Good luck!
Reply:Sure, just avoid anything with serious root systems and trees and such that will grow large. I covered mine with a perennial grass planted direclty in front of the pipe, but you can use a shrub or smaller perennial and bush that will not get overly large.
Reply:Don't use chemicals near your well, mix pesticides, fertilizers, herbicides degreasers, fuels or other pollutants. Make sure lawn mowers aren't leaking. Keep sources of E. coli bacteria away, (animal and kitchen waste). Don't let wastes from contaminated sources like garbage and manure piles drain towards your well. Especially during the spring. Do not use bark mulch or wood chips near your well. These organic materials are breeding grounds for insects such As earwigs, which can cause bacteria in your well if not properly sealed.
Mound up the ground around the well. Should slope away from your well. Make sure that your well's casing extends at least 16 inches above the mounded dirt. Keep a permanent grass buffer at least 10 feet around the well.
Loosing eyelid crease.

Can anyone help me identify this shrub?
When I was young, my mother had a shrub in her yard that I have not been able to find anywhere, especially since I don't know its name. It was destroyed many years ago, so I will describe it.
It was a small compact shrub, about 2 feet tall and 2 or 3 feet across. It grew in a perfect mound shape, with the thin branches sort of weeping to form the tight mound. The branches reminded me of the branches of scotch broom, but the shape was nothing like scotch broom. The blooms reminded me of forsythia blooms or carolina jessamine blooms, and it bloomed about the same time as those (early spring). Still, it didn't have the shape of either. It was really pretty with its short ball-shaped mound.
This plant was planted by my mother in the 1940s if that helps. If anyone knows what this might be, please let me know or tell me a website where I might find one for sale.

That is a tough one and I have been sitting here trying to think of some plant specimens from your descriptions. Could it be some variety of a Spirea, Kerria, dwarf Viburnum, or maybe a dwarf flowering Quince shrub. I am not sure what climate zone you live in.
If you have any other information, please feel free to contact me at my website. I would be happy to try and help you find the name of this special shrub. I will link you to my gallery of plant sections. There are a variety of different plants you could view. I will also link you to my site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. There are some different specimens and pictures on some other sections. Good luck to you and have a great day! I hope you find the identity of the shrub so you can plant it!

Reply:Edward or Levi. I don't like any of the girl's names.
If you're trying to make your child stand out, don't do it with a name. Kids, especially young ones, want to fit in with their peers. And an unusual name is an easy target for others to use to tease and torment them. Plus, if you get crazy enough with the name, the kid will have to spell it and explain it to everyone that they meet for the rest of their life. The kid will grow to hate the name, and maybe even change it when they can.
If you want your kid to be special, teach them to be strong, kind, brave, helpful, courteous, and caring. It's a lot harder than just giving them a name, but in the long run, you get better kids that way.

You are definitely on the right track.
I recognise many of those ingredients from other liver cleanses.
You might get some ideas from the following with regard to frequency and merhod., if you want to stick with the claense you have already found.
I would recommend zapping to get rid off the parasites, and then a kidney cleanse to get rid of the kidney stone.
In my opinion. Hulda Clark's methods are the best, as follows.
Dr. Clark's Kidney Cleanse
1st Preparation:
½ package of:
* dried Hydrangea root (hydrangea arborescens)
* Gravel root ( Eupatorium purpureum)
* Marshmallow root (Althea officinallis)
10 cups of cold tap water set the roots to soak for at least 4 hours or whole night
Add:
8oz. black cherry concentrate heat to boiling and simmer for 20 minutes
Drink 1/4 cup as soon as it is cool enough.
Pour the rest through a bamboo strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate.
2nd Preparation:
* 4 bunches of fresh parsley rinse
* 1 quart of water boil for 3 minutes
Drink 1/4 cup as soon as it is cool enough.
Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint
Drink daily for three weeks:
* 3/4 cup root mixture
* 1/2 cup parsley water
* 20 drops golddenrod tincture (omit if allergic)

Reply:STOP!!! Immediately! Your homemade remedies could be very hazardous to your health.
After checking with your primary care physician, see a specialist if that medical doctor sends you for a referral.
If you cannot afford a doctor, then go to a pharmacist...a good one, and tell the pharmacist what you are doing...and what your symptoms are. Perhaps that pharmacist will send you back to your doctor.
Perhaps the pharmacist will recommend something else.
You could be allergic to any of the substances you are taking with all of those ingredients.
Do not eat the root of any of those, some are toxic to some people because of allergies, and some are fine, but you need a specialist to determine your blood tests,
and interpret the results.
You are worth the best results as determined by you and your medical doctor...or clinic, or nutritionalist from your local hospital.

Reply:Liver enzymes are released when the liver has sustained damage. I have a friend whose LFT's are elevated some 30+ years after his bout with Hepatitis.
The problem isn't that you've got elevated liver enzymes, or that your blood "needs cleaning". The problem is that your liver has been attacked. This is a very serious situation, and you definitely need to get serious and GO TO THE DOCTOR.
Oh yea, if there are lifestyle issues here (alcohol, drugs, etc) then you DEFINITELY need to address those.

Present for boyfriend- want to get a plant or tree, but don't know where to start!?
I need to get a present for my boyfirend, our 2 year aniversery is tomorrow! I put it off because I has finals and couldn't think of anything nice to get him.
I am thinking about getting something to plant at his house so we can watch it grow, maybe get some pretty stone to mark it with. I know its cheesy, but I want something sweet that he wouldn't just buy on his own. We plan to build a new house together there, so it might be cool to have something to look back on.
Anyways, I just don't know what to get. I think I am in zone 5 (Western MA). Is there anything hardy I could get that would look nice? He has plants in his yard (lots of lilac and forsythia), and lives on the edge of a forest. There sin't a ton of room, so it can't grow too big. I'm not expecting anything too spectacular, but I don't really want it to blend right in,
Any suggestions?

What about a dogwood tree? They are beautiful trees and look great in woodland settings. They are covered in blooms in the spring and in the fall the leaves turn red and have berries.
Reply:I would suggest a poplar cherry(Prunus amanagowa).This is an upright tree,grows tall and slender and carries attractive pink flowers in Spring.
I've a clematis montana alba growing up mine,this is a self supporting climber which has white flowers and follows on when the tree blossom fades.
Mature diameter of the tree would be app;2 metres,height around 10-12 metres.Both perfectly hardy and last for years.
Reply:you can add a little poem with it something like "
our relationship is as beautiful as this plant
with tender pruning to keep its shape
as we've been doing since our first date
Together we will watch it grow
remember our my love as you well know.
Just thought that off the top of my head I'm sure you could come up with something much more creative, if not you can go on poem.com to get a good one ....good luck
Reply:i would do a search online for the meanings of flowers and/or what colors mean what- start there and pick one that means something to both of you.
examples- a yellow rose i think is good for friendship. here is a site that you could start with- some plants have a lot of history behind them as well as meaning.

Cherrys like Nanking, bloom in the spring, and produce edible cherries. The don't grow very big, look nice year round, and are not very picky on where they grow.
Mountain Ash. Cool bark colour, cool leaf shapes, not very showey flowers, but the berries are an orngey red to deep red and attract birds. They can grow bigger but not to bad. The berries are poinsous to us so don't eat them.
Roses of course are very pretty. They can look good year round. And can be found in lots of differen colours and types.
Crab apple trees or flowering crabs look pretty when they bloom and the crab apples are edible off the tree, made into applesauce, juice, wine etc.
Saskatoons. A very ummy berry. Has white flowers in the summer, a dark purple fruit in Later august and early sept. Bird love them as well and you will be fighting to pick any once they know where they are. We ahve to keep ours under a net.
Flowering plums are nice. Though if you want any fruit from them you need to make sure you get a male tree and a female tree.
I live up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I think we are zone 3 and all of these grow here good. We always get a lot of the cherrys.
Another tree is the mayday tree. Just a warning, the sent of the flowers is very strong and they tend to growe very tall. Also the berries are edible, but nasty tasting. Birds like them though.

Sansevieria - you can tell him this plant can produce oxygen at night.Cool isn't it. It has another name called Mother-In-Law's Touge(Because it will never die), isn't it fun.It is very easy to take and will not die if you forget to water it for a long long time, don't even have to worry when you are away for vacation.Nice indoor plant.
English Ivy - In a hanging basket near window or a small pot on the table. Easy to take care, very beautiful leaves, very romantic.
Codioeum Variegatum Pictum - small pot of plant, green leaf with lovely yellow spots. The plant will change it colour to greenish when it does not have enough light, turn yellowish again when give it sufficient light. People will start talking about it when they see it. Very beautiful and easy care.
If he likes flowering plants - Begonia, African Daisy, Orchid and Tulips.
I am thinking about getting something to plant at his house so we can watch it grow, maybe get some pretty stone to mark it with. I know its cheesy, but I want something sweet that he wouldn't just buy on his own. We plan to build a new house together there, so it might be cool to have something to look back on.
Anyways, I just don't know what to get. I think I am in zone 5 (Western MA). Is there anything hardy I could get that would look nice? He has plants in his yard (lots of lilac and forsythia), and lives on the edge of a forest. There sin't a ton of room, so it can't grow too big. I'm not expecting anything too spectacular, but I don't really want it to blend right in,
Any suggestions?
Present for boyfriend- want to get a plant or tree, but don't know where to start!?
What about a dogwood tree? They are beautiful trees and look great in woodland settings. They are covered in blooms in the spring and in the fall the leaves turn red and have berries.
Reply:I would suggest a poplar cherry(Prunus amanagowa).This is an upright tree,grows tall and slender and carries attractive pink flowers in Spring.
I've a clematis montana alba growing up mine,this is a self supporting climber which has white flowers and follows on when the tree blossom fades.
Mature diameter of the tree would be app;2 metres,height around 10-12 metres.Both perfectly hardy and last for years.
Reply:you can add a little poem with it something like "
our relationship is as beautiful as this plant
with tender pruning to keep its shape
as we've been doing since our first date
Together we will watch it grow
remember our my love as you well know.
Just thought that off the top of my head I'm sure you could come up with something much more creative, if not you can go on poem.com to get a good one ....good luck
Reply:i would do a search online for the meanings of flowers and/or what colors mean what- start there and pick one that means something to both of you.
examples- a yellow rose i think is good for friendship. here is a site that you could start with- some plants have a lot of history behind them as well as meaning.

What kind of parrot has a yellow head, orange chest, green back & green & blue wings?
I found this bird in my forsythia bush and he immediately flew to my head then worked his way down to my shoulder and cuddled and kissed me. He enjoys being held.

You need to tell how big the bird is. It might be a Jenday Conure. How long is its tail? You might want to advertise it on Craigslist. If it's that tame, someone is missing it and would probably like it back
Reply:Please do this bird a big favor and try to find its "rightful" owner. Look around the neighborhood for "Lost Bird" posters (even the local pet stores). Look in your newspaper's lost and found section. Put a FOUND notice at www.911parrotalert.com

How do I keep deer from coming into my yard and eating my plants?
We live in a trailer park and we have had a drought in my state this year. So the deer come out of the surrounding woods and eat my Forsythia leaves from the bushes, etc. In the spring and summer they ate the Day Liliy flowers - they were so nice and orange until they ate them. Grr. They leave behind a trail of their poob in the yard which is supposed to be good for the soil but I worry about them eating my plants. Now it has been raining and I am hoping the deer will eat the new shoots that come up in the woods. I hope deer sleep in the winter. What is there for them to eat in the winter when plants have no leaves? I really don't care but I wonder (no need to answer that). I heard some people actually feed the deer with grain, etc. One lady from Germany told me to put human hair cuttings in the yard and the deer hate the scent of that and stay away. I will try it too. Any ideas please let me know. In the spring I will put a small fence around all my daylilies so I can see thembloom
How do I keep deer from coming into my yard and eating my plants?
I'm certain it is a nusiance and the best way to prevent it is too plant things they don't like. In the meantime be grateful that your garden and your generosity was needed to keep them alive. At least till deer season. Also that God chose you and your garden to send them to.
That is NOT a joke!
1. Plant what deer don't want.
If you've had trouble with deer, you already know the plants they love: cedar, yew, fruit trees, lilies, and hostas to name a few. Fortunately, there are some plants deer seem to dislike. These include most thorny plants and those with fuzzy or leathery leaves.**** {They also seem to dislike lilac, forsythia, spirea, and potentilla.}****** Other landscape plants they will generally avoid are paper birch, American holly, drooping leucothoe, Colorado blue spruce, and flowering dogwood.
What deer eat (and how much of it) depends greatly on the season, the particular plant, the weather and the availability of other foods. Generally speaking, the more hungry they are, the less selective they'll be.

Reply:I know how you feel (kind of...) I have kangaroos that eat all of my plants. Its really hard to keep them out because they can jump over fences! I found a recipe that puts them off a bit, but it really smells. Take 5-6 eggs and break them into about a litre of water. Mix this up well, and put it in a container (with a lid) and leave it in a warm place (outside in the sun) to go off for a few days this takes about 3-4 days.
Mix this brew up with 20-30mL of acrylic paint. (any colour) which will help the mix stick to the plants.
Spray it on your plants. It works by putting off plant eaters because they dont like off protein. Good luck!
Reply:Here is a book you can get from the library or buy...not too costly $12.95 It is called Deer Proofing your yard and garden. The author is Rhonda Massingham Hart. It covers almost any solution that has been written. I live right in the Manistee National Forest and the deer do not bother my plants. Also deer sometimes get a bad rap. Quite often what is blamed on a deer is damage done by rabbits. Look at how the plants have been damaged. If the plant is ripped and somewhat shredded, deer have probably done it. If it is a clean cut, rabbit. Their poop even looks similar. Good luck with a fence...it will need to be 6 foot or better to keep a deer from getting in. Now here is another suggestion. There is metal sheeting that you put up on a roof or the side of a pole barn. It is a metal sheet with ripples. It makes a house look like it has a tin roof. Deers absolutely do not like to walk on this surface. I guess a waffle appearance describes it better. I have this stuff all around the perimeter of my garden and the deer will not walk on it. Deer eat tree bark in the winter. If you walk in the woods and notice a tree with stripped bark, a deer has probably been to lunch. But, try the book. Use Liquid Fence and you will be broke in no time. The deer disregard it and you will be enforcing or testing their guarantee. Been there, done that, used it, no good.

Reply:The only permanent solution is to plant landscape that the deer do not like to eat.
There are deer scent products you can put out, some really smell bad.
I use foil pie tins, foil streamers tied to plants.
In general, you need to appeal to more than one of their senses, make the plants taste bad, bad smells, motion etc.
Once they really actively feed on your stuff, they are very hard to disuade.
OK, cant leave this out I guess, some say urinate around your plants, thats your call.

Reply:You can't very well replant your whole landscape to alleviate the deer coming in and eating the leaves and flowers. This just wouldn't be feasible, besides, it would be alot of unnecessary work on your part. There are easier solutions to take care of the problem and one of them is with a product called "Liquid Fence". This is an all natural, biodegradable chemical, that when sprayed on the foliage, deters the deer from even wanting to get close to it, let alone...munch on it. The company will even stand by their products and gives a 100% moneyback guarantee if your not fully satisfied, which is better odds than playing "blackjack" at the Mirage Casino...lol. This product sales at some retail stores but I don't know which ones right off hand. You can contact them to find out which ones, or buy it online if this is easier. Iam providing a link with info on this product as well as all their natural repellents below. Hope this answers your question.

I planted a renegade rose branch, will it grow?
We moved to a new home last summer and it came with a beautiful rose bush in the back with gorgeous pink mini blooms...and right next to it, a peony offspring was intertwined with what I thought was a baby from the rose bush. So I thought I'd sacrifice the peony since I have others that are well established, and move the baby rose bush to the front where there'd be more sun and I could enjoy it more. Come to find out when I started digging, it was attatched by a nice thick root to the main rose bush. I had no idea roses did this! Well, the damage was done, I sliced right through that big fat root, so I thought I'd just put it in the ground up front anyhow and see what it does. Has anyone done this before with positive results? Is there anything I can do to help it along? I also moved another rose that looks to be only a few years old from the other side of the house that was being over grown by a forsythia...and he's looking a bit weepy! Hope I didn't just murder my roses!
I planted a renegade rose branch, will it grow?
Only time will tell unfortunately. A lot depends on the environment they are in. Make sure to feed it fertilizer!
hey! It's great that you moved them to where there is MORE sunlight! That can't hurt!

Hedge for wet, low area. What plant to use?
Our backyard property line is on a low, lying wet area. It backs up to a golf course, and we want privacy and a sound block from road noise. There are also telephone lines that run directly above the property line and a road runoff sewer line that runs under it.
The pines the previous owner planted parallel to the property line, set in about 10 ft., have such short roots that they are prone to get blown over because the ground is so wet. We have thought of replacing the pine trees with some kind of cypress trees then a couple of pear trees in front of them and a couple of forsythia's at the corners of the yard.
If we had plants that were water loving then perhaps we could get the benefit of a drier yard from the trees %26amp; bushes sucking up some of the water. Our yard, from about 20" to the property line, tends to stay very wet and soggy most the summer so we can only use 1/2 the yard most the season.
Any suggestions about a better choice of hedge plant or trees? Or other solutions?
Hedge for wet, low area. What plant to use?
You have perfect conditions for dogwood shrubs. I like red twig dogwoods because they have interesting winter color. If you don't want them to be 12 ft tall, there are dwarf varieties that top out at 6-8 feet. There is a yellow twig variety as well.
Pussy willows also appreciate wet feet and will grow quickly. That is another one that will reach 12 feet easily.
If you want a groomed hedge, just train them right and you will have a manageable hedge.

Does this poem make anyone else emotional? Don't you think it is very well written?
To a Sad Daughter by Michael Ondaatje
I love this poem it is great. What do you think?
All night long the hockey pictures
gaze down at you
sleeping in your tracksuit.
Belligerent goalies are your ideal.
Threats of being traded
cuts and wounds
--all this pleases you.
O my god! you say at breakfast
reading the sports page over the Alpen
as another player breaks his ankle
or assaults the coach.
When I thought of daughters
I wasn't expecting this
but I like this more.
I like all your faults
even your purple moods
when you retreat from everyone
to sit in bed under a quilt.
And when I say 'like'
I mean of course 'love'
but that embarrasses you.
You who feel superior to black and white movies
(coaxed for hours to see Casablanca)
though you were moved
by Creature from the Black Lagoon.
One day I'll come swimming
beside your ship or someone will
and if you hear the siren
listen to it. For if you close your ears
only nothing happens. You will never change.
I don't care if you risk
your life to angry goalies
creatures with webbed feet.
You can enter their caves and castles
their glass laboratories. Just
don't be fooled by anyone but yourself.
This is the first lecture I've given you.
You're 'sweet sixteen' you said.
I'd rather be your closest friend
than your father. I'm not good at advice
you know that, but ride
the ceremonies
until they grow dark.
Sometimes you are so busy
discovering your friends
I ache with loss
--but that is greed.
And sometimes I've gone
into my purple world
and lost you.
One afternoon I stepped
into your room. You were sitting
at the desk where I now write this.
Forsythia outside the window
and sun spilled over you
like a thick yellow miracle
as if another planet
was coaxing you out of the house
--all those possible worlds!--
and you, meanwhile, busy with mathematics.
I cannot look at forsythia now
without loss, or joy for you.
You step delicately
into the wild world
and your real prize will be
the frantic search.
Want everything. If you break
break going out not in.
How you live your life I don't care
but I'll sell my arms for you,
hold your secrets forever.
If I speak of death
which you fear now, greatly,
it is without answers.
except that each
one we know is
in our blood.
Don't recall graves.
Memory is permanent.
Remember the afternoon's
yellow suburban annunciation.
Your goalie
in his frightening mask
dreams perhaps
of gentleness.

"I am from clothespins,
from Clorox and carbon tetrachloride.
I am from the dirt under the back porch.

Sorry, Dallas Princess, but I don't know you well enough to have any notion about where you are from. You can do this metaphorically, with allusions about your ancestors, or you can do it literally, with a description of what it felt like when you left the womb and entered the world. Or the first home you were aware of (have you lived in the same house all your life or have you moved?) Or how your world changed when you moved from being a carefree child to attending school. Or -- any other gateway that led you from one state of being to another.

You are definitely on the right track.
I recognise many of those ingredients from other liver cleanses.
You might get some ideas from the following with regard to frequency and merhod., if you want to stick with the claense you have already found.
I would recommend zapping to get rid off the parasites, and then a kidney cleanse to get rid of the kidney stone.
In my opinion. Hulda Clark's methods are the best, as follows.
Dr. Clark's Kidney Cleanse
1st Preparation:
½ package of:
* dried Hydrangea root (hydrangea arborescens)
* Gravel root ( Eupatorium purpureum)
* Marshmallow root (Althea officinallis)
10 cups of cold tap water set the roots to soak for at least 4 hours or whole night
Add:
8oz. black cherry concentrate heat to boiling and simmer for 20 minutes
Drink 1/4 cup as soon as it is cool enough.
Pour the rest through a bamboo strainer into a sterile pint jar (glass) and several freezable containers. Refrigerate.
2nd Preparation:
* 4 bunches of fresh parsley rinse
* 1 quart of water boil for 3 minutes
Drink 1/4 cup as soon as it is cool enough.
Refrigerate a pint and freeze 1 pint
Drink daily for three weeks:
* 3/4 cup root mixture
* 1/2 cup parsley water
* 20 drops golddenrod tincture (omit if allergic)

This is just the usual mixture of mostly anaerobic bacteria anyone has in their mouth - nothing to worry about. The findings don't imply anything about your gingivitis or whatever plagues you.

What point of view is the poem "Where I'm From" written in???
Where I'm From
I am from clothespins,
from Clorox and carbon-tetrachloride.
I am from the dirt under the back porch.
(Black, glistening,
it tasted like beets.)
I am from the forsythia bush
the Dutch elm
whose long-gone limbs I remember
as if they were my own.
I'm from fudge and eyeglasses,
from Imogene and Alafair.
I'm from the know-it-alls
and the pass-it-ons,
from Perk up! and Pipe down!
I'm from He restoreth my soul
with a cottonball lamb
and ten verses I can say myself.
I'm from Artemus and Billie's Branch,
fried corn and strong coffee.
From the finger my grandfather lost
to the auger,
the eye my father shut to keep his sight.
Under my bed was a dress box
spilling old pictures,
a sift of lost faces
to drift beneath my dreams.
I am from those moments--
snapped before I budded --
leaf-fall from the family tree.

In gardening, what's the term for using nature signs (not calendar dates) to determine when to plant, etc.?
The only example I can remember is that the right time to plant beets is when the forsythia is in bloom. The practice is supposed to be far more reliable than just going by calendar dates, and I'd love to find out more, but I can't remember the word!
In gardening, what's the term for using nature signs (not calendar dates) to determine when to plant, etc.?
Lunar planting is influenced by two factors:
The lunar phase controls the amount of moisture in the soil. This moisture is at its peak at the time of the new and the full moon. The tides are highest at this time, when sun and moon are lined up with earth. Just as the moon pulls the tides in the oceans, it also pulls upon the subtle bodies of water, causing moisture to rise in the earth, which encourages germination and growth. Tests have proven that seeds will absorb the most water at the time of the full moon.
The astrological signs of the zodiac correspond with the elements of water, earth, fire, or air. Each plant has a preference for what elemental sign it is planted in. The best time for starting seeds of most annual plants is during the fertile water signs, but root crops like earth signs, and flowers especially like the air sign of Libra. The moon sign changes every few days.

***WILL this warm spell affect my flowers?***?
Will the extended warm spell we've been experiencing in Pennsylvania this winter adversely affect the plants? In the past month I have seen forsythia blooming and crocus' and other spring bulbs starting to appear. Will they recover or I have lost the bulbs I've put in?
Many thanks for the information.
***WILL this warm spell affect my flowers?***?
Those bulbs that flower.......have flowered for the season, they won't send up another at the appropriate time. However the plant will send up leaves, recharge and hopefully get a proper winter next year.
As for the woody plants, this is a bit more frightening. Flowering is one thing, leaf-out is another. Fortunately many woody plants have back up buds for the leaves.....so if the first set is lost if they emerge too soon, then the second set willl appear. The tree will be sparse but at least it is attempting to recharge it's "batteries." For trees that must use this emergency system, I sure wouldn't be pruning or damaging the plant in anyway this coming year. Activating the "emergency" system is a big energy drain on the woody plants that may interfere with the on-going wound compartmentalizing process. You don't want more wounds for the plant to manage.
Reply:The bulbs aren't lost because they come back every year,they just woke up early.

The colder seasons in Long Island, New York?
A few questions regarding the weather in Long Island during late fall, winter and early spring:
When can you expect the trees to start shedding their leaves in the fall?
When do the first frosts typically occur?
What would be considered an "unusually early" snowstorm calendar-wise?
Just how cold (actual temperature, not wind chill) are the winter months on average?
How late (toward the springtime) is there still a reasonable possibility of having snow?
When do the early bulb flowers, forsythias, plums and magnolias typically begin to bloom?
The colder seasons in Long Island, New York?
When can you expect the trees to start shedding their leaves in the fall?-- Mid to Late October, and sometimes even early Nov.
When do the first frosts typically occur? Late October
What would be considered an "unusually early" snowstorm calendar-wise? Early November. Its not unheard of to get October snow, but rarley would accumulate
Just how cold (actual temperature, not wind chill) are the winter months on average? 40 would be about the normal high. But anywhere from 30-45 would be in the normal range for high temps. 20s at night.
How late (toward the springtime) is there still a reasonable possibility of having snow? Mid to late april on long island.
When do the early bulb flowers, forsythias, plums and magnolias typically begin to bloom? Not 100% sure on this one, but I would say may
Reply:It's very cold for most of the late fall and winter because it's surrounded by water. Depending on what areas you go to, you may be near a beach which makes it feel even colder.

How to improve this yard at minimal cost, but achieve a dramatic uplift. ?
Here is the picture.
http://www.cgrer.uiowa.edu/people/tchai/...
My initial thought is having several (5-6) small bush plants ( Maybe Forsythia, I live in southeastern iowa, 5a zone,
http://www.naturehills.com/new/product/s...
any other suggestion?) lined up at the upper part. Then put mulches underneath.
Below that we have to buy more of the same jupiter (blue rug jupiter, I guess) to put in those red-mulch area. Then put in more of the same mulch.
In between those to regions, I am debating whether to have a layer of bricks instead of the black plastic seperating things. Not sure whether that will look good at all.
At the bottom there are two flower beds on both sides of the stair. I'll prune those invading jupiters to better define the upper line. Flowers came out last spring, along with weeds. I cannot tell what to keep until some flowers bloom. Do I better redo everyting, including the fabric?
How to improve this yard at minimal cost, but achieve a dramatic uplift. ?
Forget the fabric. use newspaper instead. It adds organic material to the soil and cost nothing. If you put down several layers, spray a little water over them to hold them in place and then put mulch on top, you will have a nice bed.
Forsythia tends to get large. Is that what you really want?
What if you paint the fence? You could paint flowers and a birdhouse, etc along this section and then plant. Or you could simply paint it a color that matches your house and then plant.
I am from Alabama and am not certain about which plants would do best in your area. Go to a couple of really good nurseries and look around, ask questions and get some ideas. You do not have to purchase anything.
I know you may have spring fever and want plant, and plant, and plant, but it might be best to wait until the fall. That way you can save the plants you want and the new plants will have the fall to become established.
Incorrect ly pruning junipers will do more damage than good...perhaps leaving them more an eyesore than an asset.
But, the best advice I can give you is to take the time to smell the flowers.

Reply:What a great area! This is just my thoughts. I'd redo the whole area. Totally get rid of the juniper. It's old school. I think another tier in there with brick would be really nice. A couple nice tree's. I love the Japanese maples. Maybe throw in a couple of butterfly bushes. They are easy to deal with. You could even do grass up at the top if you can get a mower up there...then do the trees and some shade plants down below. That would make it look more park like. Have fun. :)

Reply:What a great area! This is just my thoughts. I'd redo the whole area. Totally get rid of the juniper. It's old school. I think another tier in there with brick would be really nice. A couple nice tree's. I love the Japanese maples. Maybe throw in a couple of butterfly bushes. They are easy to deal with. You could even do grass up at the top if you can get a mower up there...then do the trees and some shade plants down below. That would make it look more park like. Have fun. :)
