In some places "ground nut" means the same plant as what we in the USA call Peanut. The other ground nut(Apios americana) is a climbing or...
I use BT for leaf-eating caterpillars and neem oil for some others. Neem is also a fungicide so it's handy to have around. Don't apply it when...
I had one dahlia that lived over- surprise! Always treated them as annuals here in 6b- now 7a. Just glad I got to move without having to pack it...
