Does Any One Know How To Take Care Of Azaleas?
I Just Bought Some Azaleas And Want To Know How To Care For Them. Are They Perennials Or Are They Annuals? How Big Do They Get? I Am Going To Be Planting Them Soon And Would Like Any Advise To Get The Best Results From My Plants.
I love these plants, so rewarding!
You can find out about the problems that can happen here:

One or two additional tips:
Since they love acid so much, I take pine needles and bury them underground in and around the place where they grow, and ensure only acid-loving plants are there.
Growing them under a acid-causing tree like a pine tree is ideal with some light shade.
Some taller varieties like sun, and lots of it, it depoends on the variety.
I also make sure to sprinkle epson salts around it annually, just a bit, to prevent the leaves going yellow for lack of iron.
All through the year I give mine a high-grade foliar feed, and always amaze any visitors, who swear it's only supposed to flower twice a year, mine flower year round, since I protect them in winter with extra mulch (pine needled and I break pine cones up too). I've never had one react to the amount of acidity I give it, for some weird reason.
Mine are all in pots or in my rockery, and they make the most beautiful show when there's a variety of them in different sizes and shades, absolutely beautiful!
How Do I Make Compost...............?
My Compost Will Not Activate And I Can'T Afford The Chemicals. What Do I D To Activate It Naturally. Isn'T There Something You Can Do With Amonia
The key is to have a 50 50 mixture of green or fresh material and brown or dead material. In my neck of the woods I use half pine straw and half grass clippings or kitchen scraps (no animal products!). Keep the pile evenly most, not wet and turn at least once a week or when you add new material.
Does Anyone Know Anything About An Italian Stone Pine? (Pinus Pinea)?
First Off My Grandma Bought One Of These Trees And She Wanted A Little Mmore Info On It, So I (Without Thinking) Told Her I Could Look It Up. \ Thing Is, I Hate Researching. I Live In Southern Alabama, And I Want To Know About How Big It Will Get Over The Next Year(S). Thanks For The Help [:
An Italian Stone Pine can reach a height of 100 feet when mature, It will also develop a somewhat flat to rounded crown during that time. Its not an extremely fast grower but I would situate it a ways away from the house or other buildings on the property. Same for the driveway as it's roots can lift or crack pavement and foundations over time. Also even though the needles are small when they first start to grow out they will reach about 8 inches in length when mature. If your Grandma wants to keep it smaller then try growing it in a large container where it will be easier to prune. They also make very interesting Bonsai Trees in my experience.
Can A Pine Tree Be Topped?
Old Pine Tree Partially Dead At The Top If Topped Will It Grow Back Into Shape
No.
Pines only grow at the tips of each branch and the terminal bud on the top. There are not viable buds back beyond this, so cutting back dooms the branch. Eventually it will die as pines shed their older needles and with none to replace them on that branch......
How much of the top is gone? If it is just the tip, yes the pine will continue upward, taking on a more rounded appearance as the immediate laterals will vie for dominance. If you have lost a foot or more, you now have a flat top........it will grow outward as long as those tips remain alive, but not upward.
Spruces and firs are more forgiving as they has buds a bit back from the tip...not much...but enough that they can overcome a lost terminal and continue upward. Sometimes you need to help them a bit by selecting one and supporting it upright for a season until it resumes the dominant terminal bud position and controls the growth of the other laterals who might vie for being "king."
Will My First Love Have Me After This Baggage?
Hi Everyone. Firstly, Sorry About The Spelling And Grammer, I Can Spell But Too Lazy To Sit And Think As I Got Into A Habbit Of Typing How I Txt Spell. Im Really Down As My First Love Jess, Was Everything To Me. We Were About 15 - 18. But She Had To Go To America From Uk. We Would Do The Old Long Distance Relationship For Years Which Obviouslly Really Bonded Us As Talk Was Our Main Source Of Contact. I Loved Her So Dearly, I Was Never A Player And I Just So Badly Wanted To Commit To Her. I Was From A Poor Background And She Was From A Rich Nuclear Famil And I Think They Didnt Approve Of Me. Not To Mentiion They Had High Expectations Of Her. She Would Share This With Me And I Knew She Felt She Had To Live Up To Her Sister (Who Was Also Financially Succesful) And I Would Be Angry And Sad On Her Behalf.....But I Knew Her Parents Didnt Want Her To Focus On A Boyfriend At Such A Young Age. Anyway She Was Amazing, She Was The Opposite To Me Physically, I Am Tanned And Blue Eyes, Light Brown Blondy Hair, She Was Half White And Phillipino.I Knew How Much She Loved Me Just By The Look In Her Eye, I Loved Her With All My Heart. But Cos It Wasnt Going To Wotk, We Only Got To Spend A Few Weeks During The Summer As She Only Came Back To Uk For Holidays, And That Was Split Amongst Friends And Family. Her Parents Said She Couldnt Get A Taxi Anymore As There Was Some Sort Of Incident Round My Area With Someone Getting Abused. It Was The Last Straw For Me, I Knew She Knew It Was Gunna End So I Decided To Just Wakl Back Home As I Was Walking Her Back To Her Friends. I Left Her And Afterwards I Called And She Was Angry And Ended It.....I Was Stupid Back Then, I Once Told Her That I Didnt Notice Her At School Before We Met (She Had A Crush On Me And Would Follow Me About) Secretly I Knew She Was The One Even At 15, I Didnt Tell Her How Much I Fancied Her Out Of The Fact That If She Knew How Vulrable I Was And How Much I Was Amazed By Her Beuty, She Could Crush Me And Use It To Her Advantage. Anyway, We Would Meet Up A Few Times And Get Close Again, But She Would Pull Away And Suddenly Act Cold And Angry, I Once Saw Her In My Local City (When She Visited Uk) And She Followed Me, But Then Suddenly Went Away Before We Could Speak, I Then Got A Text From Her. This Was A Few Yrs Later, Why Did She Still Have My Mobile Number After All That Time. I Tried To Meet Other Girls But Was Just Hoping She Would Call Me. I Then Met A Girl And Thought We Got On (Later Married Her And Found Out Lots Of Lies). Jess Contact Me Out The Blue On Fb With 3 Xxx Wanting To Be Friends, Saying She Got Comfort Out Of It. We Both Had Partners And We Chatted About Music But I Started Getting Feelings For Her.It Wasnt Fair On My New Gf, So I Had To Cut It Off With Jess.....I Felt And Feel So Bad About It, I Know She Loves Me As Much As I Love Her And It Pains Me To Think That I Cut It Off, But I Was In A Relationship And Had Tried To Move On Which I Was. My Ex Made Me Throw Away All Of Jesses Gifts She Gave Me Over The Yrs, But I Managed To Save An Elephant That Said I Love You On It, I Burried It And Its Still In The Place Now, I Know In My Heart Its Not Over With Jess, My Ex Wife Wasreally Insecure And Controlling, I Lost Contact With My Family, My Ex Wife As Been Married 2 Times Now And We Are Both 26. She Would Threaten To Kill Herself In Frnt Of The Children If I Ever Left Her And Would Say Things Like If I Loved Her, I Would Have A Vesectomy.Im Sorry Im Writing Loads Down, I Feel Better Just Writing And Im Not Checking Any Of This, She Would Hit Me And Call Me Names And I Stayed With My Wife Cos I Loved Her And Not Cos I Needed Her, I Convinced Myself I Would Prove Her And Her Parents Wrong, And By 26 I Had A Big 4 Bed Detached House In A Nice Part Of Essex And A House In Pbo. I Had Money 2 Beautiful Girls And A Live In Nanny. But I Diddnt Feel Unconditionally Loved By My Wife, She Would Get Pleasur Out Of Hurtiing My Feelings And After The Break Up, All My Suppressed Feelings Of Jess Came Out, I Realised She Was A Different Nature And She Prob Thinks I Didnt Want Her,,,,,,,I Just Couldnt As I Was Committed, But Now Maybe It Is Possible..............................In Fact I Just Need Her To Stumble N This Message.Maybe If I Write Her Name She Might Google It?

I Love You Unconditionally. If Your Happy Thats What I Want, If Its Me Or Someone Else I Can Take It- Im A Strong Charactor Now.
I think you're making too many assumptions about this girl. She has probably moved on by now. If there's no way for you to contact her or reconnect maybe you should try to move on and see if you can find happiness in other pursuits besides dating. Dating shouldn't take up your entire life and you seem obsessed with this girl. It's not healthy to pine after someone for years. Try to move on for yourself.
