Tips/Q&A

THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT GARDENING QUESTIONS - PLEASE SEND MORE - and Scroll Down For The Complete Listing!

Although I am unable to address every question or comment personally, I will try to answer as many as possible, especially those of general interest. If you would like to attach a photograph (.jpeg is best format) of your gardening problem or success, please email with your questions to info@gardenopus.com.

To help me answer your question more accurately, please note your USDA Plant Hardiness Zone --- just click on the link if you're not sure. If you choose to provide your City, State and Zip Code, along with details as to the plant's siting within your yard or home, I may be able to determine nuances of climate and microclimate, above and beyond your Hardiness Zone, influential to your success.
