problematic weed or shrub? please help

Question from Larry Monday

In a section of my lawn I have an issue with the below pictured plant. It has some characteristics of a shrub but not sure what this is or how to eleminate it. The stalk is shrub like in nature. Small flowers and flower pods at the top of the taller plant. Have pulled them out by the roots but they seem to have come back with a vengance. If anyone could assist me in identifying this plant and how to remove it from my yard for good.

Your alert information

Comment from Jean Jeppesen (J)

I was wondering what information you would actually give me when maintenance was due on a plant or tree? Do you give specific fertilizer information and what type of soil said plant or tree needs? Thank you

New Member - question about tomato plants

Question from Diana Grant

Hallo, I'm new - this is my first posting.
I spent a lot of time growing tomato plants from seeds (from a good seed packet with different varieties). I started them in my greenhouse, then grew them on in the garden. Watered them daily when weather dry, flowering was slow. Eventually the flowers developed into tomatoes which turned brown and were unuseable. What did I do wrong?

Hi all, 28 year old starting gardener

Comment from Darren Owen

I hope to gain some experience from this site so all help is welcome.

I Posted this in the 'Container Garden' section and it might be in the wrong place, so i will post it here.

I've recently moved into a new house with my girlfriend and wanted to make my front garden look better. I have stripped everything down apart from (i think) damson plum tree and a little rose bush which only has 3 stems. My garden is divided in 2, with a path way going to the house and slate waste on both sides, i want to make my garden out of planters. i bought 2 Red Star Cordyline Australis Cabbage Palms to put on both side of the pathway leading into the house. i built a homemade planter which is Length 37" Width 29" Depth 12". I would like to get some flowers into the planter and sit it in the middle of one side of the garden. I also bought a Solar Power Cherub Garden Water Feature birdbath, which i thought i could sit in the middle of the planter with flowers of some sort around it. All the help would be much appreciated and my gardening knowledge is at its minimal. Not just advice on what i said but if you could advise me to do some more as well.

Thanks,

Darren

Wall Flowers ?

Question from Colin Hicks

Good day,

I have this flower growing out of the wall of our house. Can't imagine how it got there.
The Virgin Media blokes disturbed the wall when they were putting in the broad band
cable, and it looks like this has caused a row of these flowers to bloom.
Is it possible that someone at 'SHOOT' would know what they are?
Or point me in the right direction.

Thank you.

Colin Hicks
