What kind of tree?

There’s a tree in my front yard here in Bangkok, Thailand, that I just don’t recognize. I love the airy look, but it has grown to be sort of scraggly over the past six months. I hope someone can tell me if I can prune it by cutting off higher branches to make it fuller below so I don’t see so much of my wall.

(trumpet-like flowers are yellow and there is some sort of odd ball-like fruit growing, too)

Thanks for any tips.

Has anyone used Instant Flower Garden?

I’m wanting to spruce up the yard of the house we are renting. I don’t want to spend a ton of money on perrenials and annuals that have already grown, so I started with one ring around a tree in the yard with just seeds and it’s working great. Problem is- I live out in the middle of nowhere and can’t find any seeds anymore, everyone’s sold out of just about everything except herbs. So I was wondering if anyone here has every used Instant Flower Garden, and what were their experiences with it?

I am looking for an Online plant nursery that can deliver before Christmas? Anyone know a good site?

I am getting my mother a new plant for her yard for Christmas, the only things that or local nurserys and Lowes or Home Depot has right now are non flowering trees, nothing pretty, My mother is the best when it comes to plants. I want to get her something different as in a flowering shrub, please do not send me links to places that deliver boquets, I am looking for the live growing things. Thanks a ton!

Can you grow and maintain Sweet Pea flowers indoors?

I love Sweet Peas but the harsh sun in my area (no large tree in the yard) is terrible for plants. Does anyone know if I can grow them successfully indoors and not move them outside? I have a green thumb but this climate is a challenge. Also, the same goes for bulb plants. Can I grow those indoors? I love gladiolas but they just burn in the sun and the back yard does not have enough light (covered porch) Thanks for the help.

The best forage for goats?

Hello. I live in south texas and I have one boer goat as a pet. He lives on grain and sudan hay, but I would like to try to grow grass in my yard for him to eat. My yard is approximately a quarter of an acre and is mostly shady, and the soil is very rocky with clay underneath. I don’t know what kind of seed to plant. I have considered planting sudan or johnson grass for him, but are there maybe some other kind of herb or mix that I should plant? Thank you very much for your help.
He’s blind and would’ve been put to sleep if I hadn’t taken him. So I think he would prefer alone to dead. Plus he has the dogs for friends. And he doesn’t eat the weeds or carpet grass that is already in the backyard.
And he gets apples and various veggies on a regular basis, but he lives in the garage and doesn’t go outside much. I want the grass to encourage him to spend more time outside.

What is the best way to do flower beds with a clean simple look?

I live on a military post, the yard has to stay nice. Growing up my parents had landscapers, so I don’t know what to do. I just know what outcome I want. There are three small new bushes freshly planted by housing, and grass has started growing in around it all.

What is this growing in my yard??

I planted mammoth sunflowers last year and next to it grew which looks like a sunflower plant but there was no flowers on it just a weird green thing growing out of the top. Well this year in that same area theres about 25 more tall plants growing there. They look just like sunflower plants tall and same kinda leaves but no flowers just that weird green bunch on top. I tried lookin it up for days and I dont see anything like it.
Could it be an herb that looks like that and grows that tall? Maybe whoever lived here before us grew something there. I have no idea. I dont want to pick it if its goin to be a pretty flower or something but then again if its nothing I want it out.
Tanks hope someone can help. Oh Im in central california if that helps at all.
