I am responsible for maintaining my grandmothers LARGE garden for the next week. She left one day ago and already some of the flowers look like they’re dying.

A few of them appear to droop and look to be curling up and hardening. I believe she watered them before she left and I watered them again in the evening. The next morning I watered them, then watered them again in the evening. The temperatures been around 90 degrees and about half of the plants are hanging on pots above the fence while the others are in the ground.

The garden is about three feet wide but goes all around the perimiter of the yard and there is a ton of stuff. I usually run the water right where the plants roots are for about ten seconds then move to the next plant, the whole routine usually takes me 45minutes. Unfortunetly these plants aren’t looking too good and she will be very disappointed if she returns home to dead plants.

Any tips on how I can keep them alive?

We planted evergreen bushes in our front yard 2 years ago and our dog ended up using the bush for his restroom throughout the winter and now it’s dying. What if anything can we do to try to bring this bush back to life?

i have a large mesh reptarium and recently transported a palm plant from florida in hopes to grow it indoors. it was half dead when i dug it up, so i removed the dead parts and it really isnt growing or dying. it was planted in mostly sand, but the sand was retaining too much water and killed more of the plant, so i moved the plant into a mix between the sand and new potting soil. any ideas on how to revive this palm?(other tropical plants are growing like crazy in this same environment) thanks!

My trees have been attacked by some type of boring insect. In two weeks 2 have died and the third is dying. Now I have to figure out how to have them removed without damaging my privacy fence.

My cousin and her husband have chickens outside and I was just wondering how they don’t freeze to death during the winter.
