tolerates in My Home& Garden

Does anyone know of an annual flowering vine that can tolerate dog urine? My boyfriend made a nice big kennel for his dogs. I want to plant something on the south side for shade (they have a big shed for shade too, this isn't the dog's only means) and privacy. Plus, I like trying new ideas and don't want something poisionus if they chew on the leaves. I love flowers, but don't want something that would hurt dogs. I live in Zone 4. Thanks! ...

Stay away from ash. The emerald ash borer has made its way into Ohio. When they are found, they have to cut down, chip and destroy ALL ash trees within a 5 mile radius to keep them contained. I believe somewhere east of Easton a couple years ago, they had to do just that. And now Upper Arlington is proposing getting rid of all their ash trees just to be safe. Williows ARE lovely, but if you're in the city limits, you may not be allowed to plant them, as their roots are ESPECIALLY water-seeking, and can get ...(Answered by Cat)

Lavender is a family of some 25- 30 plants native to the western half of the Mediterranean and Africa. These plants will not survive damp winter rains without excellent drainage or summer humidity without good air circulation and lots of sun. Even partial afternoon shade can cause lavender to grow sideways as it reaches for the sunlight....(Answered by gardengallivant)

Digitalis do not do well in full sun. That may or may not be an issue for you. The drooping thing sounds like lack of water, and if you just planted them and if they were root bound they will need water to get established. They may or may not send up more flower shoots if you cut them back, but the blooms demand a lot of water and removing the blooms can save overly-stressed plants. I would try watering them every day or every other day, depending upon the weather and temperature you have, and try cutting ...(Answered by raptorsmoonrising)
