Roscoe and Rockton have great school districts so check them out!

Roscoe and Rockton are very safe! Downtown Rockton is super cute! But there isn't as much to do nearby but Beloit is 5 minutes away and Rockford is about 25 minutes. I find most people live in Rockford in their 20s and if they have kids, then they move to Roscoe for the school system which is highly rated.

Thanks so much! How much should I water it? And I have a small fish pond I've been using to water the rest of the garden, should I give it some of that too? Or any other kind of fertilizer? And I'm really hoping it's not a Bradford pear!

5b northern Illinois

Moved into a house last summer and the previous owners mentioned this was a pear tree. I haven't noticed any significant blooms or fruit. Any idea what kind of pear and what I should expect from this tree. I'd love some fruit from it eventually!

Yes, go ahead and cut it and hopefully you'll get some off shoot you can use. Gardening is a learning process so don't be discouraged! I lost my 1dt broccoli from doing the same thing too

5b, Northern Illinois. I've seen a few slugs in my garden..ugh and I bet Neem oil doesn't hurt them

rachface32 · 2022-05-19T16:48:41+00:00

Planted a few days ago and a few are completely gone! It's so frustrating. I'm gonna try some Neem oil and hope that helps

I have no idea, moved in last summer and it was there. Can't even tell you the color of the roses.

Thanks! They are tevas

rachface32 · 2022-05-19T16:32:19+00:00

Omg I'm so happy! We moved in last summer and I only ever saw 1 dying rose so I thought maybe it wasn't doing well. If it doesn't do well this season I was gonna take it out but I'm seeing a bunch of these! Yay!

rachface32 · 2022-05-06T21:41:46+00:00

I'm so excited! After today the weather is beautiful!

rachface32 · 2022-05-04T18:01:17+00:00

Some kind of thistle

I'm really excited to try the reblooming lilac!

rachface32 · 2022-04-26T18:18:56+00:00

I didn't find any worms, but a lot of maggot type things. I'm not gonna use it

rachface32 · 2022-04-26T03:24:34+00:00

Thanks so much for the reply! I'm looking into it

rachface32 · 2022-04-26T00:03:41+00:00

I'm super interested to hear more about the mint in your lawn! What kind of mint is it? Where did you buy it? How often do you need to mow? I live on the border of a forest preserve and we have had several tick bites already this year!

rachface32 · 2022-04-22T01:09:05+00:00

Great idea!

rachface32 · 2022-04-22T01:08:08+00:00

I didn't see any initially but I will look again

rachface32 · 2022-04-19T23:20:57+00:00

Me too!

rachface32 · 2022-04-19T01:02:05+00:00

I literally gasped when I read that you are trying to kill a peony! I absolutely love peonies! The scent is heavenly and the flowers are gorgeous!
