I'm not an expert; therefore, I need more info. about your plants to be able to help you. If I can't find the info from my boyfriend or online, I'll ask the people near my neighborhood. There's a nursery house near my house. Those people know a bit about plants :wink: .

Do you mean fertilizer? If it is then the “Miracle Grow” brand is one of the best. However, if your plants are completely dead then there is no way to save them.

My whole lot is about 17000 sq feet. The backyard itself is about 8000 sq feet. It is a quiet big yard.

Well if the plants are dead, but the roots are still alive, there is a big chance for them to grow back (like they usually do every winter). The roots are the main key to bring plants dead or alive. Work on the roots, my boyfriend said. And as like Vince recommended, fertilizing the roots with that brand or any brand (this is a must in order to bring your plants back). Or you can do it with water. Also, trim all the dead parts, so your plant can be able to grow back with new parts. I've read somewhere this is like a new touch-up or something for the plants, ike humans need a touch-up to feel pretty and alive :lol: .

Yes Len. You’re quite right. If the root is not completely dead, there is a change to grow it back. I am not sure what kind of plants she has but my suggestion is water them daily but not too much. Keep the soil moisture and put them under the sun light. When you use fertilizer follow the direction on the label before you using.

I love gardening especially in Spring. Everything is in bloom and green. When we moved into our house there were no plants at all. We have been here five years now and my back yard is beautiful. I have planted alot of native plants (australian). Like Bottle-brush, grevillea etc. The reason for this as they don't need a lot of water and they thrive in the climate here. I have also planted frangapani trees, palms etc it is a very diverse back yard. My husband let me have a large garden up the back and that is where I plant all my annuals and seedlings; there is also a bird bath and a bird feeder up there so we attract all the local wildlife. I LOVE SPRING! 8) :)

Vince I love the sound of your yard (your patio sounds like ours) we love to bbq in summer so that was the first priority.

A suggestion though; if you want a fast growing hedge buy some CONIFERS. There are hundreds of varieties they are glorious to look at and can be hedged. You need to speak to a nursery though as some can take years to grow. I bought some for the purposes of fencing and after four years they are 10 feet tall. As I said there are slow growing ones too so you will have to check your variety carefully. 8)
