    Bad Soil?

    Hi Bob! I have some questions to ask you before I can think of some solutions! Do you do crop rotation? You should never plant the same crops in the same spot in the garden every year...Each species uses differing amounts of nutrients in the soil and if these nutrients are not replaced yearly...

    Pumpkin issues

    Hi Nora. They look bad! Powdery mildew, whitefly, as well a wilt conditions, due to overly humid conditions and poor air circulation. Are these growing in a greenhouse? There is nothing you can do but pull them and try growing them in a different area outdoors next year!

    New to astilbe

    Hi sranna. Welcome to our forum! Astilbes are perennial, and being newly planted they usually do not flower the first year. Astilbes can be a bit finicky as to how deeply they are planted....the crown of the plant needs to be level with the soil surface. You may need to dig them and reset them...

    Aralia - crack in the trunk

    Hi Touelve. Looks to me that watering is the main issue. The soil looks like it is too wet from overwatering. This issue has been over the long term and the plant cannot handle it. The pot is also too small for the plant that size. Possible solutions: You can cut out and remove all...

    Help! Question on garden hoses

    Hi Todd, Well, the rule is that the higher the price the better the quality of the hose construction! And, yes, you do need to drain it in the Fall so you can store it away dry!! ;) I always zero in on the mid priced ones ....make sure they have brass fittings and are kink free. They will last...
