I recently harvested some mistletoe from our tree out front. I was wondering if anyone can share some good info on preserving it so it retains its color through December?

I'm used to doing it in the spring - usually I just pull out a stem and plop it in the ground by itself. Next season it turns into a bush/cabbage-like bunch. Question is, can I do this now? If I do, will it turn into a "bush" in the spring? The plant is still blooming. I live in Maryland/metro DC/Balto area. What do you think? Thanks

I'm just north of Houston, and I have St. Augustine grass. Last winter, the lawn just sortof went into a no-mow needed stasis over the winter months, then rebounded in the spring.

Ideally, should anything be added to the soil during the fall-winter time when the lawn is in stasis, or just let it go until spring with occasional watering?

First time growing quince. The fruits are falling off the tree here in Zone 4 but they are still hard. Is this normal?

My lawn is just terrible. I fertilize it and plant new grass seed every year, but it dies every summer. I think I have bad soil or something. The grass does okay for awhile, but as soon as it starts getting hot, the grass starts dying. The only thing that survives is the crabgrass.

I know crabgrass doesn't look as nice as normal grass, but anything is better than a completely dead front lawn. I was wondering what would happen if I just planted crabgrass all over the whole lawn on purpose. Does anyone ever do this? I can't afford to replace all the topsoil in my yard.

Is there any reason I shouldn't have a yard full of crabgrass? Would my neighbors hate me or think I'm weird? If this isn't something that's unacceptable, where would I find crabgrass seed?

It has a roundish type of fruit or nut. The shell is splitting and inside is a brown nut looking thing a little smaller than a golf ball. Inside this nut type exterior is a green substance like the inside of an apple only harder no distinct odor. The leaves are turning yellow and the nut type things are falling out of their shells. The tree is not very large and the fruit almost seem heavy for the plant. Does anyone know what this is?

I live in Central Florida and the humidity is high and the heat index can be very high as well. I also want to make sure that the turf is strong.

The lawn is in Southern England.

I have heard of scarification but know little about it or when to do it - also I would prefer not to pour too many chemicals over the place if it can be avoided.

I would like to do this myself rather than get in professional help.

The lawn is approximately 100m²
