I don't know if this is a fungus, mold, or anything of that nature, but it appeared to develop over night. It is mustard in color and not solid. When touched, it acts like a thick, gelatinous substance. I uploaded pictures of it to imageshack to help with the identification process, since I know my verbal description is a bit foggy.

These have been there for years and I went out and decided to see if I could pull some up out of the yard. I bought a house that has been neglected and had as a ton of these from old landscaping. How do you dispose of these??

I keep them in a medium sized pot on my deck so I dont want to move them into a smaller fenced area.They were right in the sun at the edge of the deck but then the squirls kept getting at them so I moved them closer to my house and they didn't get any sun... I also tried putting it in the middle of my deck and they still got to them. Any tips??

I love every season but what is your favorite season and why? Mine is autumn because of the flourescent colors of the leaves when the sun shines through them. I love the subtle change in the weather. I love the smell of wood or leaves burning..I love the deep orange glow of the sunset at that time..etc..

How can I keep the neighbor's fncking cat out of my garden?

I'm an animal lover, but I would just love to shoot this little bastard. He digs my plants up or chews on them, leaving tiny little fang marks. Several have just flat-out died. I keep succulents and cacti, which can be temperamental at times, despite their hardiness.

Is there some kind of spray or something that I can mist my plants with??

Help!!

I was gone for a week and assumed that my flowers would be ok with just the rain. Well, to my horror, when I got home it had not rained in more than a week. The rest of my flowers are ok now, but I can't seem to get the life back into my honeysuckle. When I left it looked beautiful and had a lot of flowers on it. Now it's dried out and looks horrible. It's been a few days and water and plant food have not done anything. Will pruning help? What do I do!?!?

My friend wanted to give this flower to his friend but he can't remember the name of the flower. All he remember was the starting letter.

I don't know why they are mushy. Our lawn is infested with moths. Hundreds of them all over. I looked up borer moths online and the pictures I saw kind of looked like them, but they had black heads, and the ones we have are all tan all over. If they are the case, how do I get rid of them?

There are allso rolly poly bugs all over. Do they eat iris? Do I need to get rid of them?

Do I have to dig up all the iris and separate the mushed ones or can I just dig up the mushed ones and leave the solid bulbs?
