It has lost all its leaves and the smaller branches are getting extremely brittle. The larger branches seem to be cool to the touch like they still have moisture in them. The trunk has bark that is splitting and coming apart.

Has anyone had any experience living with skunks in their yard? If so, did they become a problem? Recently, I have had a family of them move under my shed in the backyard. As of yet, they have not been a problem. I like them and enjoy watching them, but am wondering if I should trap them and move them somewhere else. I refuse to poison them.

We planted pumpkins for my daughter, they are huge, oval, weigh at least 20-25 pounds and do not appear to wish to turn orange, is this because of the heat? Are they ruined?

I have NO IDEA what gorgeous tropical looking flowers I see out in this person's yard every time I pass by their house on the way to work.
But they are VERY tall, atleast 6 feet, lots of beefy leaves flowing over the sides--the flower appears to be light orange at a distance.
I WANT THOSE IN MY GARDEN !!! :-)
hey, got any idea what these might be??
thx

My sister-in-law had her husband remove the deflector on the discharge of their riding lawn mower and I tried to tell her how dangerous this was. Any help?

How can I remove tree stumps that range from 3 inches to 12 inches? I would like to get rid of the roots also. If I buy the tree rot won't the root grow back when I get rid of the tree stump? Does the stump decompose back into the ground or do I have to pick up the remains? How can I pull it out with a tractor or truck? Where do I place the attachement bolt? Can I even do that? Help I am at a lost? Please give some suggestions.

Hello,
I have a young commmon lilac plant (three stems out of one plant and about 50cm high). All the leafs are breaking and are turning yellow. I can't see any pests on it, no bugs, etc.
Does anyone know what it might be?

This is my first garden and a melon has started growing. How long before it is ready to be cut and eaten? Web sites would be nice. And how long for tomatos?

My hibiscuses, especially 1 bush, the yellow one are showing signs of stress--yellow leaves, smaller flowers or no flowers at all. I've fertilized them 3 tmes this season, 2x with miracle gro and once with osmocoat. I water once a day, though sometimes that doesn't seem to be enough I've got them in a morning shade, evening sun position. I live in North Texas.

Help!!

Hello all. I planted a 8-9 foot tall DD Blanchard (Northern Hardy) Southern Magnolia back in April. I am in St. Louis and it was doing great up until about a month ago, but on new growth (probably 1-2 feet) and was healthy. I then added about 3 inches of white gravel around it and on top of the mulch and it started dropping leaves and about half the leaves are now brown and falling off. I removed most of the rocks and watered it thouroughly. I have heard the heat from the rocks can kill them? Do you think this guy will makie it now and is there anything I can do to help it more??

I have planted a few new perrenial shrubs this year. My question is should I cut them back to the ground before winter, or should I just leave them loose their foliage and leave the bare branches there all winter? If I should cut them down, how far and when? If I should let them be, does the new growth come from the ground or from the bare branches next year?
ALSO, I have new daylilies this year. Should I cut these back to the ground as well? Is there any special care for them?

HOW ABOUT Rose of Sharon care?

How do I get rid of reptiles like geckos and maybe snakes and armadillos in my front and back yard other than the expensive way of bringing in an extermination team? I tried those seeds on my lawn but it's a time hassle and the rain washes it away. Thanks.
