I have this huge tree in my front yard and I would like to plant something around the base of it. The bottom of the tree almost never gets any sun.

we planted a fig tree about 2 months ago and it doesn't look healthy. Hardly any new leaves, if any at all. The existing leaves are yellowing. It's in a fairly high alkali soil.

I have to pick through a lumber pile and don't want to encounter any flesh eating spiders or the like. Is it safer in the winter? The location is S E Wisconsin and now doesn't seem like the best time. Thanks, Jim

Our backyard shade tree was doing poorly due to earwigs, according to the guy at the hardware store. He told us what to get to spray the tree but my kids play around the tree all the time. Could we have brought them in the house? will they do anything to us?

This year I used a pressure canner for my peppers.The instructions said to process at 11 lbs for 35 mins. The peppers were nothing but mush. Last year I used a hot water bath for 10 mins and they were fine.

The brine I use is 6c vinegar to 2 c water.
Can I cut down the process time with the pressure canner since I am using vinegar?

Thanks!

By too long I mean like, 10-50 years. I want a tree that shades in 5 years or less. If you only know the name of one, that's fine because I can look it up. Thanks to all who answer :).

I live in eastern Virginia, away from the shore.

I have 3 tomato plants that have an abundance of fruit on, however they are still green. As people in the UK will know we haven't had the best of weather as far as the sun goes so I am a bit worried that they are going to stay green.

I picked one and put it on the window sill where it gets the sun every morning, but is just went wrinkly but stayed green!

Is there anything else I can do to help them ripenI know I can make Green Tomato Chutney but would like to try a couple more things first.

Thanks

I am 56, going back to lawn and shrubs and I don't know much about shrubs, I know if I spray round up around dahlias it will kill them all by leeching. At this season in zone 7, what would be my best way to dig up a few perennials to move to the back yard and then kill weeds, smooth out and put in lawn there. I know how to do all but what to use to kill weeds before new lawn and saving shrubs,newly planted ones, or should I just dig them up too and put on hold ??? thanks so so much

I live in Central West NSW (north of Dubbo) and I have just purchased a well established Avocado plant - it is a Wurtz. As our soils our quite clay based, I think it would be best to plant it in a large pot. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Also, do I need a second tree for pollination?

Thanks, Toni F
