When can I put rooted willow stems in the ground for zone 6b or zip code 45230, Cincinnati, Ohio. Jody Winkler. jodywinkler43@gmail.com

I’ve found three of these inside and can’t figure out what it is online. Anyone know?

Is it safe to use old galvanized steel for raised bed gardening?

Are they offering a babysitting class at the end of March or early April?

Hi there, and many thanks for offering this service. We have an Orange, Grapefruit, Meyer Lemon and a Key Lime tree that have been residents at our house for quite a few years. We were able to get the Lemon and Lime in the garage to protect them, but the orange and grapefruit were in the ground in the back yard. The orange and grapefruit have lost all their leaves, and we are concerned that they are completely dead. They were wrapped, but when temps are below 10 degrees for hours and below freezing for days, is there any possible chance that we will be able to save them? Our little orange tree blessed us with 79 juicy oranges last season. We surely don't want to loose them! We also had a 15 year old rosemary bush that had never frozen before - and this time it is completely black. Is there any chance it will live? We have a little organic garden, and were able to save our onions, but the beet greens all died down to the ground even though they were covered in straw and then row covers (but we are pickling the actual beats as I am writing this - they are small, but we know they will be tasty!!)

What to do about plants that have apparently frozen ?

Dig them up or wait to see what happens ?

Our church Sweeny Methodist is redoing our prayer garden into a pollinator garden, along with an annual cutting garden. We would also like to incorporate a rainwater catch system. Can the extension office assist with any planning for these 3 items? What does it take to be a certified pollinator harden?

I have 2 very large weeping spruce trees. Squirrels are nipping fresh growth at 2-3 inches and dropping branch ends on the ground. We have a carpet of green beneath the tree. Need we intervene? Trap squirrels to save trees? What should we do?

Hello, I am to mail a check for my two kids for 4H. This will be our first time. The shopping cart says I owe $80.00 but I also see that after a date in January it looks like that should be increased? I would like to confirm how much to make my check for so I do not send the incorrect amount. Thanks.

Hello! This year, in Grand Rapids, we had a grub problem in the fall. We purchased the Meritt and we heard there is a small window for spreading to make sure we kill the larvae. Do you have specific dates and tips for spreading? Thank you!
