I just found a number of lightweight green balls that look like limes growing as weeds in a neglected garden bed. Inside there are seed pods that look like pomegranate seeds but they are white. What are they? It's not easy for me to send you a photo at this time.

I extracted the nectar that was in the frames that I need to store over winter. Can it be given back to the bees? If not what can I do with it? Thx

I live in Bowie, MD. I planned to overseed in September and bought seed from Patuxent Nursery in Bowie that is meets your specs for tall fescue type. Health issues precluded this. It's now 10/29. I wanted to overseed reasonably OK tall fescue (I was going to put down 10% Kentucky bluegrass). I also wanted to till up an area that's overgrown with vines and do a full-on restoration. Is is too late to do this? I read that seed takes about 14 days to germinate. With straw on top of it, will it survive the first frosts? Or should I wait until spring (which I know is less ideal). Thanks, Sandra

My oak tree is dripping a brown liquid onto the sidewalks. Could this be Tannin from leaves and/or acorns or a disease? The big oak tree looks to be about 50 years old.? Please let me know who to call to have our tree inspected by a certified arborist or do you offer this service to Minneapolis residents? Thank you very much.

Purchased Mountain Laurel from Patuxent Nursery May 2024. Planted according to directions. It flourished throughout the summer in partial shade with new leaves of about 2 inches covering the top. In late July, unknown to me, the yard keeper pruned it severly, cutting back all the new growth. Thus began the decline; no new leaves. I kept it moist but it remained dormant with leaves falling from the base. Next came the black spots, either root rot or a fungus or soil too dense. As the photos show, it appears to be dying; is there anything I can do to resusitate it or is it too far gone? It is the perfect shrub for my small yard, which gets sun and shade.

My Green Team would like to start composting at school and we would like to find out if there is anyone that will give us a compost ben?

I had signed up for the Part 2 and was disappointed when it was canceled for low numbers. Perhaps it wasn't wasn't popular because the time for that class was so early in the morning? Could it be offered again some time with a later time slot?

We have a mature 50 foot + hard maple that was struck by lighting it appears.  

Someone came today asking if we want it cut down.  He is telling us it won't survive just cutting out the damaged part.  Is this true of a sales job? 

I am trying to upload photos but unable to it appears. Help

Several neighbors have seen this animal in the woods in our neighborhood and are trying to figure out if this is just a lost dog, coyote, etc. If it’s a dog, I would like to try to find it a home. Our neighborhood borders Patapsco State Park. Thank you, Stacy

Are red-twig dogwood berries toxic to dogs? Is there a list of landscape plants to avoid?
