    over seed lawn #851405

    Asked September 27, 2023, 1:16 PM EDT

    This summer, tree removal from our yard resulted in extensive lawn damage. We did not attempt to repair the damage because of the dry conditions. How late into the fall can we over seed areas and expect any newly germinated grass to survive the winter? Would it be better to wait until next spring to repair the lawn?

    Replacing our Burford Holly hedge #851403

    Asked September 27, 2023, 1:11 PM EDT

    Part of our Burford Holly hedge is dead, and the rest has gotten too leggy. We have loved it, and would like to know if it is native to Maryland, and if not, we would love some suggestions as to what native plants would be similar, evergreens, attractive to birds and pollinators, and would thrive in full sun in winter, part sun in summer. Thank you very much for your advice.

    Dying Laurel #851397

    Asked September 27, 2023, 12:12 PM EDT

    Height: about 8 or 9 feet. It was transplanted from 20 feet away (it was growing too well and took over the path), and never recovered. It looks like this now. What can I do? Its brother is doing very well.

    Narcissus triandrus Thalia - when to plant #851389

    Asked September 27, 2023, 11:35 AM EDT

    I bought Thalia and was told to plant bulbs now. I did. I subsequently bought some more Thalia and the nursery employee told me to plant them after the first frost (we have not had one yet). The nursery further instructed me to dig up the Thalia I already planted because the "soil it still too warm". They feared that the planted bulbs mights sprout leave and then freeze. So, what to do? Pull up and replant later in the fall? Leave the planted bulbs? Thank you.

    What to plant now (late Sept) on shady Raleigh yard #851388

    Asked September 27, 2023, 11:34 AM EDT

    Hi Extension folks, Our yard has tree cover (pecan, magnolia, poplar, maple) with a bit of sun mid-day to afternoon. It's a bit muddy at the moment and I'd like to establish some ground cover, especially pollinator (hummingbird) friendly stuff. A bit of Monkey grass and violets are present in patches. TIA!

    Asked September 27, 2023, 11:29 AM EDT

    I have noticed that quite a few shrubs etc at the Mn Arboretum are rated as zone 5. I would like to know what techniques the Arb does to have such a good success with these plants.

    Hard White Cauliflower-like Growth in Lawn #851382

    Asked September 27, 2023, 10:57 AM EDT

    I found several areas just under my grass where there is hard white growth; eventually it starts growing up through the grass. It feels almost like concrete when you step in it. The pieces of it can be sectioned off, like cauliflower. I’ve had to dig it out, leaving 1-2” deep areas - usually much larger in area than I photographed. Can you identify what it is and how to treat it? Thank you!

    Stink Bugs #851377

    Asked September 27, 2023, 10:13 AM EDT

    Every year for the past 10-15 years, around this time, the stink bugs congregate on windows and doors, trying to get into my house. So far this year, I have only seen one. Where are they?
