Please help me identify the problem with my lemon and tomatoe plants.  These two plants are growing in the same bed not far away from each other and exhibiting simular signs.  Please see pictures.   Thank you. 

My husband and I have a large, deep planter box that we filled with bagged soil last year. Last year, we planted a number of seeds, which sprouted beautifully but then failed to grow further/thrive. I tested the soil with a home test kit, and it showed a surplus of phosphorous. So, we replaced most of the soil in the box, but when I tested again this year, the phosphorus level is still showing up as “surplus.” (Perhaps this is a problem with Alaska soil?)  Are there any steps I can take short of replacing the soil (which is time consuming and expensive) that would help address this issue? Nitrogen and potassium levels are normal, and pH is a bit high (~7.5), but not crazy.

30 year old blue spruce is 10 ft from the house. is it to close to be safe for the house? can the tree's spread be significantly trimmed so the branches are away from th house?

How can I get an accurate soil test for ph done. I live in Houston, Harris, Tx.

Hi,

Have a coppertone that is growing odd leaves. Is this actually a growth or a different plant, like a weed? This coppertone was planted in 2020 but was damaged in February 2021 freeze. However, when I pruned the dead segments off the coppertone, saw this growing alongside it. Was not sure if it was a weed or a deformed part of the plant courtesy of the freeze. 

Thanks
