Just found our Knickout Roses are infested with Spotted Lanternflies. My son told me what they were and we confirmed with picture. This is the 1st year we have seen them in our gardens. I plan to use white vinegar to get rid of them. Is the county having a problem with them?

Fig tree suffering #798397

Asked June 28, 2022, 8:17 PM EDT

We have a fig tree (20 years or more) and three weeks ago parts of it started turning yellow, but I see no bugs or rust (which it had last year). The figs on the affected area ripened but are small. About a third of the tree appears okay. Is the fruit okay to eat, or should we forego the crop this year?

What kind of pepper plant do I have? #798389

Asked June 28, 2022, 7:27 PM EDT

The pepper seeds I bought are not what was listed on the packet. One plant has wavy leaves, but otherwise looks like a pepper plant. The flowers are a little bigger, white 6 petal with purple stamen. It is already is growing peppers that start out very yellow, grow straight up, are roundish almost upside-down jalapeñosish. The largest one's tip is skinny and just curved over. They look already like they will at least be the size of jalapeños. They have not been on the plant for long, so I do not know how big they will get.

Overwintering a Strawberry Plant #798386

Asked June 28, 2022, 7:18 PM EDT

Hi there, I love to grow strawberries in the summer, but I have never kept them through the winter. Would this be possible? Could I propagate a cutting of one of my current strawberry plants and put it in a pot to take inside? Even if I did do this, would it produce fruit for a longer period than if it were outside? I’m in the northwest Metro area. Thank you!
