Will birds eat milkweed seeds? Or are the seeds poisonous?

I found something new in my lawn, and an Internet search identified it as possible Standing Cypress. Can this survive a summer in SW Minnesota? Should I move it from my lawn to my garden?

Hi, How are you? The top half of the tree isn’t growing any leaves. Please see the attached photo. We planted it two years ago. What can I do? Should the top half be trimmed? Thanks Uma

Would you please id this plant for us. We think it's in the chrysanthemum family, mostly because it's blooming right now. And, it only blooms now, not at any other time. We're interested in taking cuttings. Many thanks!

Please provide me with the best method for permanently removing buckthorn

I have attached photos of our serviceberry tree. It is probably ten years old ... something like that. It has always thrived in the location where it is planted. This past summer was okay, but not its best. I notice there is like a fungus, or some such thing, growing all over the bark. Is that something we should endeavor to eliminate? If so, how do you recommend we do that?

I have several dahlia tubers that sprouted but were not planted in the spring of 2024. What do you suggest I do with them? Also what are your thoughts on digging up the tubers for storage for next spring 2025----do I store the whole clump and divide in spring OR divide them now? Can you suggested a good way to mark the tubers? Has the zone for Brentwood NH changed? I always thought it was 5. thank you, Cheryl Rossman <personal data hidden>

I would like to plant vines in my yard in Denver CO and was wondering if you have any suggestions and/or choices.

I got stung 3x! The are about 0.75 in long. They _do_ sting. My arden is right up agsinst the front of my bedroom window wall! I can't have bees right here, but I don't want to use pesticides on them either. Is this whatpeople csll ground bees? I want pollinators--just not where I have to get stung to worm in my little garden. The garden is actually raised above a row of verical bricks, but the bees are burrowing between & under the bricks. After neglecting my garden in August & September, I came out to pull weeds and plsnt fall garlic. I inadvertantly stuck my pitch fork right down their front door! If these are not "ground" bees, what are they? And how can I help them find a new home?
