low-maintenance grass seed for lawns #865726

Asked April 24, 2024, 12:33 PM EDT

Can you recommend a low-maintenance grass seed for planting a new lawn? I have seen ads for "No-mow lawns", but I don't know if claims made about such grass seed are dependable. A drought, heat resistant grass that needs minimal mowing is desired.

Clear sap on apricot tree #865725

Asked April 24, 2024, 12:33 PM EDT

Hi, I’ve got a healthy looking apricot tree, good growth, good fruit set, bark looks good, foliage looks good, but I’ve noticed a number of blobs of clear amber spots. I can’t see any damage to the tree at the points of sap. Am wondering if you’re able to provide any insight. Thank you!
