Hello there, Please see attached photos for examples of discoloration and disease a jasmine vine against my back fence. It was planted ~4 yrs ago, in SE PDX, where it gets a good amount of sun in summer. It has done very well until this year, when it developed spots on many of the leaves. A similar vine further down the fence died completely over the winter. If you can provide any insights into what this is and how I should treat it, I would be very grateful. There is a kiwi next to it that does not appear to be affected. The dogwood in front of it also seems ok. Thank you! Best regards, V

Hello. after a home build this year I'd like to get some vegetation going in the forms of trees, grass and wildflowers. can you suggest which trees would do well up there and a source or two for bulk grass and wildflower seed.

Our boxwood have been in about 12 years, We keep them trimmed in a low hedge but this spring they have become anemic and yellow looking. Last fall we did spray them with a freeze burn liquid that our local nursery recommended. Do they need iron? How do we apply for quick recovery or please advise with other suggestions. thank you

Hello, I have a peace plant that used to flower. After I repotted it, it’s not bloomed again. It remains in the same place in my house. Similarly, my Cala lily bloomed the first two years I owned it. It’s not bloomer since but produces hearty foliage. Can you advise me on how to help my plants produce blooms again? Thank you. I live in Baltimore City.

Hi, We love the flavor of Maine wild blueberries but they don't seem practical for a home garden. Are there other blueberries that grow well in VT that would have closer to that flavor?

Hello, may I get your help identifying the following plants? The first one is a clipping from a honeysuckle vine, or so I thought . It’s about 3 years old but has never flowered. It’s in a place of full sun. The second photo is just for fun. I see these gorgeous flowering trees around Baltimore and don’t know their name. The final photo is a mystery bush / shrub that appeared in my garden. It sprouted maybe 3 weeks ago and is about 18” at the moment. Thank you!

Hello, I manage multiple vineyard sites and am having some issues with herbicide efficacy/ weed death not occuring like it does at other sites. Some of these sites of concern are near grass fields and/ or get seeded more frequently. I am looking to find a reputable company that will do herbicide resistant testing that I can connect with. Any information on this matter is greatly appreciated.

I read that Dahlias can be planted in late April as long as we don't get a hard freeze. The ground where they are going to go is no longer frozen and easy to work. Is it too early still? Should I wait until mid-May to plant them along with my annuals? Thanks for the help

Hi there! We have a beloved groundhog living under our shed. I need to replace the shed ramp. Do you know the best time of year to do this? I don't want to bother Fatty (that's her name) or her offspring. Thanks for any advice! Hope you're having a good week.

Hello, Do you still provide field trips for students. We are an elementary school with students that have never really been on a farm or had the opportunity to see animals. We would love to come to the Growing With Grains exhibit.
