What is this horrid vine? #865803

Asked April 24, 2024, 7:13 PM EDT

I am constantly finding small and larger vines throughout my gardens and have been for years!! When pulled out, they have an orange root. Do you have any idea what they are? I keep coming up with the possibility if bittersweet. And is there anything I can do to get rid of them since the only way I've found is to dig them out? Thanks!

Lace bugs #865798

Asked April 24, 2024, 7:06 PM EDT

We seem to have a lace bugs problem on our chokecherry bushes. Last summer they were everywhere and skeletonized almost every leaf. I hoped the winter would take care of them but they're back and already numerous. Should I try to treat them? What is a family/pet/bee friendly option?

Pennington County South Dakota

What is this and what to plant in this area #865796

Asked April 24, 2024, 6:42 PM EDT

We moved to this home 3 years ago. There were 3 Pines ( not sure but some kind of white pine?) in this area, 2 turned brown and died the year we moved here. The previous owner said he had two others that died in same spot the year before and said he thought because it was too wet, but if it is why did one live? Do you recommend we replace with two of the same or something totally different. We would like whatever we plant here to be about 8 feet tall. We have not tested the soil. It is facing North.

When turning over the dirt in my grow box there seems to be a layer of white stuff about 12 inches below the surface. #865791

Asked April 24, 2024, 6:14 PM EDT

The white stuff looks like frozen dirt but of course it's not cold so it's not that. I'll attach a picture.

What is eating my plants? #865790

Asked April 24, 2024, 6:09 PM EDT

The past two winters something has been eating my huechera down to the ground. This year it also nibbled the ends of the bush honeysuckle and sweet spire bush. Do you have any idea what could be eating them and any suggesting how to prevent it?
