Convert a small lawn to meadow flower garden #864936

Asked April 17, 2024, 8:20 PM EDT

I have a small lawn which I am ready to get rid of and convert it to wildflowers. It is only about 65 " wide and and 205' long. I need to get someone to prepare the plot (if you are allowed, it you could recommend someone that would be great) and then sow the wildflower seeds. Could you recommend the type of flowers I could use. Perhaps some annuals and some perennials. All native of course. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated. Sue

rabbits #864931

Asked April 17, 2024, 7:02 PM EDT

A rabbit has been nestlling in a patch of silver thyme in my garden. Today, after i chased the rabbit away, I realized that it has made a hole in the center of the patch of thyme. I filled the hole with water. My question is---Is it safe to use the thyme after the rabbit has been sitting in it and nibbling it? I don't know if rabbits carry diseases, but with the problems with avian bird flu, I don't feel particularly safe using the silver thyme. How does one get rid of rabbits? How long do they live? Thank you for answering my question.

Pear and Peach Tree Diseases #864922

Asked April 17, 2024, 6:15 PM EDT

Hi there,

I live in Fort Collins, Colorado. I want to plant either pear or peach trees in my yard, but I'm worried about diseases and pests. Would you recommend peach or pear trees in my area, if I'm looking to avoid pests and disease? Many years ago I planted an apple tree, and it seemed to need regular spraying to avoid pests. Do pear and peach trees also need regular spraying, or is one of them better adapted to our area?

Thanks so much for your advice!

Should I reuse this potting soil? #864916

Asked April 17, 2024, 5:40 PM EDT

I planted some bulbs in potting soil this spring, just to see what would happen if I planted them in the spring vs fall. The bulbs have not developed and have mold in them. Can/should I reuse the potting soil that has had molded bulbs in it? Thanks!

Japanese Hollies Masacared #864908

Asked April 17, 2024, 4:48 PM EDT

A month ago, I hired a company to prune the top third of my Japanese Hollies. I came home to find that had cut two thirds from the top. They look horrible. The front facing branches were not cut. The bushes are healthy and there is new growth. My question is should the front facing limbs be cut back?
