For several years I continually have had fungi (or spores?) the size of baseballs and softballs in my front yard. They initially are quite hard and later open up with a foul smell and dark puff. For the past few years I dig them up and throw them out. Any ideas on lawn treatment for eradication?

Help figuring out why these trees are dying. There is a group of four above a swale that are dying and a group of 3 below the swale are growing just fine. All planted at the same time. I'm hesitant to plant new trees until i know what has happened to these.

Are the oval brownish fruit-fly sized things on my bathroom wall from a fruit fly? Leavings or alive?

how do you dry walnuts in the shell?

I have might planted in a container. It is supposed to be hardy in Zone 5. But since I have it in a container instead of in the ground, do I need to protect it some how through the winter?

I recently pulled my Inox pressure cooker I bought in the 70s out of storage and don't remember how to use it. I realized I can't use it for canning; however, I used to cook in it but can't find any recipes or instructions for this particular style because it doesn't have an overpressure plug. I cooked rice last night and it turned out perfect but I'd like to cook other foods. Do you have any resources? I'm not finding anything online for this particular style of pressure cooker.

Hi, Please advise the best time to trim back my hydrangea bush/tree (now or early spring? And how far to go? I would like to get it back to a manageable height in front of my dining room window.

I’m trying to find out the specific name/type of clematis this is. I planted it over 10 years ago. I’d like to know the class of clematis that it belongs in. Group one? group 2 ?or group 3 ?I hope can identify the name of this clematis by the pictures included in this email. I’d like to know what group it belongs to.

I‘m not sure, but in reviewing the recipe to send to a friend, I think I may have forgotten to add the lime juice. Can I re-cook and then reprocess? Or do I have to throw it all out?

Hello, My wife and I recently bought a 10 foot potted burr oak. When we took it out of the pot/container it had a large amount of wrapping roots. We tried to loosen the roots as much as possible but still the roots as a whole were going in circles since some were difficult to move. We planted the tree this week. I reading more now about root girdling (should have read before buying). What is your thoughts on root girdling and potted trees? Should we keep the tree and monitor its health? Dig it up and plant a much younger tree less likely to have root girdling? If there is root girdling, do these trees tend to die early or make it a few years then die? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
