This will be my 3rd year growing sunflowers. The first year was great. Last year the weeds took over. We had a very wet spring and then not much rain for about a month. I planted around an acre of sunflowers of a variety of single stem and branching. What would you recommend as a granule to put down and when?

Watermelon plant time/ soil recommendations #866622

Asked May 01, 2024, 1:35 PM EDT

Hello, I was wondering when the ideal time to plant watermelons in my garden bed would be. Is it okay to do them earlier like at this time of year, or should I wait a few more weeks. I also was curious if there was a soil/mix brand that you would recommend for a more successful harvest.

I purchased this witchata blue juniper in 2022. Either deer or rodents chewed the trunk bark in the mid section over the winter. Would you recommend I cut the trunk at the start of the damage? Other ideas? Thanks much…..

Slime flux mitigation #866599

Asked May 01, 2024, 11:45 AM EDT

We have a mature Red Maple (A. rubrum) that I think has a bacterial wetwood infection. I understand that there's no cure/treatment but is there anything that can be done about the smell? When the sap is bleeding the area smells pretty bad (like a dive bar after Mardi Gras). Can I clean the area in some way? Chris
