Canned tomato sauce #885541

Asked September 17, 2024, 10:49 AM EDT

Good morning I canned tomato sauce yesterday and forgot to add the lemon juice before water bath thing. Can I still save it by re-boiling and adding the lemon juice to the jars or can I freeze it? It’s been less than 24 hours since I processed them. Please let me know.

Asked September 17, 2024, 10:19 AM EDT

Hi, I was told by a friend that a red cedar tree we have in our yard maybe very old. I measured the circumference at shoulder height and it measured approximately 72". He recommended that I contact your organization to see if I should report it to anyone at the state level.

What's wrong with my goldenrod? #885536

Asked September 17, 2024, 9:50 AM EDT

Hello! I have a zigzag goldenrod in my garden that I planted about 2 years ago. This year it just hasn't been doing well - the stems and leaves are turning brown and dying off. The other plants surrounding it seemed to be doing ok this summer despite the drought, which is why I'm curious if it's a pest or disease. Thank you for the help!

End-of-season yellow squash plant #885532

Asked September 17, 2024, 8:57 AM EDT

Hello - Based on the attached photo, would you say that this plant was diseased, and should not be placed in municipal hot compost? It had a quite productive life. I dug it up a couple of days ago when it stopped producing and I note that it had some greenery, but that there was also a considerable amount of grey and dusty leaves, as well as a stem and some branches that were hollow and very gray. (I also have a tomato plant that has mostly gray foliage but a few spotted leaves.) Thanks as always. You do a terrific job and a tremendous service.
