Am I to late to plant onion sets? Purchased at Walmart in spring. Yellow, white , and red multi pack. Don't have any idea if short, med, or long season. They grew very little this season so I pulled them all and am considering replanting now if not to late. Zone 7a-7b Ballenger Creek

My horses are suffering from slobbers. I only know this is most common from clover during damp months. But it’s been really dry and they’re still drooling from slaframine or black patch. I understand I can request an ag agent to come to my pasture to help me come up with a plan.

Mushroom Risk to Dogs #889568

Asked November 08, 2024, 8:23 PM EST

Good evening,

There's a cluster of mushrooms growing out of a tree stump in my recently finished dog run. The tree was felled about 3 years ago, and in that time nothing grow out of or near the stump except a tree of heaven, blackberry vines, and numerous poke bushes.

This summer, I cleared the space, put down landscape fabric, dumped about 4 yards of cedar chips, and turned it into a dog run.

Now those things are growing up out of the stump.

Long story short: Are they poisonous or toxic to dogs? I tried searching online, and while the results looked similar, every result came back with a different name.

Thank you for your time and help!

Hello Hi, accidentally put the wrong type of wood chips on my garden. I put the ones with all the toxic chemicals that they grind up from old plywood. Not realizing I was doing that until quite a bit of time afterwards. This has Been two Summers ago. Next summer would be the third. Is there something I can put on the garden to mitigate the toxic mess of this situation?

Rabbit damage tree bark #889559

Asked November 08, 2024, 3:46 PM EST

The rabbits already started chewing on my newly planted crabapple. Besides putting the plastic tube around it, is there a spray or mineral dust/powder that will help heal it faster, or I can coat on the damage the rabbits have already done? Also, do you think it will be alive by spring? I'm worried it already killed it. Thank you.
