Hi, I live in Cary (Wake county) and I saw the weed in the attached picture in my Bermuda grass lawn that started sprouting around October ad now its spreading really fast. I used a pre-emergent in September (Andersons per-emergent: https://www.amazon.com/Andersons-Barricade-Professional-Grade-Granular-Pre-Emergent/dp/B08ZZ16HD1/). But this weed is still growing and spreading right now. I tried to match it to the weed identification pictures online but I have not been able to find a definitive match. Can you please help me with identifying the weed and any sprays I can use to get rid of it? Thanks

The title pretty much covers it. Does this look like shiny geranium or another related geranium like herb Robert? It's growing in my side yard and some local native plant volunteers pointed it out as shiny geranium. If so I imagine I need to try to get rid of it before it seeds in spring. I if that's what it is, how would you suggest I get rid of it? Thanks!

We have had squirrels chew through metal mesh covers around our solar panels, make a nest under them and destroy the wiring. We have removed the nesting material and the solar company will replace the wiring tomorrow. How can we avoid this in the future? They are still going on the roof of our house and our neighbors houses.

Have 100 acre farm in Weld County.  50/50 corn and alfalfa.  Trying to determine whether a cash rent or crop share is best option.  If crop share - what is typical share?  50/50?  Lessor will be maintaining the farm - mowing, ditch burning, etc.  Lessor will also be assisting with irrigation.  60/40 if lessor does the aforementioned?

Also, need rates for renting grain bins.  

Finally, can extension office assist with calculating which is best option?  

I a, thinking of planting a grove of serviceberry trees but find only a description of “serviceberry bushes” on this site. Could I get information on the tree form as well as a comparison tree vs. shrub? And perhaps more information, for example: water use, best placement, etc.

I have recently, officially, been influenced to begin my sourdough journey! I am so excited! Rather than getting a starter from a friend or relative (in fear that I would kill it), I decided to make my own starter (proudly named “Taylor Sift!”). I started 6 days ago with 50 grams of unbleached King Arthur bread flour and 50 grams of spring water (bought from Meijer in a gallon). After 3 days of doing this process every 24 hours, there were bubbles forming, but no growth (I know I’m not supposed to expect growth after 3 days), but on day 5, I began discarding half and adding back in the 50g/50g mixture and repeating that since. Since then, no bubbles have been forming and when I take the cover off, there is a thick skin formed on the top of my starter, and while mixing, it just forms thick globs that are difficult to incorporate. 1) Have I done something wrong since the get-go? 2) Should I have expected bubbles so soon or after discarding? 3) Is the skin normal or alarming? 4) Should I just start over? Thank you for your help!

This summer it wad so radiant, as of lately look terrible--not sure if I was supposed to do some sort of winter care? Not sure if disease, pest, or? Please help--thank you and Happy Holidays!

I live in town but lots of deer come thru and gift me with manure. I would like to use it on my non-edible landscaping. What is the simplest way to do this? Does it need to age? Do the pellets need to be broken down? Can I just dig it in at the base of plants?
