My silkweed plant is covered in these little orange spots. Please help.

What requirements do I have to meet if I want to sell a house to someone that is trying to get an FHA mortgage? Where can I get a list of the repairs that I need to complete? Specifically, someone said that FHA will not approve a load for a house that has a built in kitchen oven. Is that true?

Have a huge hornet with coloration like description/photos of killer hornets caught in Summit County. Understand they are to be reported but don't know where or who. Rigor mortis set in before totally accurate measurements could be taken. Is this the correct place to report this insect?

I'm a first time jelly maker. I am trying to make currant jelly into pint jars. I processed the first batch, using a low sugar pectin according to the directions and after a hot water bath, all the jars sealed but the contents were a syrup consistency. I unsealed the jars, followed the directions and added additional pectin and reprocessed the jars. The jars sealed, but the consistency is now a thicker syrup, but not jelly. My questions are: 1. Can I try processing a 3rd time? 2. If yes, can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Do I need to boil the fruit until it is much thicker before putting it into jars for the hot water bath? Add more pectin? more sugar? I did contact the pectin maker and got a very vague, unhelpful answer to my very specific questions. They basically told me to enjoy the syrup... If you are not able to answer, can you recommend someone who might be able to help?

We have a really big crepe myrtle that hasn't produced many flowers the last 2 years and has stained our new porch roof. We noticed sticky stuff on everything below it and it has attracted lots of bees and European hornets this summer. We just noticed this weekend that there are white things all over it and the leaves are starting to turn black. Not sure how long this has been going on, and hadn't specifically looked at the leaves, etc for any signs. Googling the symptoms I expect it's bark scale, but wanted to confirm and figure out how to handle it. I read suggestions about pressure washing the tree, but as you can see it's not really feasible on this big of a tree. Can someone help identify the problem and suggest correct actions, please? Thanks in advance, Ron

Today is 9-16-24. I have yet to apply weed killer, or put down grass seeds for the Fall. Is it to late to do both. How late can I plant seeds this Fall?

If I have to choose one, should I kill the weeds, or plant new grass?

Thank you,

Andre Williams

I am curious what it would take to have. A couple apple varieties identified.

I am having a large yew tree cut down and ground up. I have blueberry plants. Can you I use the mulch on them? Also Azaleas and lilacs. Can you use the mulch on them?

I have attached three photos of a creeping grass that has taken over my lawn. Would you be able to identify it and offer any ways to get rid of it? Thank you for your time.

We are wondering if a Nelly Moser Clematis is a good choice to plant to grow under a locust tree in the southwest part of our backyard? We would like to plant one on each side of the tree, hoping for a more private backyard. We are new to Northern Colorado but have had great luck growing regular clematis's in Denver. We appreicate this wonderful service that CSU provides.
