My mowing schedule got messed up and i didn’t get the last mow in before the first frost. Can i still mow this fall? I don’t know if it’s worse to mow now or leave my grass too long over the winter. Any guidance you can provide is appreciated. Thank you!

why are my potatoes wrinkled and soft? #889250

Asked November 02, 2024, 8:41 PM EDT

I grew potatoes from seed for the first time this year. Harvested last week before any big frosts, I was surprised that most of them are soft and wrinkled. I soaked them overnight in a bucket of water, thinking they might be de-hydrated, but there was no improvement. What did I do wrong? Are they edible?

Tree Roots at Surface #889243

Asked November 02, 2024, 5:58 PM EDT

We had this Serviceberry tree planted last fall and there was a watering bag around the tree. When I removed the bag for winter, I noticed these roots. I assume the roots grew up towards the water (the tree probably needed deeper watering). Should I cover these roots with dirt or mulch before the winter? Anything else I should do?
