Hi, my mature oak has a sparse array of leaves, typically close to the trunk on major limbs. Nothing is growing on smaller branches and twigs. Do you think it was damaged in the ice? What should I do to coax it along?

Hi there. In the fall I planted daffodils and tulips in a garden bed for the first time. Couple questions- first, do I trim them just above the soil once they’re done blooming? Second, would it work/be a good idea to plant melon seeds in between them for the summer? It’s a nice full-sun spot where I think they’d grow well. I just don’t know how big melon root systems would be and if that would disturb the bulb roots (these are perennial flowers, right? Or do I have to re-plant bulbs each year?) Thank you! Alicia

I received three plants from the grocery store florist. The pot of tulips dropped all its petals. The Calandiva and Hyacinth still look nice. Can I plant these bulbs outside to enjoy next spring?What month would I plant them and how deep? I am not sure if all of them come from bulbs. Thanks. Sally

HI! I would like to apply for the smartscapes program, but I wasn't sure where to sent it. It is attached. Could you please pass it along for me? Thanks!

Last fall, we spilled some wild bird seed in the lawn.  Now we have a taller, bright green wide blade grass taking over.  How can we kill this without destroying the bluegrass lawn?

I recently transplanted the tomatoes that I started from seed. By the next morning half of them had collapsed. is there any thing I can do to perk them back up? They are inside in a sunny window.

Can you please identify?

Hi Would you please identify the infestation inside our house since a few days? Also, please suggest some treatments, both natural and chemical. Lastly, we have cats in our house. We would need a solution that doesn’t harm the cats. Thx.

Hi I read Joel's research in Loveland it mentioned planting the blue berry plants in a bale of sphagnum moss --- my question is the only bales I see for sale are ones of dried sphagnum moss are those the ones to use?thx andy

Hello, I can no longer do our gardening work due to back problems, and I was wondering how I could find a knowledgeable individual who could take over. I don't want to hire a company with a crew come, because the crew in my experience isn't knowledgeable about what needs to be done when and doesn't take a custom approach. I'm looking for an individual who knows what to do and could keep up a more natural look rather than sheering shrubs into meatballs. Do you think there is a master gardener who would be interested? Or do you have any thoughts about how to find someone? Thank you!
