I planted seeds for tomatoes on March 9th. I put some potting soil in fiber pots from Lowes and put a few seeds in each pot (12 pots total). I placed the pots near a window where there was afternoon sun. I gave each pot a small amount of water daily. The plants sprouted and seemed healthy for the first month, but now they seem weak and aren't growing. What should I do?

Good morning I am considering putting Ringer's lawn fertilizer and wondered if it was safe. All of the labels state it is organic and I want to make sure. Also, do you know of a way to remove moss from a roof without using chemicals? Thank you, Robin

"New" quickly spreading weed. #744412

Asked April 14, 2021, 11:32 PM EDT

In a front bed of sedums, ferns, ground cover - an unfamiliar weed has started taking over ground and all plants.....extremely invasive. Very difficult to pull as it is entangled in the other plants. Have used weed puller but this damages original plant. Spraying not an option as wanted plants will be destroyed. Afraid this weed will spread to other planted beds, too. Any idea what it is and what control may be short of sterilizing the whole area and starting over?

Is this plant a perennial? #744409

Asked April 14, 2021, 10:11 PM EDT

I planted 3 perennials last year, and unfortunately, I can't remember what they were. But these plants came up this spring, and they don't look familiar. Does this plant look familiar to you, and can you please tell me what you think it is? Thank you.

Dry twigs of a weeping willow #744406

Asked April 14, 2021, 8:50 PM EDT

I moved in a house with a mature beautiful flourished weeping willow. This spring I noticed that most of the bottom twigs are dry and other twigs are bare and sparse sprouting. The holes on the trunk is for the creeping plant grown up to the top of trunk that I had them removed. I have attached some pictures of it. I appreciate any suggestions that help to prevent any damage to spread to my tree. Thank you in advance.
