Salt tolerant grass seed
The grass on my boulevard burns and dies from the road salt that is applied during the winter months. Is there a salt tolerant seed or sod available and if so can you provide a list of who carries it? Or any ideas on what I can do to help protect the sod from burning from the salt?

using baking soda in marmalade recipes
Why do many, but not all, marmalade recipes include instructions to boil the peels in water with a tiny bit of baking soda (1/8 tsp for 2-4 pieces of fruit)? I am reading through several recipes from Better Homes & Gardens. The lemon, lime, grapefruit and blood orange recipes call for boiling the thinly cut peel in baking soda for 20 minutes as a first step. The recipe for tangerine marmalade does not include this step. All the recipes use liquid pectin. Thanks! Serena Jaspera

marion berry canes are dying
Help! I have a few marion berry plants. A friend also has a couple. Some of the new canes appear to be dying. They have not been tied up. Old canes have been removed. The leaves wilt and then the canes, escpecially the biggest, longest ones,then appear to be dying. The canes do have some dark brown splotches on them. There does not appear to be insect damage or disease on the leaves. They have been watered well and regularly, Have not seen voles, but there are rats in my community garden. Have not dug down to roots. There was an excellent crop this year, and I hate to see next year's crop going away. Thanks for your help. J Jim Gorter

gypsy moth tent on oak tree?
Very concerned to see what looks like may be a gypsy moth tent on the end of a branch on my northern oak tree at the curb. Just yesterday driving in the gorge I saw a HUGE infestation of the same thing on all the trees lining I-84. This tree is essential to our home. What can I do about the tent? Will it spread and destroy my tree? Please inform me ASAP what steps I should take, if any. Thanks.

Time to Cut Back Milkweed - Monarchs
When is a milkweed plant no longer useful to the Monarch. I let all the milkweed grow in my yard if they come up in one of my flower or vegetable beds (city will fine me otherwise). I have other items planted in these beds. When can I cut them back so that more sunlight will be available to the other plants in those beds and at the same time not affect the last Monarchs to use them? I have many at different stages. Are the monarchs done with them when they go to seed?

Spraying for Ponderosa Pine Beetles
My tree service company wants to spray my ponderosas for beetles. I live near the Arapahoe/Douglas/Elbert county lines. I have three big ponderosas, about 10-12 inches in diameter at the base. They are located about 20 feet from 5-6 pine trees (maybe spruce) that do not get sprayed. Our neighbors have a few dwarf pine trees in their landscaping.
They've never suggested spraying before, but perhaps this year is different due to the drought conditions and because our trees are so large now. Should I have my ponderosas sprayed?

Grass won't grow in certain spots
I have some spots in my front yard where I cannot get grass to grow. This is an established lawn, but a couple years ago the utility company dug up part of my yard-----and then re-seeded. The places where I cannot grow grass seems to be just on the perimeter of their work. Have had pretty good luck with seed in the past, and am puzzled as to why these problem areas would crop up, and then not support anything new. Am I making this too complicated?? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
