What to do about lesser celandine?
For the last 2-3 years we have had lesser celandine in the grass and now in a bed of pachysandra. I do not want to use herbicides. I have dug up a lot of them in the past, taking out what I thought were all the bulbs, but they were even more abundant this year than last year. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

Yuki cherry blossom shrub died all of sudden
I planted 5 yuki cherry blossom one months ago and they were growing healthy and producing more green leaves. But two days ago, I found out one of them were dried out and the other two started to show some of dry leaves. I don’t know what is going on. I am worried about all other plants in my front garden now. Is there some disease or is there any way I can save my cherry blossom?

Is Poa annua edible?
Is Poa annua (annual blue grass) safe for humans to consume? In an extensive Google search, edibility is either not listed, or listed as "edibility unknown". The only source that lists Poa annua as edible is "The Wild Wisdom Of Weeds: 13 Essential Plants", a book by Katrina Blair, under her writings for grasses.

Found this thing in my yard, what is it?
I found this in my backyard in Acme, PA. Any idea what it is? It has a bit of a blueish sheen to it. No legs or anything just a round thing, little things like a mouth on the end of it. Probably about an inch long.
