How do I revive this
So to start from the beginning I grew these sunflowers in pots and transferred them to the ground at my home, this sunflower was once big bold and beautiful.. it was actually.one of my first to bloom and I started having a problem with Japanese beetles... TONS of them so I put sevin dust powder all over my flowers to keep them off....all of my.other sunflowers are fine and growing and beautiful except this and 1 other....did the sevin dust hurt my plant or could it be something else, how do I save this flower and make it healthy and beautiful again? Plz help :)

What likes one spot in garden>
I have a large flower garden. One spot no matter what I plant something eats it right down to the ground. i dug a deep hole and replaced all the dirt but didn't help. I have Coneflowers beside the spot and Black Eyed Susan on the other, They grow fine and are not bothered. Its about a 3x3 square, Any help would be wonderful. Nothing can grow there without being eaten, not even greenery that spreads like crazy that I have to thin out all the time.

Dead crow
I am curious as to what kind of spider can catch and hold a crow with its single strand of web. This web extends more than 100 yards.
