Better/alternate answer to previous question re. neighbors and pollinator garden
Preparing for a pollinator yard
You suggested leaving a border of grass between the pollinator garden and the neighbors' property line. I agree with talking to the neighbor first. But there's a better solution than leaving a border of grass that needs to be mowed. I would say, plant a border of Penn Sedge, thick enough that your wildflower roots won't spread to the neighbor's yard. That way you don't have to mow, and it will look neat and tidy.Hennepin County Minnesota 3 days ago

Lawn - Thinning grass, uneven ground and moss growing
Hi - Over the past few years our lawn has deteriorated. The grass keeps thinning and moss is growing in between the grass patches. This spring there is a large area where no grass is growing at all. Any advice on how to reverse this and bring the lawn back to a healthy point would be greatly appreciated.

Peach contender cankers?
My peach contender appears to have cankers on several branches. The tree was planted only one year ago. They do not appear to be oozing. I Have not applied anything to them as of yet. I was wondering if I need to apply a fungicide, hopefully organic. I was planning on planting rudbeckia, yarrow, and chives around the tree and was wondering if there’s anything else I could plant around it that would prevent future disease.

golen ribbon vs sunkist arborvitae
Hi, I was wondering which one of the arborvitae would be better to have in my back yard. I read that the golden ribbon is harder to care for? However, the sunkist are not as easily found for sale. I like the yellow color and the size is fine for both. However, I want to buy the one that would do best here in Minnesota. Please let me know your expert opinion. Thank you, Dawn
