Sick knockout roses
Hello again, Up until two years ago, these were really healthy (see photo). So last fall, I had soil testing done. The results were too acidic and low percentage of humic matter. So I replaced ALL of the soil in that bed with organic matter as Selina advised me to do and added lime. I feed them every six weeks during the growing season (12-4-8 recommended by Selina). I prune them correctly every winter. I had to cut back on watering because they were suffering from chlorosis, which fixed that. This spring, they were doing okay. Now they’re just alive. The knockout roses on the side of the house have always been healthy (knocking on wood). This is really frustrating. Thank you.

What do I cut out in old blueberry bushes
My BB bushes are 30 years old. I cut them all low about 8 years ago. They bear lots of small berries. I have about 20 different big branches out of ground which have about 4 or more bright green shoots on each one of the ones out of the ground ground. I am not sure how much to cut because they are so healthy looking with those big bright green shoots.

Spider Identification
I discovered this spider in my home. I have looked through hundreds of pictures online and I have been unable to come to a conclusive determination as to what kind of spider it is. Can you please let me know? thanks,

What kind of spider is this???
This first picture is of it sitting in the middle of its Web. The second is after I sprayed it so it was crawling up. I only ask because I have a 2year old and she plays outside and I'd hate for something to bite her. It's body was about an inch to an inch and a half with it crawling it was about half the size of my palm. It's legs had kind of a reddish/orange tint. If someone could help me that would be awesome. Thank you so much in advanced.

goose won't eat
My 1yr old goose looks like she may have a blockage at the base of her neck. This is day 2 she is alone in the pool not eating but drinking. Should I massage it up towards her beak or down or not at all? I gave her little olive oil with water and ACV yesterday 2x. Is there a vet in Harnett/Cumberland county that would see her? thank you
