Yellowing Maple tree. #275428

Asked September 04, 2015, 12:01 PM EDT

Hi, 1st time I have ever used this service.

We have a lovely great big Norway Red Maple.  Last year the leaves on half the tree started turning yellow and this year they have all turned yellow.  We have fed it lots of iron liquid in ground and spray.  Still yellow?  Have asked and received many answers.  So time to ask where I should have started.  How do I handle this?  Please advise me what to do.  Thank You,

While working at a cannery in the 1960's I came across the Chehalem BlackBerry which tasted like the ground trailing small wild blackberries found in the woods. I would like to find plants for this berry. I live in the Oregon City area.thanks for your help.

My name is Kathleen Dean,... #257139

Asked June 26, 2015, 2:18 PM EDT

My name is Kathleen Dean, my late husband Don Dean was from Ironton (grad '52). His mother lived on Porter Gap Road. Ma Dean had a vine growing on her side porch. For want of a better word, it was a "Potato Vine". At least, a tiny-like potato grew on the vine. I never tried to eat it. [smile] I have tried to find out what the name of this vine was though. No one in the area, in the 1960's knew what the name of the vine was. I just know that Ma Dean had the vine growing up a trellis that shaded the porch and gave her some privacy. I have been a Master Gardener Volunteer [MGV] since 2005 in Knox County Ohio plus as of 2013 I am also an Ohio Certified Volunteer Naturalist [OCVN]. I am always looking for interesting plants to grow. I am sorry I cannot tell you anymore about this "Potato Vine" accept the tiny potato was only about 1/2-inch long. It would be ice to visit your MG group sometime. Thanks for your help.

Quilt #256163

Asked June 22, 2015, 5:29 PM EDT

I have a hand made quilt that was made in the early 1960's. There is a bright blue backing on it. Fabrics of this period were not color safe and were subject to fading. The quilt needs cleaning, but I am afraid the back will fade and ruin the cover which was handmade by my grandmother. The quilt was quilted by my mother and her cronies. Hopefully you can suggest something or direct me to someplace that can help. I'm afraid to wash it.

Fast Growing Trees In Hill County TX #248402

Asked June 01, 2015, 8:03 PM EDT

I am considering putting an offer on 10 acres in Hillsboro, TX, but the property does not have any trees on it.  I would like to plant about 20 fast growing trees around the property and a few slower more hardy ones as well.  I have read that cottonwoods will grow very fast.  What would you suggest as the best trees to plant in this area and when is the best time to plant them?  Also, how old do they have to be before I would be able to let horses into the pasture where they are growing?

Asked June 02, 2015, 2:33 PM EDT

I recently moved into a home in Bloomington MN. The previous owner, I don't know how long ago, up to 40 years ago, put dirt and rocks around an oak tree to form a small hill (See attached picture). We'd like to remove this hill to make it ground level as it once was. Can we dig out the hill without killing the tree?

Any information or idea of the artist of this painting. #246443

Asked June 02, 2015, 11:37 AM EDT

I purchased this painting a while ago and I've always really liked it. It has no signature on the front. It only has 1960 and a "Fulton Canvas Boards" card tucked on the canvas itself, stating the canvas is 12x16 and "R609-2" and under that what appears to be a "G". The paper enclosing the canvas to the painting has has "D-19" and a ripped signature ending in what appears to be "D" on it. Any ideas about the painting or the artist?

I am replacing my Vintage 1960 Frigidaire Foldback electric coil units and I do a lot of canning and the coils elements have worked great. Can you suggest an electric coil cook top that is good for canning? I really don't care for the glass top cook tops.
