sickly looking yellowwood tree-- dead wood #900445

Asked May 07, 2025, 12:15 PM EDT

I'm wondering if the profuse deadwood and clump-like growth on this perhaps 50yo yellowwood tree about 20"DBH is a sign that is near end of lifespan or is a easily recognised treatable problem ? No aware of any unsuaual stresses, insects, diseased foliage.

thanks for any ideas !

Goulash recipe safe #900443

Asked May 07, 2025, 12:10 PM EDT

Hello, there was a Ball canning recipe I saw labelled as American Goulash, and it was shared in a publication by someone last-named Andress, on the University of Missouri webpage and titled “Preserve it Fresh, Preserve it Safe” dated Jan/Feb 2020 (originally from the 2011 Ball publication “Let’s Get Canning). I’m wondering if it’s been removed from publication and why.

Identifying Purple Dead Nettle #900441

Asked May 07, 2025, 12:08 PM EDT

I would like a verification that this is purple dead Nettle. I would like to use it as an forage plant for salads and such so I want to be sure there is not a poisonous lookalike.

blue arrow juniper #900440

Asked May 07, 2025, 12:07 PM EDT

Hello, I'm wondering what the diseases are on our juniper and how to treat them? The shrub is a few years old and hasn't had any problems until now. There are about 5 areas with orange powder (4 of which are at branch unions), several areas with small brown spots on the needles (these have a section of the branch that is red instead of grey), and a few branch ends where needles have turned brown. Thanks.

Hi, what are examples of fertilizers that are Organic (certified or in practice) for specialty food crops - tomatoes, peppers (hot and bell), corn (grain and sweet) carrots, cucumbers, beans (not green), herbs, and daikon radish? Please use this as an excuse to share as much information as you’d like - I’ve never done fertilizing for my gardens and want to learn more! I am so appreciative!
