By Kathy Schwartz, Murray County Master Gardener Potential tree problems can include: dead and fallen branches more than 2 inches in diameter, also sawdust on the trunk from wood-boring insects; a trunk that noticeably leans in one direction, and a branch canopy that is not roughly balanced.
Now is the time to plant bulbs. Fall sales will be in progress. You can establish a nice pattern. Stir a little bone meal in the bottom of the trench.
If you have a mixed bouquet of flowers, change the water every couple of days. Some of the flowers may give off sap toxic to other varieties in the vase.
