GET THE DIRT

By: Kathy Schwartz, Murray County Master Gardener Forked roots on carrots is usually due to rocky or heavy soil.

Yellow leaves on a tree usually mean something is wrong further down the tree. It could be a nutrient deficiency. That does not mean the leaves will turn brown or drop. It could be a drought. It could have been weed whipped or girdled. The cause could be turf fertilizer applied during hot, dry weather.

Order spring-flowering bulbs now for fall delivery. This will give you time to prepare to plan them.
