So… how are your vegetables growing? With the cool April and May they probably got off to a slow start. But recent rains and warmer temperatures have kicked their growth into high gear

Transplanting hydrangeas now

May 20, 7:44 AM

I am wanting to transplant some hydrangeas today, would you recommend it? - Andy -

Safe lawn control for pets?

Like many in our community we have weeds in our lawn that need to be controlled. I have yet to put down a granular weed and feed due to the weather, however, we have dogs that enjoy being outdoors in our backyard on a nice days (who wouldn't be!)

Old pasture = New yard?

We have 5 acres of spent farmland/pasture as our "yard". We live in a subdivision where the HOA expects acres of dandelion free/weed free bluegrass, as if we live in Kentucky


More Dirt

Box elder bugs and silver maple

I have a silver maple tree on the east side of my home and haven't had any issues for the 3 years I've lived here (other than the constant litter from it) until now. In the past week it appears I've gotten an infestation of box elder bugs, they often are congregating on the siding/windows/front door of the house and are quite the nuisance

Where to find Prairie Dropseed?

I want to get more native plants, but am having a hard time finding where to buy them. Do you know of any nurseries in the Kansas City area that sell Prairie Dropseed plants? I don't want the seeds because they take so long to mature

Heritage River Birch question

Maybe you can give some advice, I have 2 Heritage River Birch trees that I planted 12 years ago, they are around 45 feet tall. The trees were doing great, with no signs of any problems
