Insects on the wall of the plant covered with soil. |
|

|
Description of plant: I don't know the name but this plant is used for material purpose and for house construction. It will be usually as taller as a three floor building, straight wth round circular wood in India. Only after 3-5 years the wood will be good to use. Problem: After one year of planting it, we noticed that some insects are covering the wall of all the plants. The insects will be on the wall but there will be a layer of soil covering them from outside. Please help me identifying this plant disease and how to get ride of this problem? |

Ficus Dropping Leaves |
|
10 |
|
Hello:
I have an indoor ficus tree that is dropping leaves at an alarming rate. The leaves are turning yellow and dropping. There is no pattern. It seems to be very random. I have had this indoor tree for over 20 years and I would like to help it. I noticed that there is a small white spot on the back of some of the leaves (both yellow and green). The spot resembles dandruff. It is a dry spot that is easily removed. I suspect that is the problem. Do you have any idea what it is and how I can get rid of it? Thank you in advance, Fran |

The center becomes a globe with green spikes ending in orange. Can I send a jpg of it? I am very ignorant regarding plants and although I bought American Horticultural Society Encyclopedia of plants and flowers I find I have to page through it to find my flowers, is there a better cultivated flower book? |

I started to communicate to you on 11/9/09 about an unknown weed tat has taken over my garden. You answered on 11/10/09 repeating my concern and again on 11/12/09. I did register and tried to send you two pictures of the plant, I don't think you got the pictures, because I think I did it all wrong. The plant that is pictured on my page is not anywhere near what I sent, so I guess it merely some representation of a typical weed. I am new to all this and not at all familiar with how to do anything on your website. Is there someplace on your website that is a tutorial? I would certainly like to take advantage of what you have to offer in the way of help. I am not a gardener, just an amature at the mercy of my garden, but not too old to learn. Thank you, Siegfried. |

Unknown weed |
|
16 |
|
|
I have a weed that has taken over my flower garden. It stands about 2ft tall, has woody stems about 1/2 inch thick, and looks like a bush. It send out long shoots out of which new plants grow. It has leaves that look like ferns, in that there is a long leaf with 10 serrated leaves, except the serrations are much wider and not spaced as far apart as a fern's hairlike leaves. There are 7 of these leaves uniformly spaced along the length of each branch. They are about 1/4 inch wide and 2 inches long. The plant grows very quickly from a sprout to a 2ft x 3 foot bush and is almost indestructible. It does not have a bloom, other than a thistle-like green blossom in the cente of some of the branches. I can send a photo, if you want. |

Golden Mushroom. Help Identify! |
|
26 |
|
I need help identifying a mushroom. I have pictures. The mushroom has a large cap, 3" to 9" across, is golden colored, has forked golden gills decurrent down the stem, and exudes orange "milk". It grows in a clump on wood, I think. It is hard to tell, because it is in a muclched bed full of wood chips. It has a wavy edged cap, which has some brown spots and almost lines around. Cap, flesh and gills are all gold. Flesh a little lighter. It has no knobs or conical shape like the Jack-O-Lantern, but it it luminescent, when viewed in the dark. It is subtle, but it glows sort of beige or pinkish, like it is gently lit from within. I'll send pictures, if you need them. I was fascinated by this mushroom and would like to identify it. I thought it might be a Honey Mushroom or Lactarius Deliciosus, but I was stumped by the luminescence, but it doesn't glow blue/green like the Jack-O-Lantern. Please help me identify. thanks, Faye |

Re-plant Garlic |

I planted last fall garlic and I harvested this last spring but it looks like I did not harvested all of it, because now there is garlic coming up. There are some that are already about 2 feet tall and there are others that have come up very close together in groups that are about 10 inches tall. My question is if I should separate those that are coming up in groups and re-plant them separately or just let it be ? Thank you for your earliest attention to this matter. |

I need to identify a tree with green leaves growin in Maryland, and right now bearing a ripe round fruit about the size of strawberies with a more spikey surface, which obviously fall to the ground when they are red and ripe. They are soft and slightly sweet in taste..I picked them off the ground and also from the tree but I don't know how to use them for eating. Can you suggest what the tree might be and what to do with the fruit? |

LEAVES FUNNY LOOKING I AM DESPERATE!!!!! |
|
56 |
|
Narcissus |
|
|
I am burnt out trying to figure out what is going on with my Wax Myrtle Shrubs that I planted 12 weeks ago. They were FINE, then all of a sudden I notice spots on the leaves. Not rust or black spot but brown all the way through the other side. Not "holey" just DARK brown spots and some of the leaves look like the middle vein has a row of brown spots going right down the middle as if to form a line. PLEASE HELP ME. I am trying my best to be as descriptive as possible. Now I am noticing that some, not ALL of, the new shoots coming in are deformed leaves!!!! They look arthritic and curve to the sides at 90 degree angles. Some are just coming in slightly bumpy and wrinkled. Some of the new leaves are half green and half brown!! I also have just today noticed some of the leaves with pale slightly yellow spots. Not all the leaves, just some. My main problem is crooked leaves and brown spots, but they are not raised or look powdery. The slightly yellowing just noticed today. It doesn't look like black spot. They are brown as if someone is burning them but they are not burnt in a hole. No holes. I only saw ONE leaf which looked like a screen. Like something chewed all the green and left the skeleton. I have FOUR shrubs and they are about 2 feet tall, they are spaced 4.5 feet apart. I have sandy soil which they like. I water them every 2-3 days since they prefer wet soil and they are not established yet. I have mulch down but not all the way to the base, about 8 inches from the base of plant. When I removed them from the pot I kept the same soil level as was in the pot. I loosed up the roots, I dug a hole twice as wide when I planted them. The man at the nursery told me it sounds like my plant is stressed. I even brought him leaf samples and he asked me how often I was watering and at the time it was like every 3-4 days and he told me to water them every 2-3 days until Spring, then maybe give them some fertilizer IN THE SPRING. These are supposed to be hardy native plants and I just don't get it!! Why all of a sudden are some of the leaves getting pale yellow spots? The soil is slightly acidic and that's what they like. I was told not to add fertilizer until spring and they don't really need it because they are native plants!! Wax Myrtles also fix nitrogen in the soil so a fertilizer with nitrogen won't help. I am so frustrated I could cry! IS it a fungus, is it a bug? WHAT? Now my NEIGHBOR next door about 15 feet away had some corn and string beans planted in April and yellow summer squash. They looked great in the beginning but just last month everything is turning yellow on them and looks dreadful. Is my Wax Myrtle picking up something from his plants? Could it be something in the soil? I have chewed me nails to the bone and checked out every library book and I cannot find out what the problem is. PLEASE HELP! The guy at the nursery claims that they were STRESSED because I wasn't watering enough and just leave them alone and don't spray them or nothing! HELP! Thanks, Nancy I live in Zone 8B Tallahassee Florida Panhandle near the southern Georgia border. It's hot here! |

best leaf compost |
|

What kind of tree leaves are best for composting directly into the garden soil? Are there any tree leaves that I shouldn't compost? My garden is probably nitrogen rich. One clue is tomato skins splitting from where the tomato is attached to the vine. Also, I bury all kinds of vegetable/ fruit pieces, egg shells, coffee/ tea grounds in the garden. Is it ok to compost tomatoes that are rotting on the vine?
Thank you,

have a hanging tomato plant. The green fruit is now getting black spots. Someone told me to quit watering - let plant wilt badly before watering again. Think I am killing the plant. How much should I be watering. Weather has been pretty cool here. Live in San Jose, Ca |

Herbs |
|

|
|
Herbs. seem to be cutting my herbs wrong so much so they die. I was trying to cut of the flowers forming on the basil and the cilantro but may have killed the herbs by cutting to much of the stems. When i want to use cilantro and basil - do i cut the stems or just pull the leaves off. I don't want to kill the mint. I pick off the leaves now. What is the best way to cut herbs for use? and cut flowers off so as to stop the herbs spoiling? |

black spots on mint |

I have a lot of wild mint in my yard, which I love. For the past three seasons, it has been getting black spots on the leaves and then the plant seems to wilt. They always come back the next year, but I don't like to use the mint with these spots. What are the spots? Does it make the mint unusable and how can I get rid of it? The spots have spread to the oregano that is next to it. |

My broccoli,cabbage, and brussel sprouts all have gnarled and lumpy stems. It resembles club root but I didn't know if that would affect stems. I've been gardening 30 years and have never seen this. We have had alot of rain. Should I destroy them? |

Our very mature cherry tree is now covered with elongated black and orange bugs. The entire tree has leaves that are turning black and "scrunched". There is a "sap" of some sort dripping from the tree. Please help. I don't know the variety of cherry but they are not bright red, more yellow /red combination. I live in Central NY. Thank you.... |

All the vegetables in my garden look yellowish instead of a good green, and they are growing very slowly or not at all. This includes tomatoes, squash, peppers, peas, lettuce, and spinach. I have been using Miracle Grow fertilizer that is a couple of years old and giving them plenty of water. |

I live in the Tidewater area of Virginia. Recently a new (fungus) of some sort has appeared (sort of "overnight") It is creepy looking. It is long and straight sticking up from the ground like a weird snake. The shaft is a bright orange and the tip brown, but not large like a mushroom cap. Please pardon the comparison, but it sort of looks like a penis. They appeared overnight and are ALL over the place, and it's really creepy. What is this and how do I get rid of it. Thank you, Sallie Harper Williamsburg, VA |

Seed indentifier |

I have a few annual seeds that a friend gave me but can't recall what plant it is, but knows it is a vine. The seed is all black and slightly flattened, size like a pinto bean. The side has a white raised ridge that is 1/3 of the side of the seed. Almost looks like a white mohawk on a black seed. Any idea what it might be. Thanks, Amy |
