Recently popular question and answer from our Q&A Archive: Italian Cypress Dying
"Two of my nine Italian Cypress trees---all mature and in a row spaced about 2 feet from each other---have died about 9 months apart, and others also show signs of it. These trees have been at full height for at least 10 years, and we have made no changes in watering in that time. The branches all seem to begin turning brown and drying up at the same time all along the tree, starting with the outside tips, and the process is relatively fast, over about 4 to 6 months. There are a few lesions in the bark of the lower trunk, and some sap oozing, but this does not seem to be the cause. No insects (e.g., borer beetles) can be seen. Could be a fungus, but which? Please let me know the various possible causes (either insect or disease), and how to treat each one." - Click to read the answer

Grow Native"If the natural-looking sweep of prairie grass is something you'd like to incorporate into your landscape, consider planting a section to native meadow grasses and flowers. More like gardens than lawns, these meadows or mini-prairies are usually restorations of the grasses and flowers that grow naturally in the area (or close approximations of that ideal), made for viewing, walking through and enjoying."
How to Control Annual Weeds"To control perennial weeds you need to dig them out — root and all. I won't be tackling that issue here. Annual weeds can be easier to control if you stay on top of the situation. Here are my 10 steps for controlling annual weeds in your vegetable garden."
Winter Squash"No vegetable is more linked to the fall, winter and holidays than winter squash. "Squash" is actually taken from a Massachusetts Indian word, askutasquash, meaning "eaten raw". Although native Americas may have eaten some winter squashes raw, we enjoy cooking them in pies, cakes, curries, casseroles, cookies and soups. The variety of winter squashes available to cook with can be staggering. From huge pumpkins (technically a winter squash) to diminutive delicata squashes, there's a shape, size, color, flavor, and texture of winter squash for just about every dish."
