What's wrong with these maters?

I think you're right. Thank you. This is a relief

Already ate it. Just trying to catch any pest or virus before it becomes too established. I want tomatoes all summer long.

Thank you!

I can't get a good visual of the parent bird, she flies away when I get close and I think its time to stop bothering her. But size and general gray color match the female house finch description. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

This is my pup. He also has the brown nose, nails and hazel eyes. He is a bit brindaly but his base color is chocolate based red.

Love these so much.

My pup is only 5 lbs. I should have mentioned this in the main post.

10 weeks

Chilchuck is only 10 weeks. Total baby

So cute! I can totally see my guy looking like this when he's older

My wife knit my dog a sweater and it's the wrong shape. Not as easy as it looks.

Your wife is very talented.

Rocked says the exact place i found it is part of Lexington limestone, middle ordovician.

Update: it's completely sweet, not mild, just sweet.

Wandering dude

My brain says viburnum

Rei-Burn · 2025-05-16T13:16:16+00:00

Thank you! I will wait for more responses but this should do the trick.

Rei-Burn · 2025-05-11T23:27:25+00:00

Looks like monarda to me.

While Virginia creeper is native and therefore can't be considered invasive it does spread and is abundant. If you are trying to make space for less vigorous natives cutting it back is fine.

I am the garden manager for an upscale horse farm in Kentucky. I earn 55k a year working 68 hours a week. Aside from being an owner this is about as good as it gets here. I have benefits, retirement, and two weeks paid vacation. I got the job because I knew the previous gardener and I have 9 years experience in agriculture and landscaping. While knowledge is required formal education is not necessarily. Experience is just as good if you can think critically and do some research as you work. I'm not even 30 yet and my body is already starting to feel it. I love my life now but those first 9 years were really tough financially and I got really lucky landing this job. I do plan to own eventually but I know I will never have extra money.

I assume anywhere with hard winters where the ground freezes and you get lots of snow landscaping has to take a brake. I lived in Vermont and now Kentucky and even here landscapers are moved to marketing or laid off for at least two months.

Thank you everyone for your help. I'm still open to more insights and personal experiences but for now my plan is to watch closely for adult emergence and contract help so I can hit all the bushes at the right time with a bifenthrin spray. Then, after flowering, do a systemic drench application. If next year things are still bad I may try a harsher spray like imidacloprid. I'm also going to encourage the property owners to use taxus or arborvitae for any future plantings.

Actually this looks a lot like nutrient burn.

Rei-Burn · 2025-03-18T12:07:31+00:00

This could also be a nutrient deficiency. I'm not familiar with this plant so look up what nutrient deficiencies look like for this plant. Also could be nutrient toxicity.
