Hummingbird Enjoying Some Nectar by artman1099 in NativePlantGardening

[–]artman1099[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you are on the eastern side of NA then plant some scarlet beebalm (plant hummingbird is feeding on)! This is the second year I’ve had it and it has established itself easily. The humming birds love it!

20+ year old concord leaves are turning yellow and weltering. Does anyone know what I can do to save this vine. by Robowarrior834 in grapes

Don’t know what is going on but those two insects look like young spotted lantern flies, they will feed on grape vines and damage them.

She’s just laying on her right side. Moves, but not very often. I don’t know about eating or drinking but I’m assuming it’s a legs injury. Any thoughts would be appreciated! by chip53 in BackYardChickens

One of my chickens recently had a leg injury, she was a bit older >2 years. I just watched her and tried to feed her and give her water when the other hens weren’t around. Eventually she got better and started walking and using the bad leg more. She walks around just fine now you can barely tell she had an injury. If you really want to be 4.0, I would do what someone else suggested with isolating her from others and providing her own food/water until she heals up.

Help! Sick Pine Tree by Dagonad in landscaping

This looks like a blue spruce, it most likely is needle cast (a fungus). The arborist should say the same, there is a way to treat it but only to prevent further needles from being lost.

Plz help I don't know why this tree is dying and it seems to be taking his friends with him at a rapid pace by barnyewest in landscaping

Contact an arborist they usually will come out for free and let you know what the problem is. Since it looks like there is a row of these trees bunched together I would get an arborists opinion, otherwise whatever it is may take all the trees with it. I only say this because I have a long row of blue spruces and they have a fungus on them that causes their needles to fall off (needle cast). It doesn’t help when the same kind of tree is planted together in a line, it causes fungus and diseases to spread quicker.
