534 7/20/2010 Is it safe to use Ferriplus on our evergreen trees? They are located in the same area as a maple which had iron chlorosis and it benefitted greatly by the application of the Ferriplus. (Answer: 33 words)

532 6/21/2010 I LOVE your greenhouse and I shop there exclusively!
I planted my herbs in pots this year and they are doing great. However after this wet and cold spell I found mushrooms growing in my pot right in the middle of my Oregano. I am starting to find other kinds of mushrooms popping up through out my garden as well. My first question is is my Oregano still safe to eat? Next is it harmful to my other herbs and veggies to have mushrooms growing near them and if so what do I do to treat and prevent them from comming back? Thank you for all your help, Aubree Patterson

530 6/21/2010 I bought a Autumn Blaze Maple from Cook's last week and planted it. It had a wood stake in the container about 4 feet up the trunk with it so when I planted it I just left the tree attached to it. Do I need to remove it or should I leave it tied to the tree and if so how long should I leave it attached? If I am suppose to remove it would you suggest staking the tree to help support it? I've noticed that the stake prohibits growth of any new limbs where the tree makes contact with it.
Also how often and how much should I water the tree? I am watering it now twice a week (about every 3 to 4 days) for about 1/2 hour with a slow flow of water. Any advice with these concerns would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

525 5/28/2010 First of all, thank you for all the help I receive every time I visit. Your staff is the reason I keep coming back. I planted 2 Poppy perennials this spring and there is plenty of foliage already present but no blooms. I read these should bloom in May. Is there something I can do to encourage blooms or does the rainy/cold month of May push back the bloom date on those? Thank you for your help! (Answer: 36 words)

524 5/28/2010 I bought a Tinkerbell Lilac tree from you about 3 years ago. They are beautiful and have done well, until this year. One is georgous and then one looks really bad. There are few leaves on it and even fewer blossoms. There are a lot of bare stems which makes it look like it is dieing. Please help me. They are planted on either side of my front porch that faces West. (Answer: 76 words)
