I would like to know which flowering spring bulbs bloom for the longest period? Any information you can provide on the spring blooming periods for bulbs would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

When making a pot of jam?How much lemon juice should I add for asian pears

Hello! I've been checking in on the Home Food Safety and Preservation Program website for close to a year now and noticed that the course didn't seem to be offered in 2024. Will OSU be holding the training program again soon or in 2025? I would love to take part but am worried I've missed an announcement somewhere. Cheers, Katie

Found these under an old wood chip pile. Are these truffles? If not are they edible?

Is it safe to transplant evergreen/semi-evergreen shrubs and trees in October,? I have read conflicting information about what time of year to do this. The plants in question are Prague Viburnum and young (4 -5 feet) Sweetbay Magnolia.

where would i get soil test for my yard

There are two large silver poplar trees in my neighbor's yard close to our property boundary. A privacy fence separates our yards and is adjacent to the trees. I have a love hate relationship with the trees. They are beautiful and provide great shade to my yard but as I'm sure you know the suckers and surface roots are a nightmare. I frequently trim the suckers and sometimes cut/chop the problematic surface roots in my lawn, taking care not to inflict too much damage because I don't want to kill the trees. There are several very large protruding surface roots that have sought haven underneath the fence line. Over time, these roots have pushed up above ground enough to start causing problems for the fence. One post has been pushed over several degrees and as a result the fence is starting to bow out a little. It looks like the previous home owner had attempted to cut back this root in the past and even installed a 8ft long bracing 2X3 along the bottom of the fence. I am wondering how likely irreversible tree damage would be if I fully cut/remove the problematic roots out from underneath the fence. In total it would be about 4-5 roots spread between two trees that are around 6-8 inches in diameter. Additionally, could you provide any suggestions for dealing with the suckers and surface roots from these pesky trees?

This bug is about the size of a 50 cent piece. It has 6 legs. Doesn't appear to able to fly. See attached photo.

Very poor tomato crop this year from our heirloom tomatoes originally grown by my grandfather. I want to check my soil and would like instructions on how to send a sample for fertility testing?
