Caller:
Recommendation – If it’s healthy and doing well, he can leave it alone. He should just wait for the fruit and he could thin them out later on if it looks like it needs it. It could increase the quality of the fruit, he can thin them out.
Text From a Listener:
Recommendation – It’s a very tough plant that can take full sun and doesn’t need a ton of water. It stays kind of small and the one problem is that it’s easy to over-water them. Don’t trim it too much, either.
Caller:
Recommendation – Maybe….it depends on what he exposes while cutting it back. Citrus needs to have some protection from the sun. It could damage the trunk and cause sunburn.
Text From a Listener:
Recommendation – If it’s a healthy lawn, you don’t. It won’t hurt and they can fill in the bare spots, but it should be okay without it as long as it’s healthy.
Caller:
Recommendation – It sounds like he’s done everything he can do by flushing the root system. He’ll want to cut the water back to avoid over-watering them and just wait. Don’t do anything to see if they comeback. (early spring)
Text From a Listener:
Recommendation – Don’t let it go dormant yet. It’s too early for that. Jay would feed it one more time & keep it green as long as they can until nature makes it dormant. It’s a great time to use pre-emergent herbicide.
Recommendation – Sure. It doesn’t help or hurt that much.
Recommendation – Jay thinks it might be vine milkweed. It usually lives off of another plant, so it might need to have the other plant and root system removed.
Caller:
Recommendation – We don’t see any issue with using them, unless they were treated with something that’s toxic. It should be good to go.

Caller:
Recommendation – We’re not convinced it’s a date palm that is actually edible. We’ll need a picture to determine.
Caller:
Recommendation – Jay’s experts never want irrigation under the turf because repairs are so hard to make at that point. It might not be that big of a deal to have the turf right up to the trunk. We walk through his options.
Recommendation – It should not be an issue. Watering seed should not damage the trees in that short amount of time.
Call or stop by Harper’s Nursery & Landscaping Company all week!
Caller:
Recommendation – We get a lot of this during this time of year. The big swings in temperatures during the day/night causes it. Rosie talks through warning signs with foundation issues, but she’s probably okay.
Text From a Listener:
Recommendation – Yes. It’s the same concept with the home changing temps throughout the day.
Caller:
Recommendation – Rosie describes his & Jennifer’s “Dream Home” that includes all the reasons why and how the maintenance is very minimal. Outside walls, interior walls, doors, windows, roofinge, etc.
Caller:
Recommendation – The one brand Rosie’s seen his plumbers use is Grundfos Circulators. We talk through the settings to make sure he’s got a warm shower every morning and doesn’t waste energy.
We’re talking about when you can use a handyman!
Caller:
Recommendation – All of it depends on the cost of materials he wants to put in for cabinets and the sink. It sounds like he should be okay to do it with a handyman.
*Rosie talks about puting in a waterproof lining in each of these islands so you avoid the major water leaks that cause big damage $$$.
Caller:
Recommendation – You’ll need to listen to get the full story as we talk Stuart through what to look for and how to avoid pest issues. He’ll need to treat for termites.
