    The title says it all; there are these little rust-colored bugs that look like ticks ( I know they aren't), that are sucking on one of my tomato plants, they seem to be multiplying daily. What are they, and can I get rid of them?:/

    Freakin' deer are eating my mcintosh apples!

    There used to be, like, twelve little developing apples between my two trees, but the deer around here cleared one tree completely, and snipped off a couple from my other tree! MRAH!!! How can I fence them inexpensively, but deer-proof-ly? :th

    New peach trees

    Is it necessary to make trellises for sunflowers?

    I have 4 seedlings, and they are getting bent because they are growing taller. I know they aren't under-watered, or crowded, because I give them a small amount of water every day, and each seedling has its own pot. Should I make them trellises, and how?
