Q: I have a 30-year Yellow Transparent apple tree in my yard that keeps dropping its apples before they ripen. Any suggestions as to why, and is there a solution? A: There may be a few reasons for the premature fruit drop. Waterlogged soil and root stress are possible reasons. Record-breaking summer rainfall and frequent storms saturate the soil. When ground stays waterlogged, ro

I have a question about my potatoes. When my potatoes were blooming, I have heard from neighbours that by removing the flowers you can increase the yield of the potatoes. Is this true?

The good news is that you can prune it quite substantially, but you need to know which branches belo
Growing Things: What's causing my peas to dry, and what can I do about it? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We independently select everything we recommend. Buying through us may earn us a commission, which supports our work. Q: Can you tell me why my peas are dying from the bottom up? Last year we had a great crop but this year we have had no maturing peas, and all the plants are dying. A: The problem might be Fusarium wilt. This is a fungal disease. The only way to control it is to use peas that are resistant to the wilt and to plant as early as possible. The early planting allows the plants to deve
