Ok- I live in an apartment and this looks like a maple sapling. I have pulled it year by year because, it can’t live here. It’s in between my brick exterior wall and patio concrete. This is not the ideal spot for a whole maple tree. The problem is, is has more will to live than any human, weed, bug ect I have ever know. I have pulled, poured boiling water on it, poured strait vinegar on it. The only thing I have not tried is some type of weed/plant killer. Idk- I have heard bad things and I have pets.
What should I do next!?!??

Ps- a lot of my friends thought it’s poison ivy or another related plant. It’s not the case. This guy has a stick like “trunk” as thick as my thumb this year

Just recently i made this flower garden in my front yard, i planted multiple perennials in it but my coral bells really don't seem to be taking. The garden is on quite a slope, i dont know if maybe they're getting too much sun, or not enough of something. Im pretty novice to gardening so any tips or tricks are definitely useful. We've been getting a ton of rain and even when we dont i make sure everything is watered every evening.
Thanks.

Zone 6B! Usually plant Memorial Day weekend but going in a week early to try and get them in ASAP! Hopefully the weather participates! Lows will be in the 50s by the time I plant …. I think I have too much 😅

We are still having temps drop to under 50 at night time. I am ITCHINGGGG to go buy my colorful annuals but trying to be patient 😅. Planning to finally get some annuals in the ground first week of June!

This stuff is all over my front and back yard…I have two small children and we are outside ALL the time. I have a hard time seeing so I’m not 100% sure. Can someone please please tell me this is not hemlock?? Ps I did wash my hands after touching. Zone 6b Kansas

I know it’s still early in the year, but… last year I sprinkled a ton of Eden Brothers deer resistant wildflower seeds in this area. It feels like coreopsis is nearly the only thing coming up and a ton of it.

Should I thin them out and sprinkle different seeds? Or wait it out and see what happens?

I would love some color in this area besides just yellow 😉

My rhododendron is planted in partial sun/shade. the leaves are browning on the edges. My plant doctor app claims it has winter burn which is causing it to not get any water - it recommends deep watering. I worry about this recommendation given that this has been a VERY WET spring. It's been raining almost daily for months. Can anyone provide any insight on what is happening and how to treat it?
