It’s time to take winter rabbit and sunscald protection off thin barked trees for this growing season. #NebExt

For winter interest, consider a witch hazel.#NebExt

@EanDaniels This is great info. Thanks for sharing.

Tree maintenance is necessary on a golf course.

So many spruces have reached their life expectancy and are defoliating. And numerous maples are failing and rotted/breaking apart.

32 dead/dying trees removed in the last 3 weeks.

Reduce the chances of sunscald on newly planted trees this winter with a white or beige pvc column. #NebExt

Oh how I miss in person teaching. This was 2018 and I was getting ready for Lawn and Landscape Weed class. It seems so long ago. Not to mention I have new loud tropical shirts for class that no one has seen yet. #NebExt

Take advantage of the warm weather and water. This is our number one call/email today. Check with a screwdriver before watering to make sure the ground is not frozen. Don't forget to take the hose off the spigot when done. #NebExt #NeWX

Nimblewill is easy to spot in late November. Plan for any desired control measures in May. #NebExt

Noticing thin or outright dead areas of a lawn helps plan for spring overseeding.#NebExt

Probably the last night for these pop of color annuals. Colder won the way. #NebExt

My neighbor planted his potatoes. These raised beds provide excellent drainage.#NebExt

Good time of year to edge your beds in preparation for planting.#NebExt

Oh, those hungry rabbits.
