It is Zabelia (Abelia) which is an arching shrub, not a vine or groundcover. Depending on which variety it is, it will be 2 to 6 feet high and wide. Is/was there a label on it or the container?

For the most part it is an annual that dies out when it gets hot. It’s more likely to die out in a vegetable garden or truck farm situation where it dries out more in the summer. In turf it can become a perennial and be a pain all year round. This one is Poa annua, not pratensis.

Every. Single. Season. That’s what I meant by control. Maybe eradication would be a better word. Not easy to do with that species. There are Sportsturf Managers that have spent years trying to get rid of it in professional stadiums. You might not be able to see it during games on TV, but they...

It looks much more like Annual Bluegrass which is a, mostly, cool-season weed. Very smooth light green leaves with a “boat-like” leaftip. There is the very beginning of a flowerstalk in the lower left of your picture. It won’t be more than a week before you have noticeable ones in your garden...

Yes, that should be good. You may have to move it a little farther from the window, depending on the intensity of the light. They can take temps in the 90s for short periods of time if the humidity is high. You should be fine. Don’t be surprised if it turns a bit purple.

The only thing the water will ‘gas-off’ is chlorine which won’t affect the pH.

You have to regrow a whole new root system, not something that will be easy. Use either fine orchid bark or coarse green moss. Soak either one before filling the pot you will be using. Plant it up to the bottom leaf. Give it bright light, warm temps (75-85*) and as much humidity as possible. The...

Don’t give them water. Chase them away whenever you see them. Make them as terrified of people as you can. If you have to put metal conduit around the pipe to keep them from chewing, then do that. A ‘friendly’ coyote will end up a dead coyote when it loses its fear of humans and bites one to see...

Have you given it more light? Without more light the fertilizer won’t help.

Check out carcinogenicity of acrylamide. The IARC (the group that designated glyphosate carcinogenic), U.S. National Toxicology Program and EPA designate acrylamide as probable, likely and reasonably certain to be carcinogenic. I love how you research before you post. All it takes is a quick...

Most of the residential lots do not apply any pesticides, while most of the agricultural acres do. The non-agricultural acreage (this includes golf courses and play fields) is a tiny sliver of all pesticide application.

Should be fine as far as suitability goes. Skip the layer of perlite; it will cause poor drainage rather than improve it. Water won't move from one texture layer to another, coarser or finer, until it is saturated above the interface.

Looks like Oakleaf Hydrangea, Hydrangea quercifolia.

The Native American tribe with a written language is Cherokee. The inventor was Sequoyah. He adapted it from English in 1821.

How big is the crew and how many acres is the facility?

Under the category of ‘Vegetables can be ornamental’. I grow them, but I don’t eat them.

I would move it closer to a light source and make sure it doesn’t get too cold.

I never said they didn’t taste good. Just that they weren’t “tastier“ enough to sacrifice the space for something that wasn’t ornamental. I know “vegetables can be ornamental, too”, but not enough for me to skip something better-looking. Have you taken a good look at a tomato plant in the middle...

In California you can no longer get glyphosate at big box stores. You have to go to landscape supply stores like SiteOne or irrigation supply outlets. We (Cal Poly Pomona) get ours from wholesale distributors under a number of different brand names. The State of California is pushing physical...
