Consider tree's size before planting

Q: Is there a rule of thumb about how close trees can be planted to your house?

-- L.M., Willard

To get the most shade on the house, place the tree 15 to 20 feet from the house. Several other considerations are important before planting a tree and the following are only a few.

First, consider the ultimate size of the tree before planting.

Other considerations are to not plant trees near underground pipelines, septic tanks, sidewalks, driveways or under overhead wires.

Do not plant trees closer together than half their total spread at maturity.

University of Missouri Extension guide 6900, "Tree Placement on Home Grounds" will answer most of your questions on where to plant trees in the landscape.

Q: I'm thinking about trying a fall garden for the first time. Any recommendations?

-- M.G., Republic

A fall garden allows a home gardener to extend the growing season. Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, and carrots are frost tolerant crops that can be planted in August and harvested in the fall.

Consider the average frost date in your area. Then determine how many days are needed for the plant to go from seed to harvest.

Some plants, like broccoli, don't grow well in the heat. These can be started indoors, and then planted in the garden after the dog-days are past.

Prepare the soil for a fall garden in the same way you prepare it in the spring. A soil test will let you know what needs to be added to the soil to make your fall garden a success.

Pay special attention to soil moisture for gardens started in August.

Q: Are there basic differences between bush beans and pole beans other than the vining of the plant?

-- W.D., Fair Grove

Beans may be classified by growth habit (bush or pole beans), use (as immature pods, shell outs and dry beans) and type (green and yellow snap and lima beans).

The bush bean stands erect without support, yields well and requires the least amount of work.
