Ask Burton: Q: I have a vegetable garden I put in a couple of years ago, and it’s pretty good, but I just can’t seem to get carrots to do what I want. Any carrots I grow are stubby or misshapen (and tougher than normal!), depending on whether they’re growing in my in-ground garden or my above-ground one. Any ideas to help?January 30, 2018

Ask Burton: Q: Three of the 9 eastern red cedars we planted about a month ago have something on the tips of the branches. All 3 of them are in the same area. The rest of the tree is green and looks fine. This does not appear to be a disease to me, as all of these tan colored tips are pretty much uniform on the outer branches of the tree. The other 6 cedars do not have this (branches are 100% green – including tips of branches). What is happening to these 3 plants?November 21, 2017
