The One asked:


I have a crapappple tree. I was wondering that if there are no bees to pollinate the tree, what happens to its flowers? Will they die immaturely or not?

I know it wont bear fruit, but will it damage the tree and/or its flowers?
So if I don’t pollinate the plant, there wont be any more flowers next time?

Goodieb asked:


I’ve read conflicting information on different websites. I planted the broccoli from seedlings about a month ago. There isn’t much broccoli on each plant but it’s getting really warm where I live (mid 80s to mid 90s) and the flowers are starting to appear.

I live in south-western Pennsylvania. I want to know if you could give me some suggestions on plants/flowers that grow back every year on their own?
I have a tulip bed, but that is it.
Thanks.
