Hortiscope: In sandy soil, water frequently but not long

Q: We planted 10 Black Hills spruce trees this spring. Most are doing very well, but three have several brown and brittle branches with no needles. My husband had the sprinkler system on for 2½ hours tonight and watered the trees three days ago for about an hour. I think they are being extremely overwatered, which is killing them.

Pet Care: Dogs, other animals ‘play doctor’

Dear Dr. Fox: I have two dogs. The older female had a growth removed from her leg, and the other one (male) checks that spot every morning when they get up. They sleep on the sofa together.

Prairie Fare: Spice up your menus with hot chili peppers

“I think the chili peppers burned the skin off my lips,” I mumbled after I finished my enchilada. With skinless lips, it’s hard to say b’s and p’s. OK, I’m exaggerating a little.
