July 4, 2022Q.Neighbors Virigina Creeper Has Invaded My Yard. How Do Eliminate Without Killing My Lawn.
Plant sprouts are all over my lawn. Will pulling new sprouts eliminate the plant. Or, will it keep growing until it is killed - which will kill my lawn.

Certified ExpertA.Extension publications say the only effective herbicide is a nonselective herbicide such as glyphosate, which kills anything it touches. You can try pulling new sprouts, but unless you get all of the underground runners, it will come back.
You can try "painting" the herbicide on, but it will be a tedious project.

July 7, 2022Q.Poison Ivy??
Hello, I am trying to identify this plant. At first I thought it was poison ivy, but each one has 2 rounded leaves as well, so I don't think it's poison ivy. I have downloaded and tried 2 different apps and I do t think they are right either - the closest was American ginseng and dwarf ginseng. If you can help that would be great. I do t know of this helps, but I do live in the woods in northern Illinois.

Certified ExpertA.It looks like Virginia creeper. The heart shaped leaves are the seedling's first set, which always look different from the second set of leaves. It does not look like ginseng after seeing them in the wildflower pics below. You may find more possibilities there.

ts? I live in a strata setting so I cannot just go and cut them down. The creeper and grapes have been here for decades and I have only been here for one year. I want to protect the roses and clematis that I have planted.

Certified ExpertA.Whiteflies are difficult to control. I used Neem oil on my plants earlier this summer for whiteflies and it helped.
