>>1744098>>1744101Might be fungal or may be lack of water. Look at the bases of the dead limbs for diamond-shaped cankers and weeping sap. That can indicate a fungal infection. If so, trim off those branches. Hopefully it is just lack of water through the winter. Next time keep it watered and mulched in winter.
>>1744100What type of weeds are those?
>how far from the currants should i put it?Currant & gooseberry plant spacing: 4-6 feet(1.2-1.8m) apart. So, as far away as your small space can allow.
>>1744105Be careful, while you may make new friends via gifting mint to people, it could backlash and they may become your mortal enemy (pic related).
>>1744131Only remove flower buds, not leaf buds. Allow everything but flowers to grow. Roots can't grow if there's no leaves.
>>1744133Chickens, quail, guinea fowl, and other poultry will eat them. Keep in mind that no creature is perfect at removing ticks, but they will eat them as they find them. Otherwise, you just need to maintain your garden/lawn well to prevent weeds from growing and giving places for ticks to hang out on and latch onto you.
