Is it harmful to grow tobacco around tomato plants?
There is no evidence currently to support a problem growing these two plants near each other. Some gardeners have even suggested that since hornworms love both plants, you may be able to protect your tomatoes by growing tobacco near them.
What does it mean if my soil turns green after planting a plant?
They are most likely fungus gnats and are easily taken care of by planting mosquito dunks in the soil.
How long does it take for the poison sumac to go away?
It can take several days to several weeks for the poison sumac to disappear. It depends on the size of the growth and how aggressive you are about spraying it with herbicide.
