What the heck is this beetle? (MI, USA)

Title says it all. Seen at dusk, this beetle on my hardy hibiscus is over an inch long and easily thicker than my little finger. No idea what it is!

Flower bouquet business

I’ve been trying to start my own flower bouquet business, but I have no idea where to buy the flowers online. I’ve been trying to ask local florist but they haven’t been answering my question so I was wondering if anyone knew anything about that and if anyone could give me some advice or tips on where I can buy the flowers so I can start my business. Thank you

Avocado tree emergency

My avocado tree used to be on a wall near my house. One day my father sprayed poison on the land here, not so close to the avocados but not so far. After he did this, my avocado started to get sick, they weren't as good as before and I believe it was thanks to this poison that was passed near the tree. Is there anything I can do to save it?

What is this?

Amateur Gardner here

I'm doing some weeding in my backyard, trying fix it up and whatnot, and I came across this thing here. Can anyone tell me what it is? I found it just growing across the ground like this, and was curious to know.

Need help with Apple tree.

This is what all the leafs and branches look like... is it healthy? I am not sure what can I do to make it be healthy. It gets partial sun and I water it every morning, it's in a large pot with pot soil and has drainage.

Forsythia Bush Roots

Hello I just had an enormous forsythia bush cut and removed. It probably was 40-50 feet in length and 10-15 feet wide. I now have a probably with roots everywhere. I had a local tree service company come by and quoted me $700 to strump grind all the roots. I am considering all other options. How would a root killer work? Some of these roots are very thick. Glyphosate? Any strong root killers you could recommend? I am going away on vacation next week so I would like to apply some kind of herbacide / root killer on it a few times before I leave. Welcoming all ideas / suggestions.

Thank you so much.

Nasturtiums fried in the sun

My nasturtiums got deep fried out in the 80+ degree heat. Anything I can do to save them or is it a lost cause? Water doesn't seem to be helping them (moved them inside recently)

How do I squash this nightmare

This is my first year growing a vegetable garden. I had a pretty good initial harvest of zucchini and yellow squash but now they've been over taken by squash bugs. I pruned back all of the dead stems and sadly there's not much of the plants left but they are still producing.

Ive noticed some hollowed out sections near the base of the plant however, and I'm wondering about squash vine borers now. I've sprinkled a heavy helping of diatomaceous earth and am hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

I harvested some zucchini and yellow squash today but one of the zucchini I pulled off was hollow like a flat sports ball and the insides smelled like rotten death. What do now? Should I just pull the squash plants and be done with them?

I also had just planted pumpkins which are starting to pop up and I don't want the issues I'm having with the other squash plants to spread to my pumps.

What do now?

Why are my tomatoes brown?

Is this blossom end rot? Most of the ones I’ve seen with blossom end rot are pictures of large tomatoes with brown bottoms, but the brown is coming on when they’re still tiny like this. Some are fine and some are like this. What is it and how do I fix it?

(It looks like this because I cut it off the plant)
