Gardening Tips

I have meadow hay for mulching tomatoes and cucumbers now.

Do you have potato bugs? I have a great organic spray.

Do you have white butterflies on your cabbage? I have an organic dust.

Check your plants for aphids. They like all this cloudy and wet weather. You need to buy ladybugs to take care of the aphids. Go on the internet to find them. They will send the lady bugs in the mail. You need to put the ladybugs on your plants in the evening so they don't fly away and will work for you.

Deadhead your flowers to keep them blooming. With all the rain there is a lot of dead flower heads. I have Jacks fertilizer for your gardening pleasure.
