This extreme HEAT is causing over-active landscape pests……. Including SPIDER MITES on the ever-popular BOXWOOD. If you see any speckled or off-color leaves…. They need to be sprayed to prevent dead spots on the shrubs. Triple Action or Horticulture Oil should work but need to be applied early before the temperatures exceed 80. Call us with any questions.

The weather is HOT this week, so lets think about GARDENING inside with African Violets. These little beauties will thrive and bloom beautifully if you give them bright indirect light in an East or North facing window and always WATER from the bottom drain saucer. Never get the foliage wet. Follow these simple steps and be a PRO at Violet Gardening.
