HORTICULTURE TIP

by Shari Johnson

All this rain has lulled us to sleep - no more need to water daily! But it also brings problems, i.e. various pests and diseases which thrive in wet, humid conditions. Instead of watering, inspect your garden plants - daily if possible - for early signs of distress and treat them appropriately.
