GREEN THUMB THURSDAY: Those Pesky Pests

Are pests bugging you in the garden? Stop in your local garden center like My Garden Nursery and ask the experts for help!

Put your leaf and pest into a sealed, plastic Ziploc bag so we can see it.  You may find out that the pest you are worried about is actually a friend.  If it turns out to be a nasty one that will chew or suck the life out of your plant, there are many products to use.

Read about the application time, as it is very important so as not to harm any pollinators or birds.  Aphids can be treated by spraying with water, or if it’s a bad infestation, you can purchase green lace wings which eat way more aphids than ladybugs.  Other sprays you can use are Safer or Bonide Insecticidal Soap, Rose Shield, and Eight.  Healthy plants get less pests than stressed plants, so water, water, water because they are saying that the summer heat is on its way.
