Rain and sun.

The weather has turned on the damp side for a bit but will dry up and become warm again. May Night Saliva and Cardonna Saliva are now in full bloom; they are the deeper purple flowers spikey looking. Peonies are almost done blooming,and yet their foliage adds a nice visual interest all season. Nepeta Walkers low is the lavender purple flower that is blooming now with bluish foliage. Weigelas are in bloom too and can accent most any yard. Our shrub roses are in full bloom with mixtures of colors and heights to choose from. Please remember to water and fertilize all your plants though out the entire growing season for best color and flowers.
Now to the nasty bugs that seem to be invading some of the trees and shrubs. I have had several people in within the last week with Nipple Gull on Maples and Hackberry. The good thing is it will NOT kill the tree but it will stress the tree. Clean the leaves up in the fall and destroy, this pesky bug overwinters in them. The best and easiest treatment is to treat with BONIDE Tree and Shrub Insect control with systemaxx. This is the same product you can use for the Emerald Ash Borers too. Easy and affective applied now or sooner. Mix in a gallon of water and water in 2 feet away from the trunk of the tree and that's it. With the weather as it has been fluctuating plants are bound to get something if not cared for properly.
Remember the Best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago the 2nd best time is NOW.
