Happy 1st Day of Summer!

Happy 1st day of Summer. Whether the weather decides to agree with that statement might be a topic of discussion. Planting time is still going and the shrubs and trees are just happy to go from our place to yours. We have many perennials and hardy shrub roses still available.

I am sure you have noticed that this year the bug and leaf problems have increased considerably than in past years. If your plants are young and do not have the root system on them they will need to be treated. Keep in mind that once the leaf is chewed on or discolored from a disease it most likely will not return to its normal shape or color very soon. Please bring in a sample of what you are having problems with and we will try to help you with the proper treatment.

Putting down a systemic insecticide is a very good idea and it is time to do so if you have not already. Adding root stimulator to your water will help any new or sad looking plants.

Until later. Have a safe and happy day, keep planting. Donna
