Just a little reminder … as Spring begins to arrive so do pesky insects, like aphids. Ug! Those stinkers suck the life out of plants. Last year, I was lucky enough to find ladybugs in the yard. (I was on my hands and knees pulling weeds, okay?) I rounded up as many as I could find and released them on my suffering Quince bush.
Backyard rodeo not for you? There are other less unusual methods of controlling pests. Research your options. Keep in mind, even organic pesticides, like Neem Oil, need to be applied in the evening and not directly to the flowers. Our little pollinating friends, the bees, will thank you. Gotta keep THEM alive if WE want to stay on the planet.
