Shortly we'll begin construction on our new greenhouse to supply us with small potted flowers and some earlier hanging baskets.
I was not pleased with some of the greenhouse product we received from some of our vendors that have supplied us for 25 years or more.
The product was sometimes substandard quality or non-existent - another result of the "new" economy.
The new greenhouse will not supply all of our needs but will greatly supplement what we are able to grow now.
Since the growing year has been running ahead, please keep an eye on the grubs waiting to destroy your lawn as the egg hatch from European Chafer and Japanese Beetle is about to begin.
By the first of September, any grub infestation should be noticeable as the grass will begin turning off color in patches and the soil will actually lift up when the infestation is severe.
If you detect more than 3 grubs per square foot, apply a product such as Dylox but do not apply "Grub-Ex" with the active ingredient imadocloprid or Merit as it is too late.
Dylox is relatively safe and will do the job quickly once it has been watered in.
Our fall festival is getting closer so make sure you mark your calendars for the entertainment and hayrides to come!
See ya soon,
Tom
