OUT IN THE GARDEN

Are Thrip infestations one of your annual garden problems? Thrips become active right about now so this is the time to take action. Most people don’t know they have a problem until later when serious damage shows up with silvery tops to leaves and brown underneath. An occasional spray from now on will ensure you never see the ultimate unsightly result.

The systemic Groventive is the way to go. I give Viburnums a quick spray when I’m doing the roses and avoid the Thrip problem.
