Early Summer

Vegetable and Flower Gardens

Begin protecting your gardens by cleaning them of all fall and winter debris. Then keep them weed free and regularly inspect for damage from insects and plant diseases, especially during hot, humid weather. Spray when necessary.

Spraying helps prevent:

Aphids, leafhoppers, Colorado potato beetles, lace bugs, thrips, cut worms, mites and many other pests. Plant diseases that can be controlled include white powdery mildew, wilt, rust, black spot, etc.

Spray material:

For insects, malathion, diazinon and carbaryl are often recommended depending on the problem or plant needing treatment. Check the label before using. Fungicidal sprays and dusts are available at your garden retailer that will help protect against plant disease. Hint: A drop or two of dishwashing soap added to your spray mixture will help evenly disperse the spray.

Sprayers to use:

Hudson makes a wide variety of sprayers. See Catalog Link. These range from small hand sprayers that hold a few ounces to compression sprayers that range in size from one-half to four gallon capacities. For larger yards and gardens, consider Hudson power or Bak-PakŪ sprayers. With roses and other flowers, you may prefer a Hudson duster. Three different sizes are available, and they are designed to make it easy to completely cover all parts of the plant.
