Pest Alert
Insect Alert
Most insects have thrown in the towel for the season. But it is still a good idea to keep your insect eating bird friends around and healthy. This is a good time to put out a suet feeder. This will bring the beautiful birds closer to view and also keep them active in your garden where they will continue patrolling for insects that may be overwintering somewhere in your garden.
Diseases alert
Remember if you have had any disease problems to do a thorough job of removing infected plant material from the garden now. If you remove the source of infectious fungi and bacteria you will break the cycle of reinfection next year.
