In your garden there are good insects and bad insects. The key to keeping your garden beautiful and pest free is to know how to identify the bad insects and how to control them without harming the beneficial insects.

Aphids are the among the most destructive insect pests in the Pacific Northwest. Plants exhibiting aphid damage can have a variety of symptoms, such as decreased growth rates, mottled leaves, yellowing, stunted growth, curled leaves, wilting and death of the plant.

Not to be outdone, the budworm is a caterpillar that loves to eat petunias, geraniums and other flowers that you likely grow. Budworms eat small holes in the buds of these plants, often leading to plants with lots of foliage, but few blooms. If not controlled, the voracious appetite of the budworm can cause tremendous damage to your garden in a short time.

In this video podcast, I’ll show you how to spot aphids and budworms and how to control them. As always, we hope you enjoy these video podcasts and your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Happy Gardening!

July 1st is the day when you can start redeeming the Garden Dollars you have earned in earlier visits to The Garden Corner during the first half of the year.  For every U.S. dollar you spend you may match it with one Garden Dollar to purchase anything in the store (gift certificates excluded).

With the less-than-desirable weather we’ve had this year, a lot of good gardening intentions were delayed. But summer is now here in all its glory and the growing season is now at its peak making it the perfect time to use your Garden Dollars.

Greetings fellow gardeners, and welcome to this first video podcast from The Garden Corner Show!  It is our hope that each edition will be informative and help you get more enjoyment from your garden.

Now that summer in the Pacific Northwest has (finally) arrived, it is important to understand how best to care for your hanging basket by watering properly.

We hope you enjoy these video podcasts and your comments and suggestions are appreciated.

Happy Gardening!
