Encourage populations of beneficial insects in your summer garden.

Take proper care of your backyard fruit trees to help prevent the spread of injurious apple and pear pests such as apple maggot and codling moth.

The garden is a task master and the weather has been hot. You're busy moving the water about, catching up on weeding, harvesting and replanting this or that.
