The Garden Bug: Late summer garden tasks

By Brenda Weaver

Plan your garden tasks to be done during the coolest times of the day. Note rainfall variations and how watering needs change as summer progresses, and make any needed adjustments. Look out for thrips, fruitworms, hornworms, mites, chinch bugs, scale, snails, slugs, etc. and treat promptly. Remove and dispose of any diseased foliage; do not compost it, but rather burn or bag it, then disinfect your tools to avoid spreading disease.
