With normal highs in the low fifties and lows in the mid-thirties, some parts of the natural world were caught unprepared too. I’m sure our witch hazel bush wasn’t expecting over a half-foot [&#8230;]]]></description>

For decades, doctors implied their patient’s allergy symptoms were caused by goldenrod pollen when in fact, the actual culprit was ragweed. The thinking behind it was ragweed flowers are relatively inconspicuous compared to flowers on other plants. Unless you’re really [&#8230;]]]></description>

Although cucumbers are their preferred food, melons are also attacked was well as squash and pumpkin to a lesser degree. At this time of the year, [&#8230;]]]></description>

Modern pesticides and strict inspection policies have made finding a codling moth larva, or worm in an apple from a supermarket’s produce department a pretty rare thing for most consumers.

It seems like it’s early for them, but that’s only because the garden plants are small for this time of the year due to our late start. It is the middle of July after all so I would expect some insect problems. The [&#8230;]]]></description>

Eleven years ago, almost to the day,  I posted a blog  trying to encourage folks grow more plants that attract and sustain butterflies. I figure it&#8217;s time to revisit that subject again.

		<description><![CDATA[This week while scouting for garden for pests, I came across an interesting coincidence. Two look-alike, but completely unrelated, insect pests showed up at the same time. They were in the same general area but on different plants in nearby gardens. The first insect I spotted was rose sawfly larvae feeding on the roses. There [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It seems like it&#8217;s been a tougher season than normal for our tomatoes. First they got a late start because of the cold wet spring. Then we had a blast of heat just when they were blooming, causing the flowers to fall off. Now insects are attacking any tomatoes that have made it this far. [&#8230;]]]></description>

I recognized the excavation as that of a cicada killer wasp. That&#8217;s a descriptive, but unimaginative, name for them since they really do kill cicadas. [&#8230;]]]></description>
