Living in North Texas puts us in prime territory for the brown recluse spider. Rather than exposing yourself and your family to poison (sprays & pesticides), place non- poisonous and natural-attractant-baited Big H TrapsTM to trap Brown Recluse Spiders when they move into your homes to keep you feeling safe.
They are a very low profile glue board that can be laid flat or in a triangle pattern. You get five pre baited traps for $8.49. According to the package the record is 44 spiders on 1 trap.
Spring creeping in has aroused the trees from their wintry slumber (golly, that’s poetic). Now we all get to see what survived dormancy. All the trees should be leafed out by this time of year. If not, the tree or that part of the tree is dead. I know it’s sad, but remember even the Sequoia and Baobab trees die. If you find yourself in this situation here is something to consider.
Wells Brothers and every other lawn and garden store sells products that can do amazing things to plants. But before you start spending money remember that none of us sell products that can raise the dead. If you are going fix this yourself, do it correctly and be careful. Pruning is an art form with the finished product looking like art or something from a monster movie. I call the pros for the heavy tree trimming tasks. The two I recommend are Advanced Tree Care and Arborilogical Services.
Is spring really here? You need to keep a good eye on the weather. Remember last April’s freeze? If you haven’t planted tomatoes and peppers now is the time. Of course you might be planting them for the second or third time!
Of all the things that happen in vegetable gardens none are more frustrating than the sudden appearance of an unwanted bug. It will seem like Scotty beamed them down if you are not regularly scouting your garden. They chew, suck and bore into plants but they also spread disease. One such critter is the cucumber beetle. They come in spots, bands and stripes. They feed on leafs but can also spread some very serious destructive diseases. In most cases, once a plant has be infected it can not be cured.
A good crop rotation plan is the first step in controlling these pests. Scout the garden regularly and act at the first sign of an issue. Weapons to combat cucumber beetles include DE (Diatomaceous earth), pyrethrums, horticultural oils and soaps, hot pepper wax, Malathion and Sevin.
