Got a question? Maybe the garden team can help!
A fellow Gardener asked about white powder on her petunias. Some research
determined that this might be powdery mildew, a fungal infection spread by the wind,
and can also spread from plant to plant.
It will not kill your plants, but will reduce their blooms and disfigure the plants. It can also
spread to other flowers and vegetables.
What to do? Remove any damaged parts of the plant and throw them in the garbage,
not in your compost. Overhead watering will help to wash off the spores. You can also
use a very mild detergent mixture. Be sure your plants are in full sun and have
good air circulation.
Good luck!

This is where three gardeners use their imagination and creativity to create a planter each, with a box of mystery plants that they don’t see until just that moment! It’s fun and gives all of us planting ideas!

While you are planning this year’s garden, be sure to allow space for a row or two of plants that will attract bees.
Log on to www.cheerios.ca and sign up for free seeds to encourage bees to visit your yard.
One in three bites we eat are made possible because of the amazing and hard-working bees, so they deserve any help we can give them!
