Gardening Tip: The cool, wet spring (and as the rain continues) creates the perfect environment for fungus and diseases to grow and spread. To protect your ornamental plants we recommend using a systemic fungicide such as Infuse or Rose Shield. For vegetable plants, use Copper fungicide. If you have plants that you are concerned about, please bring in or email us a picture of the problem so we can properly diagnose a treatment for your situation.
