We have a small flower/vegetable garden just behind these raised hothouse beds. Mary plants a new fruit tree for each grandchild and today we gave some attention to those trees.
The apple tree has the promise of an abundant harvest and Mary didn't want to see the apples damaged by insects. She read that baking soda,, warm water and soap sprayed on the buds would help deter the bugs. This morning she was busy with the sprayer.
We used a simple two gallon weed sprayer available at most hardware stores that makes the whole job very easy.
No toxic chemicals, no harsh pesticides just baking soda and soap. We shall see how successful this solution is.
Next job will be the chicken coop; it needs a new roof and the chickens arrive June 24th.
Stay safe and healthy everyone and thanks for stopping by.
