Question of the Week Number 1: July 5, 2018"Neil, we have a very fine web on the trunks of two of our trees. Inside the webs we see thousands of tiny black insects scurrying around. Will any of this harm the trees?" It's an unusual insect. I'll explain. Photo: Webs of bark lice. |

Question of the Week Number 2: July 5, 2018"Neil, what has happened to my periwinkles? They are dying in just a few days." This disease almost took periwinkles out of our gardens for 25 years. Photo: Is there any hope for this planting? |
