🪴If your indoor plants are yellowing or dropping leaves, it could have something to do with the cold weather.
🪴Indoor plants need less water during the winter months. Water when the soil mix is almost dry.
🪴It's best to use water that is air temperature so the plant's roots are not shocked from the temperature of cold water. Some drought-tolerant plants such as succulents may not need water at all during the winter.
🪴Remember to keep plants away from drafts near windows and doors, and heat near fireplaces and heaters.

🥦Aphids are attracted to new leaves of cool season veggies like broccoli and kale.

Made of natural ingredients and suitable for use around the garden and in vegetable patches, on top of handling the insects, this spray also gives your plants a boost of natural nutrients for improved resistance.

MULCH 🍂🍂
Before the cooler weather sets in, check that all your garden beds are mulched to maintain soil warmth and plant growth.

Weeding is an important part of gardening.
No matter how much careful planning you do, it’s inevitable that those annoying weeds will start popping up in your garden.

🌱Weeds compete with other plants and grass for water, light, nutrients, and space. Not only do they look bad, but they also have the ability to take over your garden quickly.
There is always the option of removing weeds by hand but there is a much easier option available which is fast and safe.
