Happenings The nurseries are getting new shipments in every day. It’s great fun to pick up plants and see how nice they look in their new settings. We are concentrating on tree and shrub plantings now. Soon we will start planting the bright annuals and the perennials.  Walls, walks and patios are in the works as families are preparing for graduations and weddings to come. The recent storms have generated some tree damage to be cleaned up.  Speaking of ‘generation’ we have seen several trees struck by lightning during those storms. Our deep root liquid feeding of trees takes place on rainy days. Since we’ve had some rain lately those clients who returned our fertilizing letters have their work all caught up to date. Liquid feeding is ongoing through the year so a new group is already starting. The dormant oil sprays are almost completed. Soon it will be time to control Eastern Tent Caterpillar.  If they are small and you can reach them break the web open with a stick and spray them.  If you cannot reach them or they have developed a stronger web we can take care of them. Birch Leaf Miner will be stinging the birch leaves soon.  If you’re not already on our list call us. This insect arrives every year without fail.  The first sprays for the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid are almost completed, the next sprays will take place later in the summer and into the fall.  This pest can be controlled.  You can identify it easily. It looks like bits of snow on the hemlock twigs. You may also see some evidence of Gypsy Moth infestation around this time of year, small hungry dark caterpillars that will be growing rapidly.
