| I will not resign over fatal shooting says Met Commissioner

Watch out for plant pests this season
We are having a wonderful, long fall season. The trees have had enough cool days to achieve their full glory of red, burgundy, yellow and orange. Many flowers still are blooming and some plants are putting on new growth in their confusion about what season this is. The days have been warm and the nights have been cool. This fluctuation is perfect for the development of powdery mildew. New growth is a haven for aphids. Many trees, shrubs, and perennials have aphids on their new growth now. Even if the gardener cannot see the aphids, the sticky syrup that coats the leaves alerts the gardener to the aphids' presence. We will have some hard, insect-killing freezes soon that will solve the aphid problem for most gardeners. However, for those who do not wish to wait, the plants can be sprayed with insecticidal soap or other insecticides to eliminate the aphids.
