Lisa’s Avant Gardener Tips of the Week
• Foamy spittle bugs on plant stems look unsightly but do
not harm plants. Wash off with water or use insecticidal
soap if desired.
• Cut off and remove new growth of undesirable shrubs
such as salal and blackberries. Wait until leaves have
hardened off in mid-summer to spray with herbicides.
“We’re glad to get you growing!”
