Pesticide Alternatives
Before the use of man-made chemicals to attack all the various pests our farms experience farmers relied on natural techniques to keep their crops healthy and productive. These control systems are not always as effective as chemicals. Nevertheless, as the popularity of organic or chemical-free food production has proven, there is a large and growing market for organic food.

Flowering Deciduous Shrubs - Part 2
Some authors rather look down on the easy, work-horse shrubs as not being of sufficient interest year around to warrant a place in the "proper" garden. However, my personal opinion is that, having the space, one should not ignore plants who are tough, tolerant, easy to grow and provide lovely flowers in season. Spirea are among these easy shrubs for sun or shade. There are lots of pix, so please be patient while the page loads for you.
