Golden State Gardening
Misty, fern covered coasts; hot, golden hills; pine forests; desert; you'll find these and more in California.

Is it spring yet? I was overly optimistic and started planting in the winter due to a bit of sunshine and mild weather. Then the frost came on like a white demon! My beautiful Australian Tree Ferns, once so lush and green now look like a burnt, brown crisp mess, but I'm sure they'll pull through like they always do once it warms up again.

The citrus do not look very happy, but they look alive. At least the chill is good for the dormant fruit trees so hopefully this year there will be a nice harvest. And, a little frost doesn't seem to bother the bulbs. The hyacinth are blooming cheerfully and the daffodils are almost ready to burst into bloom.

Along with the joys of spring come the temptations to use chemicals to get rid of the little garden pests that invade our prize flowers. I'm thrilled to have found natural, non-toxic alternatives. Please see our Organic Gardening Tips on the right and Gardens Alive! for very simple and easy to do remedies that really do work!

I know spritzing aphids off roses with the hose sounds too easy, but it's worked wonderfully here. No toxic chemicals are used that leach into the waterway or harm birds and the roses are always gorgeous.

Happy Gardening!

Organic Gardening
Getting Rid of Pests: Commonly used insecticides can have far reaching ill effects on your garden and the environment. Often beneficial insects like ladybugs and praying mantis, as well as birds, are killed along with the pests. Toxic pest control chemicals and chemical fertilizers pollute ground water, the rivers and oceans.

Non-Toxic Insecticides are far better for your garden and you. There are also many things that you can do that involve no extra chemicals at all!

When aphids are a problem on roses, I've found that simply squirting them off with the garden hose does the trick! No need to use chemical pesticides! Of course, ladybugs and praying mantis are also great little garden helpers.

Snails are particularly nasty pests here. If you put out bait, there is the danger that dogs or cats may eat it. You can easily hand pick early in the morning or late at night. Using two plastic bags helps. Or you can set out a saucer of beer (but in this case you'd need to protect against animals also). You can also find many non-toxic pesticides and natural gardening products at Gardens Alive!
