Contributors and Content Needed
A few times a year we do this shout out calling to writers who grow and growers who write. We want you to write an article or two for us, to be published right here in this blog, and to be seen by all. We want to learn, and further teach, from the experiences you share.

Seems Like Winter Hort Oil Sale
All the snow we got at the end of October here in the northeast made us think of winter, and thus we figure it’s a good time to use horticultural oil as a dormant oil against orchard tree pests like scales and spider mites.
