How to get rid of your garden pests

A picture of LADYBUGS- a gardeners friend!

APHIDS- a problem on tomatoes and roses
For a small spray bottle mix one bottle full of water, 1 tablespoon liquid dish soap and 2-3 cloves chopped garlic. Stir gently so it doesn’t get all foamy. Spray the aphids in the evening. The garlic may harm “good” insects as well so be careful when spraying. This should help.
Also- remember ladybugs eat aphids so be nice to ladybugs!

Yolo County Food Bank

Thank you Debbie for visiting our school. We learned a lot about the programs and services that the Food Bank offers, such as Moveable Market and the Fresh Friday produce distributions.We think growing our own fruits and vegetables is a good idea. We enjoyed hearing about the opportunities to volunteer and hope to be able to serve the community and help those in need. Thank you for your big heart and your willingness to help those in need. Sincerely, ESL Students of the Beginning High Class.
