---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Plant flowers in
the vegetable garden. Flowers
not only add beauty to the
garden, but also provide nectar
and pollen that attract beneficial
insects. Learn to identify
beneficial insects, such as lady
beetles, praying mantids, spiders,
syrphid flies, big-eyed bugs,
assassin bugs, lacewings,
earwigs, bees, and all wasps.

--------------------------------------Garden Hint: Apply
insecticides late in the afternoon
or in the early evening when
bees and other pollinators are
less active. When using any
chemical, always follow all
safety precautions printed on the

---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Follow the
recommended planting dates
listed for each vegetable.
Vegetables planted "out of
season" are susceptible to many
pests. Plant as early in the spring
(or as late in the fall, depending
on the crop) as is safely possible.
Use protective covers for coldsensitive plants.

---------------------------------------Garden Hint: Create “garden
gold” by converting yard wastes,
such as shredded leaves, lawn
clippings, and wood chips, into
compost. Composting is easy to
do, and yields a manure-like,
organic fertilizer/soil
conditioner, which highly
benefits Florida's infertile native
soils. Organic matter added to
the soil will also help reduce
nematode populations. Conserve
water by using mulch, compost,
organic matter, and techniques
such as drip irrigation.

days.
