Garden Revelations

Carolina Chickadees have a cheery song and spirited behavior. It is a feathered gem native to the southeastern United States. As one ventures through their habitats, the distinctive "chick-a-dee-dee-dee" call often serves as nature's soundtrack, heralding the presence of this little bird. The Carolina Chickadee is a non-migratory bird in North Carolina, meaning it remains in the same general area throughout the year. While they might move around within their range in search of food, especially during the colder months, they don't undertake long-distance migrations like other bird species. Instead, Carolina Chickadees are year-round residents of the Tarheel State.

Aphids are small, soft bodied insects. They infest gardens and lawns. Aphids can reproduce fast, and come in many colors, including green, brown, black, and pink. These tiny pests feed on the sap of plants by piercing the plant tissue with their mouths, extracting the sugary sap. They excrete a sticky residue called honeydew. Aphids can quickly infest and damage plants and lawns, causing stunted growth, curling leaves, yellowing foliage, and death. They also have the potential to transmit viral diseases from plant to plant. Additionally, the honeydew excreted by aphids can attract other pests, such as ants. In some cases, the honeydew can also promote the growth of sooty mold, a black fungus that covers the grass blades and gives the lawn a dark, dirty appearance. Treat the infestation right away.

Preparing your lawn for the summer heat involves several steps. Start by evaluating your lawn's health and do a soil test to ensure it has the right nutrients. Water your lawn early in the morning in summer and use a slow-release fertilizer to provide essential nutrients. Adjust mower blades, mowing taller for drought resistance. Watch out for pests like chinch bugs, grubs, and diseases like brown patch and dollar spot disease. Regular inspections and early detection are key. In anticipation of late summer thunderstorms, keep your lawn healthy, remove loose objects, and fix areas prone to water logging. After a storm, assess and repair any damage. Remember, the goal is maintaining a vibrant, green lawn that withstands summer heat. These include dry spells, hot sunshine, and summer storms. Love landscaping?
