The weather was beautiful again today. The recent rains have kept the weeds growing and I spent time ridding my flower beds of an abundance of weeds.
Now is a great time for over seeding your turf and preparing it for the winter.
I will leave that chore to my husband.
I am posting a photo of my paw paw tree. It has been in the ground 2 years and I saw several inches of growth on the tree this year, in addition to much larger leaves than last year. I was amazed to see the flowers this year and captured this photo when the tree was in flower earlier in the season. If you want a closer look at the paw paw tree, visit the Missouri Botanical Gardens and walk through the children's garden.
I did encounter an insect problem on my paw paw tree this year - I looked out one day and saw the leaves turning brown and curled up and upon closer inspection saw insects and webbing. From my research it was a leaf crumpler or leaf roller. I pruned off the damaged areas and I have not seen any more problems.
Happy Gardening,
Until next time
