With virtually no frost in the ground, and temperatures warm enough to enable grub movement, skunks, raccoons and starlings are having a field day digging and pecking our turf. Bulbs are starting to pop up too. Pruning a cedar hedge, deterring rabbits, and caring for indoor plants also a consideration of the Garden Show this week.

Poison Ivy & 100 Year Old Jade Plant!

A new invasive species called Hammerhead Worms has arrived in Ontario. Be aware of flat-headed worms - do not touch with bare hands, squash them to kill and report via iNaturalist.ca or the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Take pictures first to confirm sighting. Meanwhile, pruning Forsythia, planting Dahlias, moving Hydrangea and Holy/Thai basil seed germination are all discussed this week on the Garden Show.
