Spider Mites and Controlling Them
 Spider mites on outdoor plants is a common problem. Spider mite damage can not only make a plant look unsightly, it can even kill the plant. Therefore, it is important to use a spider mite treatment as soon as possible on an affected plant in order to keep the plant healthy. There are many species of spider mites. Many are specific to a particular plant or family of plants, others can feed on a wide range of plant hosts. The most common spider mite may be the two spotted spider mite. They feed on a very wide range of plants including many flowers and vegetables. Most types of spider mites feed on the under side of leaves, sucking the juices out of individual cells, leaving an appearance of tiny dots called stippling.

Million Pollinator Garden Challenge
 The Million Pollinator Garden Challenge is a campaign to register a million public and private gardens and landscapes to support pollinators. Pollinators are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of food we take each day, and yet pollinators are at critical point in their own survival. Many reasons contribute to their recent decline. We know for certain, however, that more nectar and pollen sources provided by more flowering plants and trees will help improve their health and numbers. Increasing the number of pollinator-friendly gardens and landscapes will help revive the health of bees, butterflies, birds, bats and other pollinators across the country. Here's how you can help! From individuals, to schools, community groups, and businesses - everyone can make a difference! BEE Counted! Add a photo of your garden or landscape to the S.H.A.R.E map on the MPGC website. Anyone and any size garden can join in our campaign to reach 1 million sites for pollinators!
