HEADLINE NEWS: Extreme Heat Wilts Gemmell's Garden Centre Employees
Whew, for the first time in many years we actually closed up shop early because even all the water and popsicles Rob bought couldn't keep us going.
The gardens are loving all the rain and heat but unfortunately so are the weeds. This season leaf blights and powdery mildew have been a huge problem. The best remedy is treating your plants with and organic fungicide like Green Earth Garden Fungicide or Serenade. Rose Chafers, Japanese Beetles and Earwigs are our top contenders for bugs this month. Drop in if you are battling pest problems in your garden we can help you choose the proper products. We have some summer sales starting this week.
Hope to see you soon!
