stink bug
Brown marmorated stink bugs are still finding their way into homes, especially on warm, sunny winter days. The best way to control them - squash them (you'll quickly find out how they got their name!). If you're a little squeamish, vacuuming is another option. Openings around windows, doors (repair caulking) or in-the-wall air conditioners are perfect entry points for these 6-legged pests. Prevention is your best option. In case you were wondering. . .they do not bite humans!

Consider recycling wood ashes to your garden when the soil is workable in the spring. Just don't overdo it; 15-20 lbs for every 1000 square feet of planting area is tops. Before you plant, have your pH checked; wood ashes can raise the pH.

Even with good care, poinsettias can lose their appeal (or leaves!) after the holidays are over. It's time to swap that tired poinsettia for some year 'round houseplant enjoyment. Cleaning the air or beautifying a room, we know that houseplants add so much to indoor spaces - homes, dorms or offices - 365 days a year. So, bring us your old poinsettia (doesn't matter how many or if you bought them elsewhere!) and we'll give you 10% off your purchase of any houseplant (one or multiple) that same day. Offer good through January 31st, 2013.
