Japanese Beetle Class - Learn How to Manage their Feeding and Your Stress

Japanese beetles were a little later showing up to our plant buffet (central Denver) than last summer.  But arrive they have. Bummer. I wish they'd forget our zip code and Colorado entirely. 

How about you - are you battling them fairly well? Or do you need some help with ways that can help reduce their numbers on your plants and your stress?

Say no more, I can help you appropriately and effectively fight back by teaching you the research-based methods to reduce their plant feeding and grub feeding on your lawn. As for your stress, I hope that by knowing what to do and when (timing), your stress will ease on out of here.                                   

In the class I cover the very inexpensive to no cost cultural practices that can help reduce J. beetle numbers. Plus I cover the specific products on garden center shelves that are effective weapons against adult J. beetles and their white grub offspring (next year's generation of adult J. beetles). I'll specifically talk about products that are super gentle on our beloved pollinators and beneficial insects.

Last, but not least, I will tell you the latest information on the biocontrol releases that have taken place the past few years to fight back adult Japanese beetles and their white grubs (also called larvae).

THIS CLASS IS NOT TO BE MISSED if you're in town. The fee is affordable and you'll take home very helpful management information.

July 2021 Weather

I have to say that the fine folks at NOAA didn't exactly have last month's precipitation predicted that well. We had some lovely rainy days. No harm or foul for under predicting.

The heat was turned up though, especially in the mid part of June. The tomatoes weren't happy having to endure 95 degrees days so soon after being planted. We had thirteen days over ninety degrees, three were in the triple digits.

Let's see how they do for July.
