Pest and Disease Management

County extension identification and remedy sheets for download.
Most are from my regional extension and pertain to ornamentals and fruits in the
northeast. Many care sheets pertain to diseases and pests that are a problem nationwide.
Gardeners grow some ornamentals as annuals, or in pots or greenhouses, that are not
hardy or native in their regions, so info will be gathered on those ornamentals, as well.
Check with your county extension service for detailed local information.
