Marvin White commented on Garden-Share's group Vegetable Gardens"Hi Loretta...it sounds like bacterial wilt which is caused by the striped cucumber beetle. Best approach is to remove the wilted plant. Plant again, but this time treat the new plant with Seven- a powder form that is sprinkled on the plant. This…"

"This may not be a wasp. It has only one set of wings. Could it be one of over 200 species of the hoverfly? Another clue, you didn't get stung either! Of course you didn't provoke him either or did you?"
Marvin White commented on Marvin White's blog post Let nature do it's magic with beneficial insects."Hi Don, try trichigramma wasps. Rather than going through their benefits, do a web search for "trichigramma wasps". There is plenty of info and where you can buy them."
"Mr White, I have had a (Burbank) plum tree for about 8 years. In the last three years, each spring I get these green "inch worms" that chew holes in the leaves and burrow into the fruit. No insects are feeding on the worms, just an…"

Can A Gardener Be A Procrastinator?
Posted on March 16, 2010 at 7:22am 0 Comments 0 Likes
According to Wikipedia, “procrastination refers to the counterproductive deferment of actions or tasks to a later time”.
I am a gardener, can I be a procrastinator as well? I am accused of being one from time to time. Notice I said “from time to time”. It depends on what the matter is that I am trying to defer or just plain do not want to do. Read more.....

Brenna z6 PA said… - Hey Marvin, since you have given such good advice before =) Do you have any advice you could give me about planting in a green house? My husband got me one for our anniversary, and it seems to hot to keep any plants in right now... also not sure what kind of plants would do well planted in a greenhouse over the winter... Perhaps there is a website you know of that has good greenhouse information? Thanks for your help!

Contributing GardenerFreddy J. Hill said… - Your last quote fits me. Had great plans to get out this weekend. My publishing software crashed as I tried to get my cactus newsletter out. After spending some big bucks, I had a 15 hour marathon to learn the program and get published. No energy left; sprinkling, cold, and I still have to print and mail the letters. With time change perhaps my energy level will go up as well.

- Hey Marvin, thanks for the advice. I think I am going to repot like you said, and rinse out the roots to get rid of all the bugs. The light seems to be helping for now, but I am sure that is why it is wilting. Thanks for the help!

"Not a pine tree, but related. It's some type of Cycad. Conifers (which a Pine is) belongs in the family of Gymnosperms. So do Cycads, Gingko and other cone bearing plants like Ephedra. Cycads are ancient. Precursors to Conifers.
