Margaret Lauterbach: Insects, raised beds and killer carrots
Our mild winter may mean a huge invasion of insects this summer. Many people reduce their insect problems with dormant oil spraying of trees and shrubs this time of year. Follow label directions, especially with regard to temperature and precipitation expected.
Do not spray on or near blue needled trees such as Colorado blue spruce. The oil will destroy the waxy covering that gives needles a blue tinge. The tree will recover, but it’s not attractive until the tree does produce more covering for the needles.
The dormant oil smothers eggs and live insects hiding in bark crevices. Since it also kills beneficial insects and I have a healthy number of those in my yard, I don’t spray dormant oil.
One of the benefits of raised beds, even if the “raise” is just mounded soil, is that nobody walks on the beds, compacting the soil. If you have raised beds, you can get into your garden earlier than folks who are gardening at surface level. If soil is wet, surface gardeners should not walk into the bed unless they’re walking on temporary paths of lumber, spreading the distribution of their weight.

Asparagus is worth effort in garden and in kitchen To grow asparagus is to make a long-term commitment: to settle down on a piece of land, to dedicate a big chunk of space in the garden, to prepare the bed, and then to wait three years before there is anything to harvest.
