| look closely, can you see the mantid egg sac? |
Avoid dead heading all your flowers and shrubs. There are many insects who have made use of your plants for their next generation... see photo above of praying mantid egg sac.
DO NOT BURN YOUR LEAVES! Don't burn healthy wood debris either; shred it or leave it out for solitary bees and other beneficial insects.
Plant woody plants (trees, shrubs, groundcovers) after dormancy yet before the ground is too wet.
Ensure irrigation is functioning on an as needed basis. *Contact us to install a Rain Sensor.

| you can see the egg sac pretty well here |
Apply heavy mulches before your first Fall frost date (here); especially to marginally hardy plants. Avoid crown rot with too much mulch on sensitive plants.
Build mulch stockpiles after you've spread out all you can. Allow it to compost or use the extra mulch sporadically.
