In the garden this week: as it gets hotter, water your newly planted trees and shrubs more remembering they need more water than watering your lawn will give. For the first year or two most of the roots are contained in the root ball of the container they were in. I planted a crabapple tree a couple of weeks ago and have watered it every three days. Stick your finger in the root area and if dry water.
The spots appearing on apple and pear trees are apple rust. They are roundish reddish-brown lesions going through the leaf. There is not much that can be done now, and apple rust does not harm older trees.
There is a lot of herbicide drift still showing up on tomatoes and peppers being very susceptible to 2,4-D injury. Most herbicide shows up as deforming (curled) leaf growth. Roundup usually shows up as a browning of the leaf area or brown spots. Aphids will curl leaves but look closely and you will see the aphids in the curling portion of the leaf.
If you have a good apple crop you might want to think about spraying the apple maggot. I have not seen any yet, but when you have them, it is too late. So, if you have had damage from the maggot, spray with an all-purpose orchard spray every 10 days until mid-August (follow label instructions). Online there are apple maggot sicky traps you can hang in the tree.
Do not water in the heat of the day for lawns, flowerbeds, and gardens. Not only do you waste money, but it can also harm some plants. Wait till early morning.
