PKG Bonus Tips
Be on the lookout for garden pests and diseases in your low desert Phoenix Kitchen Garden in April. Aphids, beetles, thrips, and cutworms can do quite a bit of damage seemingly overnight at this time of the year. Remember to look under leaves, along stems, at the base of the plant, and where new growth is emerging – these are favorite hiding places for damaging insects!
