Rhubarb, rhubarb, rhubarb
Rhubarb crumble, stewed or baked in a pie, hmmmmmm yum! The only thing that improves a homemade rhubarb dessert is using your own home grown rhubarb. The quickest way to grow your own rhubarb is to plant rhubarb crowns and winter is the perfect time to plant them.
Wilting house plants? You could have gnats!
If you have noticed small black flying insects hovering around your house plants, you may have an infestation of fungus gnats. The adult lays hundreds of eggs in the soil and the larvae feed on the root system of the plant. You may get yellowing of the leaves, wilting and even a fatality or two. Eco Neem is an organic way to control this annoying insect.
