How to prepare your yard for summer

Aphids and garden pests love spring growth. If you see curled or poorly formed leaves on certain plants and trees, such as roses, citrus, or fruit trees, this is a likely sign of aphids. To get rid of them, wash plants frequently with a strong jet of water, blasting the aphids from foliage. Also spray with insecticidal soap or horticultural oil.
