Catherine Shapiro dropped by the greenhouse office to chat about the old days and see what’s new. She was head gardener at the Demonstration Garden for 6 years from its beginnings in 1982. Always an organic gardener, she kept her home food garden going while maintaining our garden, like Sharon does today. Quite a feat! Thanks for starting us off on the right foot Catherine.

I could see holes in the young leaves and mature too. Is there anything I can do ? I want to use only home made organic spray because of my young children like to play in the garden.
I use a spray bottle of three quarters water lots of garlic and dawn dish soap. make sure you spray after it rains. The leaves get washed off each time and you have to reaply. Spray as offen as necessary. Make sure you get all the leaves wet.

Now that I have a garden of my own (past 7 years) I've gone strictly organic. This blog is my attempt to share Organic Gardening Tips with you.
