The Gardening Year

Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or organic pellets containing iron phosphate.

Powdery mildew: Ensure good air circulation and water at the base to keep foliage dry.

Root rot: Plant in well-drained soil and avoid overwatering, especially in winter.

Rosemary beetle: Hand-pick adults and larvae or use biological controls like nematodes.

Leafhoppers: Spray with a strong jet of water or apply insecticidal soap if infestations are heavy.
