i thought it was pretty harmless when I found the two boxwoods in the veg bed full of leaf miners. I observed how they were eating between the upper and lower skin of each leaf.  Gave them a hard cut back and put the cuttings in the garbage.  Today I see that all of the boxes in the perennial garden have what looks like microscopic puffy noodles all over the new tips. Looks like I have boxwood psyllids (Hemiptera).  I researched a systemic toxic, but they are right next to the columnar apple trees that have bloomed this year.  Let’s hope it is something innocent.

It is the year of blooms. The lilac is amazing, the apples and even the young pears bloomed.

  
Need to find an easy way to track my use and application of fertilizer. A bit random and that’s not good.

Even the evergreens are going to town.
