Plant strawberries by digging a V-shaped hole about 8 inches deep.  Spread the roots out, place the roots against the side of the hole, then push soil against the roots.  As the plant sends out runner, trim all but the best six runners for an abundant crop.

Prune raspberries in the spring of their second year to 3 1/2 feet.  This will force the side branches to grow providing fruit later in the summer.

Harlequin bugs are smelly bugs that pierce the tissue of plants and suck the fluids.  Keeping your garden clear of debris and using crop covers is a preventative measure. If you find these bugs, spray with a soapy water solution.

When planning a vegetable garden, know what varieties will grow in your climate, know the frost dates, plant cool weather plants either early or late, know each vegetable's time to maturity, start successive plantings in a nursery to save garden space.
