Memorial Day Memories

Memorial Day is a very special holiday. Each of us knows someone who served in the military. On Monday, we remember all who have served. My Dad was a WWII vet serving in the South Pacific.  For all who have served and all remembered, the attached is a beautiful combination of graphics and music. It was submitted to me by a wonderful gentleman who served in World War II and was a guard at the Nuremberg Trials . He was a witness to history. Enjoy.

Here is a question I have received concerning gypsy moths. I believe it is true but wonder if anyone has experience, I’d appreciate your experience.

I have been told that to prevent gypsy moths in my oak trees I should wrap the trunk of the tree with burlap and then apply grease to the burlap. Have you ever heard of this?
