INSPIRATION
“Remember to be gentle
with yourself and others. We
are all children of chance and
none can say why some
fields will blossom while
others lay brown beneath
the August sun.

Biosecurity
“I keep three sets of
boots, disinfect them
when I get home, and
wear a clean set when I
go into fields.”

and Edible Bean Specialist with
OMAFRA on the importance of
wearing clean footwear into

Gardening Hacks
• Got a bunch of bugs, like squash
bugs on the underside of plant leaves
and don’t want to spray or pick them
off with your fingers? Wrap a strip of
duct tape, sticky side out, around your
fingers, press them to the leaf, and
capture them all at once!
