Moving and Shaking into Fall
This month I have decided to to diversify the topics to include some problems in the garden, a recent trip to a golf course in my area and a message for those of you who will be or are thinking about voting in the general election on November 5th 2024.
How to Control Leaf Borers on Citrus Trees:
I discovered this gnarly little pest invading my Meyers Lemon tree this year!
If you're a gardener or citrus enthusiast, you know how rewarding it is to grow healthy, vibrant citrus trees. But when leaf borers start attacking, it can feel like all your hard work is at risk. These pests burrow into the leaves and branches, damaging the tree and reducing fruit production. In this blog post, we’ll look at how to identify leaf borers and, more importantly, how to control the problem to protect your citrus trees.
What Are Leaf Borers?
Leaf borers are larvae of certain moths or beetles that tunnel into the leaves, stems, and branches of trees. When it comes to citrus trees, borers usually target young shoots, causing wilting and eventual death of the affected areas. Over time, this damage can lead to stunted growth and poor fruit development.

Goodbye Ridgemark: a dying golf course in a growing community
I heard rumors and I had to see for myself and now I am very sad to see a great golf course in its Sunset Years

It could be that we find the act of playing golf, which involves hitting a small white ball and aiming to sink it into a hole, quite fulfilling. Alternatively, it might just be considered crazy. The reasons behind it are unclear, unimportant, and insignificant.
When it comes to a small-town golf course like Ridgemark Golf and Country Club, finding the answer may not be as straightforward as we assume!
I have been playing golf at this venue for numerous years. While it was not the initial golf course I frequented, it was among the first. This course was included in the lineup for my Golf for the Walk charity tournament supporting MS, during a period when the course was nearing the end of its prime.
