What’s growing on gardeners in today’s 2-minute Garden tip I’m going to show you two things that you need to do in your garden right now that will prevent most insect pests in your garden next year the first thing you need to do is pick up all of the Fallen fruits from

Your vegetable garden and around your fruit trees each of these individual fruits has the potential to Harbor and overwinter thousands of individual insect eggs that are just waiting for warm weather to hatch and infest your garden I cannot stress how important it is to get rid of all of the Fall fruits

From both your vegetable gardens and underneath all of your fruit trees we just had a week of dramatically below average temperatures but today it’s in the low 60s and like magic all of the insects have come to life there are insects swarming all of my Fallen fruits

They are either laying eggs in the rotting fruit to overwinter until next season or they’re in the process of actively hatching so if you remove these Fallen fruits from your yard you will remove literally millions of insect pests from your yard and garden and when you get rid of these please don’t just

Dump them in the woods or dump them in a compost pile you need to get rid of them from your yard and garden so either throw them away in the trash so they are taken away off site or bury them in a hole very deeply so when the larae

Eventually does hatch they can’t get up above the ground and they will die now I know some of you love volunteer seedlings volunteer seedlings are plants that have germinated on their own from last year’s reeded crop well when you get three or four plants that come up on

Their own they’re called volunteers when you get hundreds or thousands of them they’re called weeds believe me when I tell you enough seed has dropped from last year’s crop that you don’t need to allow additional fruits to decompose all winter long you’re still going to get

More volunteers than you know what to do with even if you remove all of these additional fruits and then you’ll be able to cart all of those insect pests off site so you will really be happy when spring rolls around and you got rid of those millions of unnecessary insect

Eggs the second thing we need to do right now is to inspect our trees to make sure they aren’t harboring any type of insect pest infestation and now is the perfect time to do that because all of our deciduous trees are bare and easy to inspect and check out what I just

Found looking over my Asian pmen tree something is hard at work colonizing an infestation on my Asian pmen tree all of those things that you see up close are pest eggs there are hundreds of them which are then going to lead to hundreds of insects in the spring all you need to

Do is get yourself some duct tape and you can just peel off those individual eggs look how easily they come right off like that so check out all of your trees make sure that there are no egg infestations like that and your garden will thank you come spring these two

Things can dramatically reduce your insect pressure next season now an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure and it is a lot easier to remove insect pests from your garden before they hatch than after so I recommend you follow this procedure twice a month about every

2 weeks during the winter and check things over because even if you think you got everything the first time if you get brief warm-ups where it gets above freezing and the insects come back to life they will start laying eggs and recolonizing things again so if you stay

On top of these things and check periodically you will go miles to making your life easier in the spring and that’s today’s 2-minute Garden tip if you’re new to the Channel please consider subscribing and hitting the Bell to receive new video notifications and check out our Amazon storefront and

    Thank you for the helpful information. I have been using Beneficial Nematodes for many years, both in Wisconsin and central Florida. Have you ever used them in your location? I'm a big fan of composting and have a worm tower and other methods to compost using worms. I make sure to never throw away anything that I have grown and always use organic methods. Your updates are always enjoyable. Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and God's blessings in the years to come. I do an extra step with my worm tower. I freeze those leftover fruits and tomatoes apples or any food scraps. These food scraps will turn into black gold much faster in the worm bins once the cell walls of these plants have been shattered from the freezing process.

    I brought a pepper plant in to overwinter, and all of my houseplants now have aphids. Been a right bear to deal with.

    My brother and his wife have their garden next to mine, and just left all their tomatoes on the ground last year. Ended up with THOUSANDS of tomato plants! I cleaned the bulk up after a freeze, since they just had a baby last week, but they're still going to have an abundance of freebee tomatoes coming in.

    Great tip! I have many cherry tomatoes all over my grow bags and on the soil. It's going to be mild this week (NJ/7a), so I know what I'll be doing!
    Thanks and
    Merry Christmas 🌲🎅

    Great information. I have actually put my tomatoes and plants in a pile. I thought it was compost material. I think tomorrow I’ll get in my backyard and spend a little time to clean that all up. So glad I saw your video. Always educational. Hey, Merry Christmas ❤️

    Had a very rough year with my apple trees regarding fungal and pest issues, even though I followed a preventative spray schedule. I noticed that the fox and deer were eating the fruit that dropped. I then began picking up the fruit and carried it into the woods a few hundred feet away and it all got eaten. The fox were wonderful for keeping the squirrel population at bay and it worked out well for all, but the 🐿️. I read that diseased fruit and leaves must be removed a minimum of 100 feet from apple &peach trees.
