GARDENING TIPS  
COPING WITH APHIDS
Aphids, those pesky little creatures who feast on the leaves of your favorite fruit trees, can best be attacked at this time of year by releasing ladybugs, (available at most garden stores).

When it's time to thin out the frogs, be sure to read next week's Gardening Tips: "Coping With Alligators."
