Groundhog’s Day was February 2nd. Early that morning, Punxsutawney Phil, the world’s most beloved and furry seasonal prognosticator, saw his shadow (despite overcast skies), predicting six more weeks of winter. Here are a few more tips and products to help finish a successful winter garden.

High humidity can be a problem in the winter just as much as the summer and can lead to powdery mildew. Kick PM’s butt with these great products:

SNS 244 Fungicide RTU
As a topical spray SNS 244 Natural Fungicide kills the fungus through a biochemical interaction on the spores. Some of the components of SNS 244 Natural Fungicide are also absorbed systemically by the plant, suppressing the life cycle of the fungal spores and nurturing the plant cells to increase the plant’s ability to fight the disease.

PM Wash
PM Wash works well for cleaning plants that are subject to humid environments. PM Wash is a non-toxic plant wash that leaves your plants vibrant and healthy. PM Wash can be used throughout your plants growing and flowering cycle, up to and including the day of harvest. PM Wash works especially well for washing your plants while harvesting. PM Wash is truly the cleanest solution for your garden.
