## Resource

Hey Neighbor! The garden is growing and so are the pests! In April, pest pressure starts building fast. Aphids, fire ants, squash bugs, and more are already targeting new growth, and catching them early is the key to staying in control. Tonight, we break down what pests to watch for right now and how to manage them using simple, effective methods like scouting, handpicking, proper watering, and targeted treatments like neem oil and more. We also cover crop-specific threats for tomatoes, squash, beans, corn, and greens so you know exactly what to look for in your garden. Stay consistent, act early, and you will prevent small problems from turning into major infestations.
