Cantaloupes can be identified by the characteristic system of ridges that encompass the outside of the rind and look almost as if the fruit is covered in a net. Look for cantaloupes with prominent, cream-colored ridges and select those that are free of bruising.
Several species of honeysuckle found in NY are characterized as invasive, including: Morrowâs honeysuckle (Lonicera morrowii), Tatarian honeysuckle (Lonicera tatarica), Amur honeysuckle (Lonicera maackii), and Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) .
Spray the honeysuckle with preventive fungicide in early spring. Use a fungicide that is specifically approved for the treatment of mildew. If your plant is already showing signs of mildew, you can also spray it at this time.
