Is a general fading of the green color of the leaves of the bush. As damage continues, the leaves will develop a flecked or stippled pattern. Excessive damage will cause the leaves to have a bronzed appearance, and may die. Place a piece of white paper beneath a branch that you suspect may have a problem with mites. Shake the branch over the paper. Tilt the debris off the paper then wipe your fingers across the sheet. The green, brown, or red smears will indicate if you have a mite problem. Little red spiders that move fast and are still visible to the naked eye are predatory Mites and are beneficial insects you should not harm.
THE REASON FOR THE PROBLEM…
Is a tiny 6-legged spider that can feed on many kinds of plants. They suck the juices out of shrubs, bushes and some trees. There are about a dozen different kinds of mites that are damaging to woody ornamentals. Most mite populations will rapidly build up a population during hot weather. Mites can grow from egg stage to adults in only about 5 days, making prevention very difficult. This is especially true since some species can have as many as 10 or more generations per season.

THE BEST WAYS TO CONTROL THIS PROBLEM…
Is to maintain cooler plant temperatures through proper irrigation and shade tree installation. The egg stage of some species will also be controlled by this application. Close monitoring of damage and mite populations will indicate whether or not further steps are required. An effective option for you is to use your garden hose and wet the entire bush daily if the plants are located against brick or within a rock bed where heat can build up quickly. This will destroy the webs, foster biological controls, and help minimize populations.

OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE TO YOU…
Include an application of a Miticide combined with an Ovicide for egg control during the heat of the summer to affected bushes. One application may not completely control an entire population but will greatly reduce the damage. Because of the many generations of this pest, follow-up applications may be required. HOME
The Bloodgood maple is a popular plant for a few reasons. The shape and large size make it perfect for landscaping and the foliage on this plant changes colors depending on the time of year. In the summer, the leaves are a purple to burgundy color and in the winter the leaves can turn striking shades of red. The Bloodgood maple also produces tiny flowers and seeds. The flowers are light to medium purple and the seeds are a deep, rich red color.
This plant can reach up to 20 feet in height when it fully matures. The branches lean out and spread and they can grow to be as wide as they are tall. They are considered strong trees because they can handle cold winters. They are a hearty plant and they can survive even when temperatures go below zero. This makes them good for adding color to a lawn or garden area in the winter months.
Many people enjoy the Bloodgood maple because it is easy to grow and maintain. Some tips can help with growing this plant. Although it needs minimal care, things, like preparing the soil and placing the plant in the right area, can mean a more beautiful healthy tree.
You might want to fertilize the soil before planting a Bloodgood maple. Fertilizers that contain nitrogen are perfect for trees and shrubbery. They can help promote leaf growth and produce more blooms. It is best to fertilize the soil before you plant the tree. Mix the fertilizer with the soil and water the area. Wait a week before you plant your tree.

Find an area where you would like to place the tree. The plant loves direct sunlight but it also needs a certain amount of shading every day. The sunlight helps the plant produce blooms and seeds but the leaves can become wilted and shriveled if the plant receives too much direct light. The best place to put the plant would be in an area that has morning sunlight and afternoon shading. This gives the tree a perfect mix of both for a healthier plant.
When it comes to watering a younger Bloodgood maple, you will need to plant it on a hill. The roots can be damaged by over saturation and you will want the water to drain away from the roots. Another good idea would be to make a ring around the base of the tree. It should be around a foot away from the bottom of the tree and you can dig a small trench around the ring. Make it approximately 2 to 3 inches deep. Instead of watering the entire plant, you can fill the trench with water. This is a safe way to keep water away from the plant until it matures.

You may have to stake the young tree if you live in a windy area. Use either a metal pole or stick of wood and place it a few inches behind the tree. Make sure the pole is stable and gather a few cotton cloth ribbons to tie the tree to the stake. Assemble the ties on the middle base of the tree and make sure the ties are loose enough for the plant to grow. Check the ties every day and loosen them as the tree grows. Eventually the tree will be able to stand up by itself and you can remove the stake.
If your Bloodgood maple is getting too big for the area, you can prune it. Cut the tips off of every branch that extends outward to make the tree smaller. The perfect time to do this is after the blooms and seeds start to fall from the tree.
What you’ll see …when a plant is chlorotic the leaves will be a pale green to a yellow or white (in severe cases). To distinguish which type of chlorosis the plant is suffering from simply check the leaves. Iron chlorosis starts on the younger (outer) leaves, and then works its way to the older (inner) leaves. The opposite is true for manganese or zinc chlorosis where it starts on the older (inner) leaves then works its way towards the younger (outer) leaves.
The reason for the problem…there are several reasons for a plant to become chlorotic. One reason could be due to a lack of zinc; another could be a lack of manganese; however the most common is due to a lack of iron. Iron is the most important element for trees because it manages metabolism and respiration and is necessary for the formation of chlorophyll. This is responsible for a plant’s green color and its source of food and energy. Conditions, due to high soil ph, make it possible for other elements to interfere with the absorption of iron (iron can only be absorbed when soil ph, is between 5.0-6.5). Other elements if abundant that can tie up iron are calcium, copper, phosphorus, or the lack of potassium will reduce the availability of iron to the plant.
You should…keep the tree healthy and growing by: Properly watering your trees, avoid overwatering.

Performing a deep root fertilization using slow-release tree fertilizers combined with a bio-stimulant and Mycorrhizae. Bio-stimulants contain vitamins and hormones that will help aid in the plants recovery. Mycorrhizae contain a naturally occurring fungus that attaches itself to the root system and helps the roots to take in more water and nutrients. Another option is to inject micronutrients into the tree trunk. Of course, pruning plays a vital roll in this as well.
New York City has never looked so unlike itself. Deserted streets and vacant stores. Essential workers taking to lonely subways. Mandatory face coverings.
But beyond the changes we can see outright are other lifestyle shifts that reflect the struggles and needs that have emerged within the last month.
Unemployment, of course, is up, and the number is staggering. With the state’s shutdown extended until at least May 15, it is a desperate time for many.
But some of the data shows glimmers of hope. While hundreds of food banks were forced to close, the city’s volunteer pool vastly expanded. Air pollution is down. Applications to foster abandoned animals skyrocketed.
Our altered city, by the numbers, is just as complex as the one we remember.
2,637%
Increase in unemployment claims
During the week of March 22, nearly 144,000 unemployment claims were made in New York City. That constituted a 2,637 percent increase from last year, when the same time frame yielded about 5,300 claims.
And there’s still many who have yet to file as the state’s system was overwhelmed.
7%
Decrease in trash collection in Manhattan
March data from the city’s Department of Sanitation shows the amount of refuse collected from Manhattan residences shrank by nearly 7 percent compared to the borough average for that month over the last five years.
The decrease is most likely a reflection of New Yorkers who had the means to relocate.
Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side and the Upper East Side, neighborhoods with some of the highest median incomes in the city, led the way with 11, 10 and 8 percent declines.
The rest of the city saw little change, although Staten Island logged the biggest increase, producing over 7 percent more refuse than usual.
3,000
Number of applications to Foster Dogs
Interest in fostering pets has surged in the city, as many New Yorkers find themselves looking for companionship and having more time at home to care for a pet.
Foster Dogs, a nonprofit that works with about 30 shelters and rescue organizations in the New York City area, fielded more than 3,000 applications for fostering in March. Traffic to its website increased 250 percent.
In comparison, Foster Dogs received an average of 140 applications a month in 2019.
“It was more interest than we’ve ever seen before,” said Sarah Brasky, who founded the organization.
In March, Muddy Paws Rescue, a New York nonprofit, received seven times the number of applications for dog fostering than it had just two months earlier.
18%
Decrease in morning electricity usage
The dip began as workplaces and schools started closing, then accelerated through the rest of March.
The change was most pronounced on weekday mornings, when usage would normally spike as people started their days and businesses opened. With nonessential workers ordered to stay home, it appeared that many were awakening later than usual.
42%
Increase in complaints about loud televisions
New Yorkers’ patience with noisy neighbors has run thin, particularly when it comes to blaring televisions, which prompted a 42 percent increase in 311 complaints in March compared to last year, according to NYC Open Data.
Complaints of loud talking and music increased by 12 and 30 percent across the city.
Similarly, residential noise complaints, a broad category that’s also one of the most common, rose significantly in every borough, peaking with a 33 percent increase in Staten Island. New Yorkers are especially irritated with helicopter noise; grievances about helicopters have tripled across the city.
90%
Decrease in subway ridership
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has struggled the last three years to improve a crumbling system, even as ridership numbers had been higher than ever. Last year, during one week in mid-April, 34 million swipes were recorded at M.T.A. stations.
The M.T.A., which oversees the subways, buses and two commuter rails, has suffered crew shortages as thousands fall sick. So far, the agency has reduced bus service and temporarily eliminated some subway lines. Already deep in debt and heavily reliant on revenue from fares, New York City’s transit faces a tough future.
From March 12 through March 31, murders decreased by 25 percent when compared with the same period last year, according to the Police Department. Complaints of rape and grand larceny both went down as well.
Reports of domestic violence fell nearly 15 percent. That drop, however, could mean victims have been less able to report abuse.
The virus has put a strain on the department: It must enforce the new restrictive rules while dealing with a diminished force. One out of every six New York City police officers is out sick or in quarantine.
60%
Decrease in traffic at the busiest bridges and tunnels
On the first Monday in March, more than 850,000 vehicles traveled across the M.T.A.’s nine city crossings, including the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge. Three weeks later, that number had plummeted to about 351,000.
Still, the roads have appeared safer. Traffic accidents overall dropped nearly 60 percent, with just over 1,000 motor vehicle collisions reported during the last week in March, according to an analysis of police data by a nonprofit watchdog group.
288%
More people signed up to volunteer
Many New Yorkers volunteer each year, but March alone had an increase of almost three times the number of volunteer applications, with 6,500 compared with around 2,400 last year, based on data from New York Cares, an expansive volunteer network, which partnered with the city to coordinate coronavirus relief efforts.
The large spike in those eager to assist their communities was often directed toward food programs and social support for older adults, the primary areas of need across the city.
“There’s a huge surge in need for virtual volunteering, to have a friend or neighbor to talk to,” said Anusha Venkataraman, the city’s chief service officer.
Despite the increased interest in volunteering, the heightened danger from coronavirus to those over 65 years of age has forced some food bank sites to close, particularly those run by volunteers who are older and retired.
City Harvest and Food Bank for New York City, the two largest food charities in the city, have seen a reduction in the number of soup kitchens and pantries they serve. Nearly 40 percent of Food Bank’s 800 delivery sites have closed while City Harvest reported that one-third of the 284 sites it serves have closed.
25%
Decrease in air pollution across the city
In a twist, the stay-at-home efforts have made it safer to breathe outside.
Air quality has vastly improved, with an average 25 percent decrease in pollution across the city, based on data by state environmental monitors of the levels of particulate matter, a pollutant tied to asthma and lung cancer.
Staten Island showed the most dramatic drop at 35 percent. The borough has long had a reputation for noxious skies from heavy traffic and ferries and barges in New York Harbor.

These crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders are golden and juicy, so easy to make and perfect for weeknight cooking!
Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
I made these tasty chicken strips the other night for dinner along with some orzo with zucchini and tomatoes, and my family loved them! They are super easy and quick for weeknight meals. Air fryer recipes are one of my top requests, so I promise to share more soon!
I like making homemade chicken strips because they are so much healthier than fried versions. The great thing about the air fryer is that the tenders get super crispy with way less oil. This air fryer recipe for chicken tenders only requires a little olive oil spray on each one.
The Skinnytaste by Vremi Air Fryer (affil link) is the air fryer I use to create all my air fryer recipes! It has a large basket, it’s dishwasher safe and food comes out so crispy!
Why you need an air fryer!
Food comes out so much crispier than it does in the oven.
It takes only three minutes to preheat, it doesn’t heat up the kitchen.
It’s safer and healthier than deep frying and it doesn’t smoke up the whole house.
The air fryer has now replaced my oven on most weekdays and nights, whether making hard boiled eggs, whipping up a side dish, heating up leftovers, or making dinner.
If you don’t have an air fryer, there’s still some air fryers left in inventory but they are running low! And if you get the Skinnytaste by Vremi Air Fryer be sure to get a copy of the Skinnytaste Air Fryer Cookbook!
How do you make chicken tenders from scratch?
It’s very easy to make chicken tenders from scratch. Chicken tenders are already cut into strips, so you don’t have to spend any time slicing a raw chicken breast. So, the first step is to season the chicken with salt and pepper. Then, prep your breading stations. Put two eggs in a shallow bowl and the panko and breadcrumbs in another bowl.
Next, it’s time to bread the chicken tenders. Dip each one in the egg and then in the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a cutting board or baking tray until you’re done breading all of them. Then, spray the chicken strips on each side with olive oil spray before placing them in the air fryer.
How long do you cook chicken tenders in the air fryer?
Place chicken tenders in a single layer of the basked and air fry for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, turning halfway. They’re done once the chicken is cooked through and crispy and golden on the outside.
I love cooking chicken strips in the air fryer because they come out very crispy. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake them in the oven at 425 degrees for 16 minutes, turning halfway.
What to Serve with Chicken Tenders
I served these air fryer chicken tenderloins with zucchini tomato orzo and lemon wedges for squeezing. They would also be good with this Broccoli and Orzo or Mediterranean Quinoa Salad. Or, if you want to go the more traditional route, you could serve them with regular French fries or sweet potato fries cooked in the air fryer. You could also try this recipe for seasoned fries baked in the oven.

A free 14-day, flexible weight loss meal plan including breakfast, lunch and dinner and a shopping list. All recipes include calories and updated WW Smart Points.
14-Day Healthy Meal Plan
I hope this find everyone safe and healthy! I am again providing 2 WEEKS of breakfast, lunch and dinner. All meals in this 2-week plan are easy to follow, have few ingredients and utilize LOTS of pantry items. Please note that the first week focuses more on more fragile, fresh ingredients while the second week uses heartier produce and more canned/frozen goods. Make sure to glance through the recipes and cross check both lists with what you already have on hand. There will be some ingredients left over in week 1 (like oats, some fresh herbs, and spices) that you will be able to use in week 2. Also, you may be able to combine ingredients on both lists to get a bigger container (such as milk or eggs).
As I posted last week, here are some additional tips to help maximize your ingredients and limit waste, especially during this CRAZY time:
Buy whole produce (rather than pre-cut): Pre-cut produce is really convenient but moisture tends to develop quickly, which causes it to spoil more rapidly.
Wash your produce before putting it away. It’s just as important to dry it well with a clean towel or just air dry. Excess moisture (especially in delicate produce such as berries or cut lettuce) can cause pre-mature spoilage.
Freeze any meat you aren’t going to cook within a few days of purchasing. Make sure to safely defrost it as needed. HERE are for some food safety tips from the USDA.
Buy potted herbs when possible. That way, you can use a little as you need it. If you do buy fresh cut herbs, check out THESE tips from The Kitchn for storing and extending their life.
If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, you can, in general, substitute 1 teaspoon dry for every 1 tablespoon fresh.
If you are missing an ingredient, check out THIS great ingredient substitution list from America’s Test Kitchen.
WW has changed their plan to now include a Blue, Purple and Green Plan. All the recipes on my blog are updated for the Blue plan. I’ve been updating all my recipes (over 2000) and have completed 2019 with the other two colors, and I am working my way down so please be patient.

Breakfast is always a favorite in our home. We love to make bacon, eggs and waffles any chance we get. Our kids love to have breakfast together on the weekends since we are all home together then. With this new life style and enjoying quarantine together I knew we needed a breakfast change. Fluffy pancakes were a hit! Huge hit! I doubled the recipe then made one more batch after that just to keep up with my 4 kids and hubby. These pancakes are quick and easy to make with pantry ingredients. Fall in love with pancakes all over again with my grandma’s perfect fluffy pancakes!
Homemade Pancakes Ingredients:
These ingredients are quick and some that you already have on hand that are pantry staples. Whisk together wet ingredients, dry ingredients then combine. It is that easy to make and tastes SO good every time!
Wet Ingredients: Egg, oil and milk
Dry Ingredients: Flour, salt, sugar and baking powder
Toppings: Maple syrup, fruit and butter, all optional.
Let’s Start Flipping:
Simple ingredients makes for a simple pancake recipe that is out of this world good. This tried and true pancake recipe will impress all of your family and pancakes will become a simple breakfast meal daily.
Mix together dry ingredients: In a separate bowl combine flour, salt, sugar and baking powder.
Combine: Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and combine.
Preheat Skillet: Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Cook Pancakes: Spray with cooking spray and drop about 1/3 cup of the batter onto the warm skillet. Once it forms bubbles then flip to the other side and cook until golden brown.
The Recipe Critic Pro Tip:
Try not to over mix the dry and wet ingredients together to keep them fluffy.
Delicious Toppings:
Mix and match toppings, enjoy your stack of pancakes plain or all it all together. So many options and flavors to create one of a kind delicious pancakes.

Tips for Making Fluffy Pancakes:
These pancakes will become a staple in your home! They are easy to make with simple ingredients right out of your pantry as well as thick and fluffy. Delicious pancakes every time!
Size of pancake: I used 1/3 cup of mix to pour onto the skillet. This made about 10 pancakes. You are welcome to make the pancakes smaller or bigger depending on your preference.
Doubling recipe: My grandma’s fluffy pancakes recipe can be doubled with all the same ingredients. If it is too thick add a 1/8 of a teaspoon water.
Keeping pancakes warm: If you are doubling the recipe or need to keep them warm while cooking, place the pancakes on a baking sheet in a single layer and keep warm in the oven at 200 degrees Fahrenheit until ready to serve.
Cooking spray substitute: If you don’t have cooking spray, butter also works for greasing the skillet or griddle. Scooping butter out of the carton is one of spreading it and letting it melt or using a stick of butter, directly apply the butter to the skillet or griddle and melt over top.
Cleaning skillet or griddle: In-between cooking pancakes try to wipe off the excess cooking spray or butter for the next batch of mix to be cooked. This will leave the pancakes a golden brown each time.
Making pancakes ahead of time: Cook the pancakes according to the directions. Let them cool completely then wrap them individually or in stacks using plastic wrap. Place inside a ziplock bag or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator up to 5 days or freeze for 1 month. When ready to warm up, place in the microwave, skillet or oven until they are warmed through.
Fluffy pancakes make waking up in the morning even better. Drizzle warm syrup over top thick, fluffy pancakes that will melt in your mouth with every bite!
