Thanks for that info. So good to know it's not just us. Wonder why they hit so badly this year like this? We finally got them under control but bit late in the season to really make too much of difference. But all the plants have really been putting on nice new growth for what it's worth anyway. We'll now know what to be looking for so hopefully in future we will be quicker to nip it right away.
40 degrees here overnight (got our house down to a chilly 59), not many bees still around to pollinate - so many still green tomatoes we'll likely be ripening in the basement once again. What can be moved into the garage (because they are grown in pots will soon be moved and we'll start closing up the greenhouse every night - just need to protect it all overnight. We're always about 6-8 degrees cooler than what they forecast for us during the summer, but actually are warmer than forecasted during winter. Strange but true.
Soon those nice fall colors will be showing up.
