Pixie, Yesterday I found the first signs of a 'tent caterpillar' nest on a crab apple tree.
Other caterpillars are waking up now, look very closely for munched leaves.
We had an advisory for S E Mass about a severe outbreak of Gypsy and Tent Caterpillars this Spring.
After I sign off here I'm off to get some Fruit Tree spray concentrate. Things are sprouting fast and I must stay ahead of it or there will be no fruit for Andy.
Wait till you see the little Pear tree in bloom, next week+-.

OK Here is the first pic of my Hens & Chick Sneakers. They should fill in nicely by July, I hope.
I removed the padded insole and tung and punched holes in the bottom/sides. I left the laces for 'character'.
Should I add one plant in the toe area?
