Sally--
would this be a food time, already, to spray down my Butterfly Bushes (stubs leafing out)
with Neem? Remember?, last early summer, the spider mites got them both. Ate up all the leaves!
This happens every year!
This SOOOOO interferes with them blooming! The flowers look like crap.
I realize last summer was like an insect and bug smorgasbord, as we had no winter..
Hope it is not so bad this year.
The pic is from June of last year.

Thanks, Gita
