Jewel, found this in the local paper and wondered if they were that bad in your area. They are getting pretty voracious here. They are even eating my spruce trees. I mixed up some of Evamae's habanero mix to spray on the trees and so far, it's working. I think I will have to give them another spray soon. I hesitate to spray the flowers, because I have so many kittens wandering through them. I would hate for them to get some on their fur and then lick it off.!! They would be like in that joke, 'passing a Voltswagen'!! LOL
How is your corn? Ours is getting that sickly silver-gray color and the leaves are curling and pointing upwards. Some fields are worse than others. Did you get any of that nasty weather last night? We only got 1/4 inch of rain. I don't feel so bad about ours since they had some fields on the news last night and they were all dry and brown already. I'm trying to count my blessings as MaryE always says.
I couldn't get this on to my e-mail, so I thought I would post it. Hope they aren't that bad.
Ruth
