Well damn, I was hoping it was for a good (happy) reason. I’ll make sure to keep an eye out for signs of OE in my native flower garden

Do you have a source for the monarchs not needing more milkweed planted? I’m hoping I missed some great news.

Last I heard the advice was still to plant more milkweed because we’re below the level needed to try and grow the population - since it’s being considered for protection under the Endangered Species Act and milkweed is the only plant the caterpillars can survive on. If we got that done or found a better way that’s awesome

First time I left my spouse and cat alone, my cat trapped them in the bathroom.

Thanks for the quick reply. My peas and bee balm have been hit hard this year after the same mild winter

I like summer squash! That would be really weird though, I’ve never planted summer squash or zucchini in the 10+ years we’ve lived here. Squirrels must be stealing from the neighbors

This sounds delicious, thanks for sharing!

What did you spray for the mildew?

After WNS [white-nose syndrome] detection, insecticide use was about 1 kg/km2 higher in the WNS-confirmed counties compared with the non-WNS counties, relative to the year before WNS detection. After more than 5 years from initial exposure, insecticide use was, on average, more than 2 kg/km2 higher. These results reflect substantial increases, above 25%

The paper, if anyone wants to read it
