  1. The black flies were probably the worst I've ever seen them up here back in May. They're still hanging around...just not as bad. The mosquitos were really bad a couple of weeks ago, but they've tapered off too. Now we have some noseeums creeping in. The ticks have been off the charts. I've seen over 2 dozen of them so far...pulled 3 off my leg in the past week.
  2. I like how we have no problem pulling 50s in june and january now.
  3. Hope so...this last period was a fail locally.
  4. Cells to the left of me, soakers to the right Here I am stuck in the middle with
  5. 0.05” of meh. We need a good soaker.
  6. There's still a large amount of ash here although there's spots around CON where they've been hit hard. I have seeds and seedlings popping up everywhere in the front yard including my mulched bed in the front where my large rhodies are. The Darling-58 chestnut should get federal approval this year and then we'll start seeing its availability increase over the next few years to the general public.
  7. They were brought into E MA in the late 1890s and spread rapidly through the eastern half of New England over the next 20 years before rapidly receding due to multiple prevention measures. They had them knocked back to the Cape and the Casco Bay area in the 70s, but obviously they’re making another surge through Maine now.
  8. It was ugly here too. https://www.wmur.com/article/apple-trees-frost-southern-new-hampshire-6223/44080251# https://www.wmur.com/article/labelle-winery-crop-damaged-frost-new-hampshire/43982251
  9. Falling apart for you. I can’t wait for my 0.10” of moderate rain incoming.
  10. Hopefully it doesn’t pour on the bikers.
  11. The wind raged here briefly on the outer edge
  12. I’m reinstalling the pellet stove.
  13. They kept chewing off the tops of my seedling plants. I put water out for the robin nesting in my garage and the chippies are drinking out of it too...and surprisingly no more plants are getting destroyed. Maybe they just needed some form of hydration? lol
  14. More just move in. You need an outdoor cat or more hawks.
  15. Rain with 60s dews. We take. 0.30” so far. The soil has been getting dry…pushing 50cb.
  16. 62F at 4" and 61F at 8" to start the morning here. A lot of my plants have been slow to grow...grapes, pawpaws, figs, etc.
  17. Still safe here. Maybe next year? My area is always wet and damp though on the north side of my hill so maybe the fungus that controls them is more prevalent here. I saw a few big ones last year that were shriveled up on the ground, but never saw any oak damage.
  18. 45° and clear this morning. I’m ready for some muggies.
  19. The spongys (gypsies) don't make tents like the eastern tent caterpillars. They're hitting 93 just south of me pretty hard this year. The oaks are starting to put out new leaves now.
