Anyone seeing any changing leaves yet? Even with record rains there's gotta be some stressed tree in some highway median somewhere that's starting to blush
Should get into the upper 40s here without too much trouble. Currently 62/54 and tanking. I'd rather have warm nights for another few weeks to keep my gardens rolling.
No idea what they are, but just get some Sevin insecticide and they'll be gone. While I try not to use the potent stuff until it's absolutely necessary, any oils/natural solutions are hit-or-miss at best for established infestations.

We got nailed up here with the second round overnight. Tipper has me at almost 6" storm total. Some flooding in the neighborhood, but nothing too extreme. What nobody needs now is a tropical system over the next several weeks.
This has been one of the stormier days in recent memory. I enjoyed it. One more round coming through now.
edit: best storm of the day, and year. Tons of gorgeous spider lightning. I'm sitting under the porch just taking it all in.
About 1/4 of my tomato plants have started showing early blight lesions in the past day or two, in spite of my usual pruning regime and weekly Daconil treatments. Usually I can make it to July before foliar diseases show up. It'd be hard to invent a more favorable weather pattern for continued disease pressure than the one coming up.
