Seems strange since we had such a mild winter but it was a long winter so that could be it .
April was so cold, our pond went from almost 80 down into the 40's during april. That stopped them in their tracks. Also wiped out my peaches, the black locust flowers, the lilac flowers. The flower buds froze in april when we had 4 nights of 24-27 degrees.

Shame on them @sissy for being so greedy! Nice of you to even offer them up to people for free :)

Gosh JW i will trade my 94 degrees for a little of that rain .I have come to the conclusion that you can't make every one happy ,In a month they will have lots of babies from the plants and in 2 months overrun by them .Next year they may be off the list for plants but I will see
