These continue to be a problem.  Lately I’ve been getting reports about powdery mildew on plant leaves, (treat with a good fungicide); the presence of large grasshoppers, (best control is crushing between 2 bricks!); and thrips on roses, (control will depend on type of thrip.  If you live in an area with lots of trees, beware of small brown ticks attaching to your body.  As our rainfall increases, mosquitoes are sure to follow.  (Try to drain any standing water if possible.)
