Has anyone seen more adventurous wildlife lately?
Yes, a lot of rabbit damage to the vegetable garden. much more than
usual. The deer ate my rhubarb to the ground after leaving it alone for
4 years.
I also had poor graft success, but I attributed it to the relentless
fireblight strikes this spring and summer. Just as new growth would get
started on the pome scions, about 1/2 - 1 inch of leafy growth, the tip
would blacken, then the whole area of new growth would blacken and
necrose. Very discouraging...
