Where do you live? It's still too hot for me here in Chicago, I like it 50 degrees or lower. I love rain, and snow, and cold windy nights! My time is coming!
Grasshoppers now...well...ya know what works fer keepin' out grashoppers?...infrastructure that's what....when I go ta town to vist friends I'll be checkin' out their backyard gardens and I'll be gettin' hella jealous cuz they got no grasshopper problems...I figure if I just pave over my 10acres with concrete and blacktop I should be good....jokes jokes... but what I have done is put up a coupla bird perches 'round the garden to attract birds ta come and eat 'em....what I've heard is that hoppers have a 7 year cycle goin' from boom to bust and back again....No way I'm I gonna use poison tho...
