I agree. I am seeing more disease on my roses as well. We have been having many long windy days around here also. My young trees HATE it. Especially the plum.

If the ice age is coming it must not be too far away ;-)

I also was worried until a couple nights ago. Curculio had already attacked my bumper crop of peaches, and stinkbugs were much too common in the mulch. The freeze took care of all those worries though--the peaches, that is. I also no longer have to thin!!!
