Hi Tammy please post for the community.
“Hey everyone—just wanted to give you a heads-up from my garden here in Northeast Ohio. This season’s been strange: barely any beetles, squash bugs, or wasps, which is unusual. Luckily, my neighbor’s bees are still pollinating the plants. But the ticks? They’re out of control this year. If you’re dealing with the same, try keeping your grass short, laying down mulch borders, using cedar oil or diatomaceous earth, or even getting guinea fowl—they’re amazing tick hunters!”
