Sally,
We've had heavy rainfalls but too far in between to help the garden. I'd like less rain, more often.
I'm no fan of bugs but we had very few honey bees this year. Most of the pollinators were bumblebees. A lot of what we grew was showing what appears to be insufficient pollination. We try to keep insecticide use to a bare minimum and only during the late evening when the pollinators are gone.
