My son sent me a link that a coworker shared with him ... it does have some of the information you specifically asked about ... what grows here, cultivar, time to plants, etc. At least it's a starting point for us. And the suggestion about using pesticides weekly may be the key. I'm still not wanting to use the chemicals if I can avoid them, but maybe more diligence with the BT and Spinosad might help.
