The gypsy moth caterpillars have decimated some of our trees. My seedlings and transplants are doing great, as are our lettuces and herbs. It was 82 degrees here in Massachusetts today. Beautiful!
I like the high 70s and low 80s. We’ll be rising up there more and more - getting into our dry season soon.
Consider going by a nursery, or even a 'Big Box store', nd get some BT ( Bacillus Thuringiensis), a natural occuring , organic control agent.
It will give them all an infectious flu which will kill them ; however, don't use if you are trying to attract butterflys.
