Transplanted these pumpkin seedlings at 11 AM this morning went back at 3 PM to water and already saw one that was cut by a black cut worm. Keep an eye on your transplants, especially if you’ve done any tillage or sprayed herbicides. This tends to make the caterpillars move.

Found all 3 life stages of blacklegged ticks active May 21 in Ohio! 😱 lots of overlap among life stages can lead to a higher percentage of ticks infected with #lymedisease because it increases the likelihood that juveniles will feed on an infected host #lymediseaseawarenessmonth
