Poison hemlock now becoming very apparent in southern Ohio and ripe for control (yes, all parts are poisonous), NWS reporting that based on average high temps, March was warmer than April (go figure), frost damages continuing to show especially in fruits and berries (blackberries looking bad) and some peach trees dropping all peaches due to fruit damages, yellow bellied sapsucker damages being reported, rose slug damages to rose leaves becoming heavier, boxwood leafminer adults flying, powdery mildew showing up earlier than usual, cedar quince rust on juniper stems, seed heads showing up in tall fescue and bluegrass lawns, and reports of oystershell scale showing up on Knock Out roses.
