Thirty years ago I lived on a small town about six miles from the coast. The bugs were horrific. I had a huge garden and wore a bug net to plant and weed. The mosquitoes were huge and could bite you through your jeans. Even after moving into the city, there was still an irksome bug season that went from early spring through early July. Now... not so much. I also had a cardoon overwinter in the garden this year. Climate change?
