You look prepared for the ticks!!(lol). As much as I'm in and out of the woods and bramble daily as a course of my work, I've been fortunate so far regards ticks. Surprised, as I am located in ground zero, so they say. Had a major wind storm a few days back and my monster clone definitely took a hit. Wind laid her over, natures way of super cropping I reckon(g). I was getting worried about height as she's about 3ft tall and we're only entering the third week of June. She appears to have recovered, but might have to do some propping up once we get to late flowering, will play it by ear.
