sunnyside, York Co. is very well infested with JBs, probably more so than any other county in ME. I live approx. 20 miles north of Ogunquit and have been dealing with severe infestation of JBs since we bought this garden 8 years ago. I have lived in coastal York Co. for 10 years and there have always been JBs. If you never noticed the JBs in Ogunquit before, maybe they just hadn't "discovered" that particular rose patch. They seem to thrive a little better slightly inland rather than directly on the ocean. Although it's really not pleasant when lounging on the beach to have the dumb things land in your hair, like the other day.

Ok, limited observations is the explanation - when in Ogunquit, I spend all my time not actually on the beach either on or near Marginal Way, so "on the ocean" is the defining phrase. Thanks!
