Every year is different; weather variations & crops grown nearby can have an enormous impact. In my area, I think that many insects this past year were fooled by a very warm early Spring, and came out of dormancy only to starve to death. Drought also may have helped, by keeping wild populations of insects down. This was a double-edged sword. I had very few caterpillars, but I also had almost no ladybugs... which usually wipe out my aphids in July without any help from me. My home & shed were full of dead ladybugs this Spring, and without them, the aphids were more of a nuisance than usual. Fortunately, lacewings & wasps (!) reduced their numbers in late Summer. Yellow wasps continue to amaze me... I'm starting to think of them as friends. Mgatlin, there is a good chance that your OG techniques influenced your results to at least some degree. I am a firm believer that healthy plants can fight for themselves, and that you should feed the soil, not the plant. Keep it up!

Thanks Dewaine so much for identifying the bugs for me! You have no idea how long I've been trying to figure out what these little boogers are!! I guess it's good that they're not "known" to hurt Plumerias, but like you I will still spray with Insecticidal Soap just in case. Now to my next problem...WHAT DO I DO ABOUT THE LATEX SITUATION?? I HAVE ALREADY PRUNED SOME OF MY PLANTS BECAUSE I KEPT CUTTING BACK AND CUTTING BACK LOOKING FOR THE LATEX TO FINALLY OOZE OUT AND IT NEVER DID, BUT THE TISSUE INSIDE IS ALL NICE AND GREEN AND SOFT, JUST NO LATEX. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? THE STEMS ARE A LITTLE SOFT, BUT I JUST THINK THAT'S BECAUSE I HAVEN'T WATERED THEM FOR A WEEK..ANY HELP OR INSIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED! THANKS!!!

Thank you . I don't see my problem listed so I will ask the question on their forum. I downloaded IE 10 hoping that may solve things but it didn't. Also, I could access Outlook from that site.

I have never heard of an ISP that told you what to use as your email address. Are you talking about your ISP when you say your provider or something else? When I set up our comcast I set up an email address similar to what you are saying with some initals and part of the name. I never use it but set it up just in case I should need one and to get any correspondence from comcast should they email me. I later decided to tie that email account to my ebay account and ebay came back and said that email address was already in use by someone. HUMMM well how can that be? So I created a different one at comcast and used it. Fast forward to last week when just for the heck of it I decided to go check on those comcast addys to see if there was any mail. Well that first one had a ton of spam in it and several emails from someone with the same initals/name and it looks like he also has that same email address. It has not been an issue for me since I just do not use that address but I was able to open all those emails of his and they were business related and some were legal. I am sure he would not be happy about that I know I would not be happy. I have no idea how comcast let that happen, each email address should be unique and never be allowed once someone has locked it in. the other 2nd comcast one I set up and ended up tieing to my ebay had zero spam and only email from ebay in it. very weird and sounds like maybe something very similar is happening in your case. If so the ISP should be able to check those 2 accounts and see why exactly that is happening. Definitely check your full headers and get all the routing info and let them have that info so they can sort it out. you may have to ask how to show full headers each email client is different, I have not used outlook express in ages.
