We live at the edge of the Pine Barrens... okay, it's more like five
miles away... but our housing dev. surrounds about 100-200 yards of
scrubby woods. My backyard borders on these woods. My wife, while
gardening in the backyard today, acquired a tick! If it's this bad in
suburbia NJ, just imagine what the Pine Barren bogs must be like! I
advise (once again) to use EXTREME caution when entering NJ bogs. We've
decided to cancel all trips this year to the bogs- avoiding the bogs is
the best way to avoid Lyme disease.
I do suggest visiting Longwood Gardens in PA- not to far from
Philadelphia, and their indoor CP displays are spectacular. They have a
nice assortment of Nepenthes, too. They're also free from ticks, at
last report. :)
Cheers,
Paul
