Wildbirds, hello Mayo! I am in SW England where we have the dreaded gall midge. Some years are better than others for the earlies and extra earlies but I don't buy either unless they re-bloom. There is nothing more soul-destroying than having to cut off entire scapes because every bud is affected. I have not found the 'trap' theory effective at all. This year I lost all my e & ee plants plus some early mid-seasons. John Karl Seager has always put on a wonderful display but this year I didn't have one good bloom and it is not a re-bloomer
