Cecil,
I have clients in New York, North Carolina, Alabama, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. In each of these places, this year has been the toughest one I can remember, trying to keep plants, especially filamentous algae, under control. In NY, Eurasian watermilfoil has been the bigger problem. But, algae has been almost everywhere.
