heh.. they are probably dead already?

i have even longer years.. But this time i am looking since.. september? Applying 1-2 per day, on average.. Widening the fishing net each month.. ~2% showed some interest.. but no bingo.

Time to plant tomatoes maybe..

Or maybe join forces and show them how it's really done?

Not that I mind growing tomatoes, quite the opposite :)
