Oh goodness, I hope not. I've been buying online stuff zoned for our area. Stuff that the local university has documentation on.... But I see what you mean.

Its rampant. Certain pine trees aren't supposed to be brought to Michigan, citrus trees are not supposed to be sent to FLorida or Cali willy-nilly. If you get nursery catalogs you see the notations " can't be shipped to states X, X and X". Small sellers on Etsy don't care about that shit. We have a more recent invader here - hogweed. Looks like Queen's Ann's Lace, give you some nasty skin irritation like poison ivy. FFS
Confession: I've bought seeds on ebay which is just as bad, to get weird varieties of stuff from Asia and elsewhere.

Out west it's Japanese Knot Weed.
FUcking cold ass Michigan. We had 79f/26c degrees, one day, for maybe 2 hours this month. 21 rain days in May. Probably gonna beat that this month. Fuuuuuccckkk. Looking ahead we may not even hit 80f/27c. this month either.
So, my garden is all in place, plants all in and looking good but just sitting there growing at glacial speeds because it's been so f'n cold.

You have switched with Oregon. We have had zero rain this month and a few high 80- low 90° days. Very unusual.

It's a sucky 17c. here @MacG. I could use a few cats to keep my feet warm.
This would be a perfect opportunity for a woodchuck surprise attack, Eddie!!
Stay vigilant! Stay awake! Stay alive!
I think they have all drowned in their holes. Seriously, haven't seen one this year.
I did hit them pretty hard last year. 
Add: ran over dozens of voles while mowing our field Saturday. A few tried to run - they just died tired.
