Last night we got just under 2 inches of rain. Today the wind has been horrible, I hate the wind. Tonight there is still the threat of storms. I am hoping they all miss us. Yesterday I planted a micro mini rose beside the house in the big miniature garden, it has 4 or 5 buds on it. When it blooms I will post some pictures of it. I need to make a better cover for it too, the one I made is a lot of trouble. I am trying to convince Richard to weld a better one that would also look better. he is a man of many talents and can weld.
I have read that the monarchs are running out of milkweed in Texas, spring has been too early and the milkweed has not grown enough. I hope we will have enough for them when they get here. I do have several tropical milkweed plants. My native milkweed is just over a foot tall right now, it's going to need to speed up that growing.
My name is Pat and I have been gardening most of my life. My husband Richard helps out with the heavy stuff. I love butterflies and have a Monarch Waystation. I also love animals and have cats, dogs, horses, angora goats, chickens and guineas.
