I really did intend to keep up with this blog but summer was even harder than I expected it would be. This summer has been better than last year a bit cooler but still dry. I did loose several plants when we got too much rain in just a few days time, I do have some drainage issues to deal with. Most plants don't like to sit in water for very long.
I have had far fewer butterflies this summer too despite having lots of nectar and host plants. I hope their numbers are better next year.
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.
