We are in the middle of continual rains and the jungle is emerging! The snow peas are doing great, the beans, basil, onions, dostal squash, tomatoes and radishes- a new one this year- are growing great!
I did lose some perennials from a tough winter, but most have been replaced, and a good sprinkling of crimson clover to fill in spots. I'm in the progress of finishing up the landscape behind the house with wild petunia, a few more salvia and mulch.
I had 30 Monarch chrysalis' with half out and gone. It always makes me smile to see them fly away. I usually have them crawl onto my finger and hold them up to survey their surroundings. I've noticed a couple of things; they usually do a little shiver of their wings and turn their heads to look around before taking off.
The bee population is looking better, but the majority of bees are still the tiny bees, not the mason or honey bee size, I'm hoping to get more visuals on bees once it dries out a bit.
