Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.This makes me sick. I work so hard to plant things that support the butterflies. I have had three in the past week come out of their cocoon, and always try and protect them. I'm so sad that my grand children may not be able to grow up with butterflies.

I've got five huge plants in my yard for them. Always get quite a few that stop by here on their way to Mexico.
@Redheadedgammy Yay!

Posted by FrostyJimBerries do very well in Alaska... I'm growing strawberries, honeyberries, raspberries, gooseberries, and black currants ...oh and rhubarb too - it goes well with berries in a pie, jam, or cobler!

Posted by FernappleIts the time for one of my favourite flowers, Primula florindae, the giant cowslip to flower. The cinnamon scent fills the garden on warm days.
Posted by FrostyJimIt's almost salad season. It is amazing how fast my salad greens grow in just 3 weeks since setting out my seedlings in our long Alaska summer days...

Posted by FernappleNature is the best gardener still. All nature asks is a little space, that's all. Maybe no more than a slightly leaky fall pipe, and a bit of neglected wall, and you have a perfect tiny garden.
Posted by JolantaNematodes are helpful too.
