Maybe we can coordinate some visits to these places in the spring and/or summer months.
Sounds like a great idea!
So proud of myself--I took advantage of the gorgeous weather today to get out in the garden and do some cutting back. Found *6* praying mantis egg cases!! Left them of course --although somehow they never feast on the European paper wasps the way I wish they would--it's always the butterflies and their caterpillars.
Anyway, happy to share the egg cases with other MAG-ers if anyone is interested!
Also found *lots* of early spring growth. In addition to the daffodils, crocuses, hyacinth, and allium shooting up, I discovered I have lots of monarda, yarrow, sedum, sage, penstemon, heuchera and other things putting out new basal growth! The lilac buds are also fat and pink and look like they want to open soon. And I have some dianthus in bloom as well as some borage, parsley, and lots of fennel that are still green and growing. The yard seems to think it's late March!!
What if it never really gets very cold this winter?
