Yes, well done David. That's going to be an awesome project going forward. I sure hope you have some sort of irrigation system for those plants you're pictured planting - or I forsee a lot of schlepping of watering cans to keep those little plants alive until they establish . .. Even a temporary irrigation system with some poly tubing and micro sprinklers would make a huge difference to get them going, and not cost a lot.

Ann, you're right it was hilarious trying to herd the butterflies. They really wanted to fly up to the top of the cage and they needed to fly down to get out the door . . . hence the Penta cuttings were used as bait on the walkway outside the door. I really don't know if that was what finally worked, but they both did fly back out again. I never realized how many spider webs I had cultivated up in the top of the cage either . .. . poor spiders had a rough day, and some of them went swimming, too.
