I managed to do the front lawn while Joe was shopping. It's tricky since I had to wend my way around the Milkweed plants. They are precious.
We've one caterpillar left, that I can spot. It fell off another plant, the plant dying as it is done for the season. I'll have to check it today. This plant is right along the sidewalk. Maybe it wasn't prudent to put it right there.
Jeremiah Bullfrog is doing well. I will have to move him to the wetland closer to freeze up. In the meantime, he is a welcome sight.
I went down to the frog pond to check things out. There is no sign of Muskrat. I don't blame them for taking off. They had too many visitors. The pond, however, benefitted from their eating up the native phragmites. Mind you, it is not open, it is covered in frog-bit.
Butch is one visitor.

I do hope some monarchs survive in the milkweeds.

I see the golden rod is out there an that's an indication that fall is approaching.
ReplyDeleteMilkweed is something else I can't make work on the patio. I've tried... The same with butterfly bush. I haven't even tried with goldenrod. I think I just don't have enough space. I enjoy yours vicariously :)
