I am glad you stopped by and enjoyed seeing our yard.

I too am amazed that you can not only identify all the plants in your yard but the insects that live there as well. Most city people would have to spend time and money to go to a nature reserve and hear an expert tell them all about the plants and insects but you just have to walk out your door and explore all the native plants and insects for yourself. The short video and article was very nice. I suspect the plants all loved the extra rain we got this year. I'm quite happy to see all the green we still have this late in the year. Most years by the end of August every thing is starting to turn brown but not so much this year. My rain water storage tanks were overflowing all year long. The cool weather was nice but now I see we will be back into the 90s this next week. It's been hard to predict just what the weather is going to do this year. <br /><br /><br />Have a great day enjoying all the native plants and insects.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00571521947867768070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-89811153339535623642015-08-29T21:10:44.211-05:002015-08-29T21:10:44.211-05:00I decided to answer this one here, too, so others ...I decided to answer this one here, too, so others can know that I have been seeing from 4 to 14 monarchs at a time the last couple of weeks. I don't remember how many I have seen other years, because my memory is not good. I'll have to check last year's blog posts to see if I said how many I had been seeing. <br /><br />The reason I know what the long-horned bee is, is because Heather Holm let me know on Facebook. I still would like to be able to tell what the different sized bumble bees are that I see.<br /><br />We were already paying $2.00 a month, while the email said I was on a free plan. I need to check the new gmail Larry set up to see if they've replied to his email.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-28083902636168493742015-08-29T21:05:24.429-05:002015-08-29T21:05:24.429-05:00I just realized Julie in Ohio does not have a link...I just realized Julie in Ohio does not have a link to go to, so Julie, I hope you got the reply.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-90207060993865527702015-08-29T21:03:59.602-05:002015-08-29T21:03:59.602-05:00I usually reply to people on their blog posts, but...I usually reply to people on their blog posts, but thought I'd post here for anyone who follows the comments. I leave almost everything up all winter. When spring comes, I take my time, and work on cleaning up each area as the time and weather permit. Once things are cleaned up, I probably average about 15 minutes a day weeding and cutting back plants I want to get bushier. I don't necessarily make it out every day, so some days it is more than that, but if I did make it out every day, that's about how much time it would probably take me. I love it, though, and do not consider it work, but spending time in the garden.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-10037333264057918082015-08-27T16:25:29.117-05:002015-08-27T16:25:29.117-05:00With all your natives, I imagine you have a whole ...With all your natives, I imagine you have a whole yard full of bees, birds, and butterflies.

I know I have different types of bumblebees here, but I've never figured out what they are. All your photos with insects and butterflies are wonderful--what a haven for wildlife you have created!

Yes, I did have a storage problem several years ago and they asked me for money. Even though I was well within my limit as far as I could tell & several other computer friends as well, they weren't allowing me to post pictures - and like your blog, mine is very photo-intensive. No answers to my queries. My husband convinced me to pony up the $2.50 (canadian $) - and explained that it was less than a cup of coffee a month - and it gave me pleasure, so just go for it. Good luck with the process, hope you can get it sorted quickly. And, most importantly - great reading and pictures in your blog. Was thinking I might start to i.d. my bees and then looked at the work on my desk and thought - perhaps not until the snow flies and I've got a little less on my plate. Although, I'm going out to see if I can find some of my own Long-Horned Bees!Barbarapchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990013417063903768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-14954193261884150692015-08-27T06:55:01.911-05:002015-08-27T06:55:01.911-05:00Fantastic garden!

We are trying to convert much of our garden spaces into native plots.This year has been a good one--lots of rain. Do you do a lot of maintenance, weed pulling, transplanting. We spend so much time policing the garden for unwanted weeds and invasives, I'd like to think the work will get less as the natives grow more thickly.Julie in Ohionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8333330062798605073.post-13598479243962435872015-08-27T06:39:34.916-05:002015-08-27T06:39:34.916-05:00I love all the yellow, but purple is nice, too!
