Summer in the Garden
Hummingbirds are voracious feeders, especially when they are getting ready for the long trek to their winter grounds. Make sure your feeders are available and change the solution frequently during the hot weather.
Plant of the Month
Purple passion vine
The purple passion vine is an interesting plant with an intriguing-looking flower. Bees love them and can actually get drunk on their nectar. Hummers like them as well. If you want to grow one it is best to keep it in a container because it can be invasive.
Question of the Month
Can You Identify This Interesting Critter?
Actually, it’s not so interesting. The spotted lanternfly is an invasive species that is doing a number on some agricultural crops and trees. Click here for more information.
