I have finally seen some Gulf Frits, on the Passion Vine of course. Other than that, one Monarch....sigh.

I do have a lot of Black Chinned female hummers though, I have five feeders out right now and I am camera ready.

I am really going to try and make it to the Roundup. I just potted up a bunch of red turk's cap and have been collecting Dutchman's Pipe and milkweed seed to take with me. I hope I will be able to go as I will probably have a job by then and will have to work on Saturdays. I am not even sure I can get all of my Master Gardener hours in for this year.

I attended a MG seminar this weekend on building copper trellises,and ornaments, the cost included a book that is loaded with projects and explains even to someone that has never cut a pipe how to make them. Yes, I know copper is high so ya'll watch your AC's...LOL!!!!!! Name of the book is Trellis Craft by Roger Beebe.

Hope you are all well.
