Hi JANE!!!! I've missed you too...I must give you a call soon. You wrote a post? Which one? I must read it. You're so sweet!!
I can understand waiting to plant considering where you live. When will you start planting do you think?

Anne...your place sounds heavenly and to have a big meadow...sounds so nice. We have aphids on our River Birch trees...they are very annoying. Larry normally sprays for them but we put out baby Praying Mantises and we are hoping they'll take care of the problem.
We have red mites on some mums in our window box and Larry grabbed two mantises and put them on the flower. One is having quite a time having its fill of these little creatures. We don't know where the 2nd one went...hiding in other plants perhaps. It's fun watching these tiny insects.

Good luck with your Lupine..have no idea what that is..do you have a photo?
