Spring is here!

Filed under: Uncategorized — Butterflygirl @ 1:35 pm

Its been here for a few days now, but I’m just starting to feel it.

I saw a couple of butterflies today, a white and a sulfur – I couldn’t tell the species. At first I thought it was a Little sulfur (Eurema lisa) then realized it was too big. Couldn’t get any closer.

Daffodils and forsythias aren’t native to this region and have no benefit for butterflies but I still like them. They are so pretty this time of year:

A big thing I’m trying to figure out for this year is the puppy. We have our yard fenced in from her – but now my gardens aren’t safe! I’m afraid she will trample a caterpillar or break off some plant just as its coming up. I need to find some cheap way to enclose the garden area that doesn’t look bad.

    The Butterfly Garden by Mathew Tekulsky is a must read for all those who want to bring beautiful butterflies to their garden and backyard.

    Hi!

    I am a butterfly gardener too (and I also worry about my pets trampling my bugs).

    I look forward to visiting here this season.

    Good luck.
