Common - A. syriaca puts down deep roots so it is not gonna like a pot unless it is a BIG one.

Dave - 90 acres. Wow. What I could do with that. My poor little city lot is almost tapped out. This year I will likely have ~ 200 MW of ~ 12 varieties. Last year I had 110 plants.

I had my first Monarch show up May 29th and last one was Nov. 3rd. Aside from very bad weather days, I saw Monarchs here every day in that period. Started finding Cats in late June and then saw them off and on til late Oct.

I got a late start raising, but I did observe many and watched them die from T flies, etc. OE is not a big problem here. I did raise 2 - released one. Neato. Will raise many more this year.

Very active in all things Monarch related.
