Hi folks, I'm just popping in right now, to share this link:

The blog associated with this, The Deep Middle, is one I've followed for a little over a year, I think, though it is based in the Midwest (Nebraska) and different region than mine. Still, the writer (Benjamin Vogt) knows a great deal about native plants and planting for wildlife, specifically for Monarchs. He has become pretty focused on Monarchs and this newsletter shares his latest experiences, which are quite positive for the butterflies! in terms of numbers.
Some great photos and generally good information, so I like to pass the word about his work when I can. Thanks for having a look and for gardening.
