Oh! What I wouldn't give to have even 1 daylily club near me. Sighing! Every time I read about the fun DL gardeners are having at their clubs, I am so envious.

I am the lone gardener in my neighborhood. I have a few friends that also garden, but the few that do, do vegetable gardening, not really flower or nectar plant gardening. They have some health problems and have to garden organically to get some of their fresh veggies. (I need to talk to them about which veggies they are growing!)

No one else around here gardens for hummers. Some do plant a nectar plant here and there for the butterflies, but no host plants for the caterpillars, so they don't have the butterflies in their yard that I have because of all the host plants I grow.

I feel like the lone conservationist here in my area. I try to garden organically and provide a habitat in my yard for the wildlife. The down side is that sometimes I also attract wildlife I don't want hanging around ..... like roof rats. Ugh! But good and bad come with that ..... it's the balance of nature.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
