Most years, the flowers would be kaput by now, or at least showing damage from frost. I'm glad you got a little rain, and here's hoping for more in the weeks ahead.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-57289068644724915352016-10-25T22:56:42.426-05:002016-10-25T22:56:42.426-05:00Yes, all it takes is one killing frost.

I'm not seeing many pollinators, though.

Usually, our Octobers are cool and dry. It feels like we're living in the south. But we're supposed to cool down later this week and get a little break with the rain.

I haven't seen any Monarch butterflies in my garden since I released the ones I raised from the egg stage. I think the garden was too shady this year with all the extra precipitation in August and September. But, yes, in a "normal" year there are tons of pollinators around.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-66106719091125308582016-10-17T21:49:44.959-05:002016-10-17T21:49:44.959-05:00Thanks, Endah!
