Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
"Si hortum in bibliotheca habes, nihil deerit." [“If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need.”] -- Marcus Tullius Cicero in Ad Familiares IX, 4, to Varro. 46 BCE
We've been having a few bumper years of Ash cicadas (Cicada orni), so much the local population of Golden orioles has exploded (they are migratory, but they tend to return where they find abundant food sources). I have a huge ash in my garden and in the early Summer it's literally covered in exuvia. The noise is defeaning well into August.
I hope we'll be let out of the house this Summer because the thought of months of lockdown (it will be five on Easter sharp) and those damn flying critters making a racket is unbearable.
I am just another white boy who thinks he can play the Blues.
Here we've got Broods 13 and 19, but they'll only overlap in a small area in central Illinois, so at best all I'll get is Brood 13 plus and annuals. I actually love to hear them sing in the summer, but haven't heard anything yet.
I don't mind the noise, just don't like bugs getting on me.
