Several people near Scottsville reported seeding a black bear this week. Seems that Sue Neal's grandmother's prediction of bear returning to Allen County has come true. Now if it can just stay alive with all the "shoot first" hunters we have in the county.
I finished the first planting of our pollinator garden at school today (1300 square feet). Had to feel in with some state fair zinnias since I ran out of perennial native plants. I will fill in with some perennials later.
The common milkweed is coming into bloom on our farm ... not many butterflies yet but, they are beautiful.
Our butterfly weed plants have been blooming for over several days drawing an assortment of pollinators ... At least one is more red than orange.
A compass plant I planted last year has two big leaves ... they are slow growers that can live to be 100 years old.
Our coneflowers are just starting to bloom ... a fibonacci beauty! 55 and 34 spirals ...
