[Ctleps-l] CBA Walden walk on Saturday July 5

[Janis LaPointe]

In Enfield, in a brush area behind the Rotary Club vegetable garden at the Enfield Senior center, there is lots of milkweed, wild daisy, vetch, and wild flowers I remember from childhood, but no Monarchs yet.    I've spoken with the Garden Club members about preserving this area and the milkweed, that they pull out of the vegetable and flower gardens.    They are very receptive to having a butterfly area and I will continue to pursue this.      Garden Club members love gardening and are eager to have projects.   The vegetables and fruits are harvested and given to the local food kitchen and pantry for those in need.

What a wonderful list of  sightings but only one monarch. My butterfly garden with lots of Milkweed usually is filled with monarchs and I have only seen one so far. and no eggs. My nursery has only been occupied with Black Swallowtail cats and one Spicebush. Two years ago I raised so many Monarchs, last year none. What will this year bring? Usually when my milkweed blooms the Monarchs arrive but the blooms are almost past and no visitors.I thought I would see some kind of recovery this summer but no such luck. Such a loss. Ruthie
