I hope that you all in the rest of the state are safe after the huge storm
this weekend.
I can see by the news that some parts of CT are completely without power
still.
We fared well here in SECT mostly rain...very fortunate.
While cleaning the garden Sunday, I saw a Cabbage white and a Sulphur. Odd
that they lasted through the cold and I worried about what they would
nectar on. Only a few Verbena Bonariensis are surviving and the White Buttefly
bush was severly frosted this morning.
I still have 33 pipevine caterpillars in my bedroom, and I hope I can
continue to to protect the Pipevine plant so I can provide enough food for them
to pupate.
I also have 10 Monarch Chrysalises from very late eggs. If they eclose they
will emerge into quite an unfriendly environment.
