We had quite a bit of milkweed in the pasture, and obviously the Monarchs found it. We have small, young Monarchs on the flowers and flitting...
Happy Thanksgiving to you, Netty, and to all our Canadian members. We "down south" are happy that you are our neighbors!
Catdaddy, I have seen the same with tomatoes. The spring/early summer tomatoes are larger, the fall crop has smaller fruit. Peppers and tomatoes...
