Tangled Branches: Cultivated
happenings in and around my zone 6b gardens in northern Virginia and in central Virginia

Weather: spectacular! Mostly sunny, cool (low 70s), low humidity.
Birds: I haven't been keeping the bird feeder filled lately as the squirrels are emptying it before the birds get to it. Time to try another squirrel-proof design?
The hummingbird food (flowers) is more or less self-replenishing, as long as I remember to water. I've seen hummingbirds just a couple of times this week, but I haven't spent much time looking either.
Insects: The Japanese beetles are turning some of the cupheas to lace. I don't remember them eating those last year. But I posted some pictures of insects that I like to have around. Four butterflies (different from the ones posted previously) and one dragonfly.
