Above is one of many wheelbarrows of Bamboo Grass I pulled from the gardens. The fence behind the wheelbarrow had the weeds going over the top of it! This pile is from the bed of flowers that we set up dog protection to, only to get taken over by the Bamboo Grass. On Saturday I was along the Eno River and I used to see lots of Jewelweed down there along the river, now mainly bamboo grass.
This coming Sunday the Durham Butterfly Count is going to take place. I'll be leading a team of butterfliers looking for as many butterflies as we can find. Our team will cover our garden and the neighborhood, we'll also visit several wild places like the Flat River Impoundment. Usually the Durham Count has about 5-6 team leaders and the combined teams gets about 60 or so species of butterflies. If you live anywhere near Durham, NC and would like to join us please let me know before Sunday.
