"Gosh, Cathy...I have 2 magnolias that I would pack up and ship to you if only I could! I guess I must be the only person in the world, (or at least the Deep South) who doesn't love magnolias. I know...it's not very popular to single out a…"

"I agree with Melody...little by little, bit by bit. We just started last year, so it seemed like a huge undertaking. We bought quite a few annuals, but mostly only those that we were able to get in the big contractor/landscaper flats, so, we got a…"

"You don't have to do everything at once you know. Start small and make it bigger each year. Also, beware of Walmart plants that have been in their care more than a day or two. Those folks don't really like plants and they get no care…"

Slow Going

Well, I went to the Garden Factory ( NYS largest garden center) last night and did some pricing out for the plants I wanted in the butterfly garden and host plants for the caterpillars. I'm excited about getting started, I have some things to do over the next week, so I'll probably start with the actual weeding in about a week, so....I'm slow going but once I start working I work. Hopefully I'll get it done in a week, but with my pain I don't know if it can get done! But I'll get it done in…See More

"Don't worry Contessa I won't. I'm going to look in my Birds and Bloom book later, I'll find some butterlies in your area and I can let you know what host plants are good! That will attract the butterflies to your garden to lay…"

Spring Fever

I see all the trees popping out leaves and blossoms all around me. I'm getting the spring fever bug! I would really like to start ripping out the weeds for my garden to be! That might start next week, I will take before pictures, so everyone can see this mess! But I'm thinking I'm going to start next week so that I can get it ready for the planting. My niece and nephew are really excited to start a butterfly garden. I still have to plot out the flowers, and host plants, I want a lot of…See More

"I'll take a before picture!!! Wait until you see that! It used to be a rose garden, when I was well and full of energy, I ripped out all the roses and didn't end up getting the full root, some have some back. I planted a perenial garden…"

Cathy Belair replied to Karen Koeberlein's discussion Butterfly bush in the group Butterfly gardening
"I used to work at a garden center. A customer returned a plant that looked dead and got a new one. So I took the old one home with me (for free!! awesome perk, this happened a lot). But it looked like just sticks. So I gave it some water and some…"

All of the pictures are of flowering trees in the yard, or some tulips in my dad's yard. The picture that has the weeds all around it and the yellow things coming down from the telephone pole is going to be my butterfly garden, I wanted to take a before picture, so you can see what I'm up against, I'll keep taking progress pics and posting them.
