It took a couple trips to the ER and a trip to specialist. Things I used to eat all the time during our travels elsewhere in the world and even here before I left almost 10 years earlier made me ill. We came out here 7 years ago, when we returned from the better part of 10 years as peripatetic aristotelian nomads, for my husband's post docs. Wildflower Farm, is a small New England homestead, B&B and AirBnB, in the Baystate. The Humming Bird Herb Garden, is a sanctuary for me. In the tree in back in the background, there is a more standard seed filled feeder. If you could follow the pole in the picture below to the top you would find a humming bird feeder. But it is beautiful outside… A lushness has returned to the trees and the green is overwhelming. Walking outside today it was as if you were breathing water, or rather choking on it. The air has been heavy lately with wet… Kind of crushing the way it lays on your chest. Stay safe guys and fight! Don’t ever give up. Sorry, what do you expect from a New England hippy farmer that grew up in a Buddhist commune, born to a mother who marched for women’s lib and a father who marched for civil rights? NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! My heart is on the streets of Minnesota, tonight. It is time to make racism a thing of the past. It is a disgrace in 2020 that we are having race riots in our streets. Before I say one more thing and transport you to Wildflower, here with me for a moment… Let me just say… NO JUSTICE NO PEACE! Black Lives Matter.

Want to learn more about gardening with hummingbirds? So what if aphids are attacking perennials or annuals? Well the hummingbirds will eat those pests too. But you can also cut down the worst aphid damage to help the plant recover & regrow. Moreover when that new growth is most tender and appealing to aphids. Well, that’s when baby hummingbirds are in the nest. And those babies need more bug protein than sugar water to grow. That means momma hummingbird is eating aphids faster than ever at this time of year. And when she does, the tree will quickly bounce back from an aphid attack. Let’s say you have a very tall tree. And aphids like to eat the tender new growth at the top of the tree. So there’s no way you could spray water to get rid of those pests. And the same goes for trying to use a ‘cide to eradicate them. However, hummingbirds can easily fly to the top of your tree. And they’ll eat up those aphids fast. Here’s an example of why letting hummingbirds eat your aphids is good… And, this is especially true when hummingbirds come to the rescue and eat your aphds.
