We have an area that borders the woods just outside the fence in this photo that's our milkweed area. Similar to what @mreavesposted.
This year we planted Mexican Sunflowers in the box adjacent to that area and we've been flush with polinators including monarchs, bees, hummingbirds and something I didn't know existed: hummingbird moths (second photo).
I highly recommend these sunflowers for any pollinator garden.
I wonder if the increase is pandemic-related. More inexperienced people taking to outdoor activities - thinking specifically things like kayaking and paddleboarding.
For sure. I am not undermining the awfulness of the tragedy... People have to use common sense. Being in a car, sitting still, under 40ft white pines during a storm, no matter how severe, is not a good idea. Maybe they couldn't go anywhere else.
If you light off fireworks in a residential neighborhood (while there are public displays within 2 miles in any and all directions) you are a tw*t of the highest order.
Or a veteran. F*ck.
Thanks. The one Eaves posted was around $175 which is about what I'm looking to spend. My primary use case is temps, as well as rain when I'm out of town. Wind is a bonus for the few events we get a year. NWS hooked me up with the snow gear for PWM obs, covered there.
Thanks for the rec!
