Coincidentally, the title is an apt description of what I’ve been doing lately. 🙂 The Bistro kind of looks past its prime, but there are still flowers, and no shortage of butterflies, bees and MLBs, which is why it exists, so I suppose that’s just fine.

Disobedient plant, doing quite well, especially considering how little rain we’ve got this summer, and how infrequently I actually water it. Bees like this stuff very much!

The giant hyssop is living up to its name! This is not a striking plant, and has only a few flowers at any given time, but the bees are very fond of it, and (apparently) so are MLBs; P saw them nomming the crap out of it. Wouldn’t have thought they’d notice it, but he said that he thinks our MLBs fly around the Bistro with their little fingers on their lips, saying, “Hmmm…what to eat?” He could be right.

VERY flutter-y Spicebush friend on the calibrachoa. Next spring, I think I’ll get all calibrachoa for hanging pots; it’s very popular with butterflies, and (the red, at least) MLBs like it, too. I see more activity on it than I do on the Wave spatoonyas that I usually have. Dunno…we’ll see what I end up doing when spring comes.
