    Monarch Butterfly

    @kcinwv , thanks for the article on Monarchs. I don't think too many of us HERE are spraying for these wild plants. We members of TEG are really not the types to Roundup kill dandelions sprouting in the sidewalks. As for ME, I find smothering my least favorite weeds better than 2 D4'ing them...

    @Dahlia , crate trained already?!?!? :lol: :lol: :lol: I got this at Rural King some 8 years ago, for about $150. Can't touch it for that, Now. It was labeled for Great Danes, and I bought it for Eva. I think I would be going nuts with TWO puppies, if I didn't have this.

    Blight-resistant tomatoes

    I suggest that you look hard at WHERE you have planted them. We, in Central IL have had a terrible drought in 2025, BUT, my Bartlett Pear, which has had fire blight several years in a row, is doing VERY well, bc it's been so dry.
