We have set up native beds and pollinator gardens at our local elementary school to encourage bees, butterflies & hummingbirds. Do you happen to know the sort list of what butterflies we're likely to see in Portland? I'd like to provide a list with pictures for the kids, but the closest i can come is butterflies of the North West which includes rural & mountainous bio systems not found in Portland. Thanks! Sue

herbicide shelf life

Hi, We are in the process of removing buckthorn. As we move to the section to be removed for this year, I am wondering if the herbicide left over from last year will still be effective. It is Fertilome stump and brush killer (active ingredient, Triclopyr).. There's no expiration date on it. Does it still work after one year? Two years? Even though we soak the stump thoroughly after it is cut, a little herbicide goes a long ways. We still have quite a bit left in the container. Thanks! Karla McKenzie

Grass and Trees

I have a difficult time with bare spots in my front yard and it doesn't seem to matter how many times I overseed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? My front yard has three mature sweet gum trees. In addition, my front yard gets full sun. I do water daily. When I dig in the yard, the soil is dry and there is a fine web of roots. In the enclosed photo u don't see the bare spots, but you can see where the grass is brown. Thanks in advance, Frank

Chicken gangs or cliques

I have 18 laying hens all free range, oh and one Issa brown that thinks it's a dog..

My question is do hens who free range form little groups of three to as many as five that always hang out together? It sure seems like it even tho I can't tell our chickens apart..
Thanks Curtis
