The Butterfly Puddling Station: Give Them What Flowers Cannot
Butterflies visit your garden for nectar but they also need dissolved minerals and salts that flowers do not provide. Without a mineral source, they resort to landing on sweat, mud puddles in driveways, or animal waste. A simple puddling station in your flower bed gives them everything they need in one safe spot.

WHY BUTTERFLIES NEED MORE THAN NECTAR:
Nectar provides energy but not the sodium and amino acids butterflies need for reproduction and flight muscle function. Males especially seek out mineral sources in a behavior called puddling. A garden full of flowers but no mineral access is only half a habitat.

THE PUDDLING STATION SOLUTION:
A shallow dish filled with coarse sand and a pinch of sea salt, kept constantly damp, mimics the natural mineral-rich mud puddles butterflies seek in the wild. They land on the wet sand surface and probe with their proboscis to draw up dissolved minerals without any drowning risk.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
A terracotta saucer or shallow ceramic dish, coarse builder's sand or river sand, a pinch of natural sea salt, and a few flat pebbles for extra landing spots.

HOW TO SET IT UP:
Fill the saucer with sand to about half an inch from the rim. Scatter a small pinch of sea salt across the surface and mix it lightly into the top layer. Press a few flat stones into the sand so their tops sit just above the surface. Add water until the sand is saturated but not pooling — the surface should glisten, not flood.

LOCATION:
Set it directly among flowers in full sun where butterflies are already active. Near zinnias, milkweed, lantana, or coneflowers works well. Butterflies are visual and will find it faster when it sits inside their existing flight path rather than off to the side.

MAINTENANCE:
Add water daily in hot weather to keep the sand damp. Replace the sand and salt once a month. Rinse the dish if algae builds up. The station works from spring through first frost.

Coffee grounds can help some plants, but they are not for everything ☕ A few tips I’d follow:
🌹 Use spent grounds, not fresh coffee grounds
🌿 Add a thin layer or mix them into compost first
🫐 Acid-loving plants like blueberries, azaleas, and hydrangeas may benefit
🚫 Avoid using too much around succulents, cacti, lavender, and rosemary
🌱 Too much can compact the soil or bother roots
Coffee grounds are useful, but only in small amounts. Compost first if you want the safest option.

July dividing needs extra care ☀️ A few tips I follow:
🌿 Divide in the evening or on a cloudy day
💧 Water the plant well the day before
🌸 Irises and daylilies can usually handle division after blooming
🌼 Shasta daisies and yarrow should be replanted quickly
🐝 Bee balm spreads fast, so division helps keep it controlled
🍃 Lamb’s ear needs good drainage after moving
I avoid dividing during a heat wave because even tough plants need time to recover.

Our post last evening about the upcoming dangerous heat this week was met with a bunch of responses accusing us of "fear-mongering" and "click bait" ...and making statements like "it's called Summer" or "it's July this is normal".

Now we really don't care what people may think, but one thing a professional weather consulting firm is going to do is defend themselves with you know... actual facts. So no, this is NOT NORMAL to see 100°F+ air temperatures as you can clearly see, nor heat index values as high as 110°F. The messaging of the dangers of the heat/humidity combo is certainly warranted. We're sorry to disappoint the few ignorant commenters, but we bring receipts.
