They may be celebrating Fat Tuesday in New Orleans, Laissez Bon Ton Roule style, but up in the Butterfly Garden at Alpine Groves Park in Switzerland, Florida the Garden Club of Switzerland was getting ready for spring Laissez Fumier Roule style. Instead of letting the Bon Ton (good times) roll, they were letting the Fumier (manure) roll. Don't wrinkle up your nose! The fertilizer was properly cured; and cured of any unpleasant odor... Yes, OUR butterflies are WORTH IT.
Despite the chill and the grey threats of rain, Mother Nature was on their side; she held off her spring showers.
And so the gardeners hauled, and pitched and wheeled their treasure to
the appointed spots - the roots of the waiting plants. We may smirk
about manure, but it's the original Black Gold, the all-natural 100%
organic - often imitated, but never duplicated (except by horses and
other herbivores) "good stuff". You could almost see the buds pop for
joy!
