Hummingbirds!
Thank you to those who joined Hummingbirds, a free Zoom presentation on Thursday, May 19. If you were not able to attend, you can now enjoy the full recording!
Putting out hummingbird feeders isn’t necessary to attract and keep hummingbirds coming back to your garden. Understanding the true needs and behaviors of these tiny winged gems is important for a proper hummingbird garden. Join Peggy Doty, University of Illinois Extension Educator, to learn how to capture their attention early so you can enjoy hummingbirds all season.
This program was made possible by the Pauline J. and John R. Cook Lecture Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois.

    Some of your myths seem to revolve around people confusing paw paws and persimmons. American persimmons are better after a frost and do have male and female trees. Whereas Asian persimmons are sweet without a frost (like paw paws). You included confusion with papayas, but not with persimmons. That distinction is important. I very much dislike being misquoted when the person misquoting me is confusing native trees that begin with a "p" and videos like yours might easily help clear such things up. Otherwise it was very informative.

    Would it be correct to say that even specifically cultivated names (like Peterson's Susquehanna, Shenandoah) seedlings do not grow true to type? Is every single tree which is producing fruit that tastes as expected, grafted? How are the genetics passed on enough to name a particular type? Sorry I'm not quite understanding this concept, and would like clarification on what I might expect from my several differently named seedlings. It's going to take many years to figure out just by growing and tasting.

MULCH instantly begins manufactures fertile soil only my system mulch 75% MORE area of soil. Gardening xplained: VERY SIMPLE. Amounts2 3,000lb mulch per 2,000 sq. Ft. poor soil (&manure fall ONLY). Soil beneath will persist fertile several years, ratio mulch will decrease drammatically thereafter. Keep mulched that simple. NEVER garden. No such thing. Think build soil.

Dissolve ANY green weeds in rainwater only add 10 to 1 plants (= Makes fulvic acid that hydrates plant celluler level& INSTANTLY fluffs soil) NEVER use Satans poisonous tapwater, &, Delete money in all u do. Note: Humic acids are used ahead of oil rig drill bits as it INSTANTLY fluffs, tills, aerate soil. Hence mulching soil is nearly immediate in generating fertile soil. Sorry college grads. Gardening is easy. Colleges are Satans kidz. World leading method: Wrap bottom 10" high x 8" diameter chicken wire lined stem with leaves & filled with dirt. Thus the stem will sprout more roots higher up. My vases CONCENTRATE CONFINE THE ROOTS (vertically). So important so they dont spread sideways 4' which is brutal on your water bill. World champion tomatoe growers can skyrocket their tomatoe root systems by enclosing 2' stem with vases fill with loose dirt. Quality not quantity. 1monster garden plant can squash 25 typical plants with fruit of vastly superiour quality.

    In an age where designing and moving genes seem so easy as to be trite and the value of life becomes only worth what the NY Stock Market says it is, the idea of devoting one's life to understanding a plant and its development in real time is stunning. Yes, if remotely possible a decent living should be made. Just as important the ecosystem should be living and respected, perhaps even healthier and vital for your having interacted with it. What Neal has accomplished is truly wonderful and will echo through the years and perhaps centuries. I deeply appreciate what he has done.

    Pawpaws grow well in Southern Ontario. I heard of someone growing Pawpaws in Ottawa, Ontario and Brandon Manitoba. But you have to know what you are doing. You have to have a tiny micro climate. And good soil and good management. Join facebook groups and ask questions, to get best practices for these extreme environments.

I think it is good to grow from local seedstock when growing on the edge of growing zones. Plant lots and keep saving seeds from the ones that survive; this should help build local resiliency.
