		<description><![CDATA[This blog has been slowly withering over the last few months, my posts infrequent and lacking oomph. I have neglected Zone 3b and some of other blogs in about the same proportion as I have been trying to develop in other areas. This is my last post, but I&#8217;ll let the blog remain until stray [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=zone3b.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7133531&amp;post=1604&amp;subd=zone3b&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the better plants for attracting pollinators and nectaring insects is the Blazingstar or Gayfeather, Liatris spicata. Even grasshoppers seem to like &#8216;em. A native alternative for Alberta gardens would be the Dotted Blazingstar,  Liatris punctata.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=zone3b.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7133531&amp;post=1587&amp;subd=zone3b&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

H. F. Young requires a [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=zone3b.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7133531&amp;post=1573&amp;subd=zone3b&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

It is a good thing for every gardener to remember, so they don&#8217;t begin to behave like this: Time to Aim the Big Guns on Mosquitoes. A general blanket spraying of a persistent insecticide like Doktor Doom will kill bees and every other insect it comes in contact with, whether or not [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=zone3b.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7133531&amp;post=1565&amp;subd=zone3b&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
