Wimberly Market Days Booth 302 Remodel

Mr. Bob Bishop, our carpenter, did an amazing job on our both remodel located in Wimberly, Texas at Wimberly Market Days just a few miles outside of Wimberly town square on FM 2325.

  Originally, we had hoped to add a layer of fresh paint and repair the leaking roof.  As soon as Bob started to work on booth, we realized that additional remodels were required to complete the job.  The original flooring was covered with carpet and once that was removed, we found out that the plywood was rotted and eaten by termites. In order for Bob to install a new floor, he had to reframe the structure so he could raise and replace the flooring.  He also added some steps outside the booths new  side and rear entrance.

 Bob added trusses to strengthen the roof, removed and resealed all screws on rooftop, built a storage area with a ceiling and two doors.  He then installed two vintage wooden windows in two corners.  He also closed in two walls and added a door to rear wall.  He did a wonderful job and we are grateful for his expertise.  Below are images of the booths remodel and the first market day of 2014.
Wimberly Market Days is held the first Saturday of the month from March through December.  We are located just inside the third entrance at the corner of Lions Way and Wren Way.

  We would love to see you.  Safe Travels and God Bless,  Ory

Sister Joany.
You can also see the new steps into new entrance.




You can see the two doors of new storage area in left rear of booth.


 We decided to build a storage area within one corner of interior booth to house goods rather than transport them to site each month.  The higher end product that will not do well stored in varying temperatures, is transported in each month.  We installed three new doors, two windows and a ceiling within storage area to keep out pests.  Remember, this booth is open to the elements.

Here are a few photos of the March, 2014 sale day!

The Gulf Fritillary Butterfly

Passiflora caerulea is a host plant for the Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae butterfly. The Gulf Fritillary butterfly is native to Texas and can be found fluttering about in the warm Summer sun feeding on floral nectar in your garden. The Passion flower vine is the specific host plant for the female butterfly, Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae .  It can be found at plant nurseries state wide.  The Passionflower has a beautiful bloom and it is quite astounding in its intricacies.  Many artists have delved into its spectacular characteristics.  This specific passionflower is a favorite of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly.  Healthy offspring, caterpillars (larva) can be reared on this specific vine.

The Butterflies are back!

Gulf Fritillary, Agraulis vanillae  nectaring on Eupatorium odoratum.   This butterfly gardening nectar source is a butterfly magnet in the month of October.   Many different species stop by to feed as they make their way south for the winter.  SURPRISE!!! It is a Dyras iulia,  Julia Longwing in Katy, Texas feeding on the mistflower mentioned above. A rare sight for this part of  Southeast Texas . We saw this species last year and this year feeding on the same plant as well as a Heliconius  charitonius, Zebra Longwing also seen last year and this year. And of course, lots of Monarchs and Queens visited in the month of November. Plant mistflower in the fall months.  Once it blooms profusely and the butterflies visit it on their journey the blooms will brown and set seed.  Once this happens, you should cut it back to about 10 to 12 inches above the crown of the root zone.  It will shoot back ...
