We used to have lots of goldfinches here; not much anymore. They used to 
swarm my Agastache.

Hi Kitty, 
Well done on the many plantings you did. I can’t ‘get down’ these days due to 
Osteoarthritis And Rhematoid.  I have pleasure these days watching Goldfinch 
come to the feeder after waiting for their return.
its many days since it rained, brilliant hot sunshine though so best not to 
grumble.
I plant when knees allow.
