Congrats Kathy. Another season underway!
Martin landlord since 2003. Currently offering 162 plastic gourds with tunnels, all with Conley II entrances with the Lewis modification. I have 24 Supergourds and the rest are Troyer Horizontals.

- Martin Colony History: 85 pair in 2020. Seems fairly consistent the last few years.
Congratulations Kathy, been watching for this announcement. It is interesting to see that gap on the arrival map in that area of Mo. and down into Ark. This doesn’t look normal to me, but may be common. Hope you have a great season.
