| Monarch on a milkweed flower |
Some years back, swamp milkweed had taken over a little field near a neighborhood creek. The monarchs loved it! That's where I took this picture.
I want to plant some milkweed seeds in our yard for the butterflies and hummingbirds. The seeds aren't expensive and aren't hard to find. There are several different types. None of them are supposed to be hard to grow, though they do need full sun. It's best to plant them in the fall, in the place that you want them to grow.
I will need to talk sternly to my husband so he will stay away from the milkweed patch with his weedeater, lawn mower, and Roundup sprayer.
