  1. This is one of my first season milkweeds. I foraged the seeds from a nearby plant and got them going indoors and everything. This one in particular got eaten to the ground twice. Both times, it came back as twice as many plants.

    One thing I've been learning this year through gardening is that plants are incredible. They have their limits (our sunflowers didn't recover from being repeatedly chomped), but some of them really spring back.

    A few years ago, I put some swamp #MilkWeed in a little area around our mailbox. Bees love it. Butterflies visit it. But last year we had multiple monarch caterpillars in it.

    This morning, our video doorbell was blocked by something. It was a monarch caterpillar hanging out on the camera. When I put it in the milkweed, I found them all over. We've got a chrysalis on our house and 4 more making them. There's at least 15 'pillars in the little ~3'x3' patch.

    Swamp Milkweed. The low end of one hayfield doesn’t get hayed. And with no cows grazing, it gets pretty wild. Here, I’m trying to mow along a fence that’s getting lost in the vegetation. The swamp milkweed, though, doesn’t get mowed 🙂
