These stems used to be one of my scarlet milkweed plants. Seeing the plants like this makes me nervous that we won't be able to feed all the caterpillars. I hate to say it, but I think we are going to have to let mother nature take it's course since I don't have enough plants for all the babies.
We put down more seeds in hopes that this will help accommodate the extra activity. Isabel and I will also be planting some seeds in her friends gardens so the Monarchs can visit them too.Our activity in the garden has increased a lot since the end of April. Every time I see a butterfly in the garden I am happy and sad all at once.
My plants need time to recover!
This is an impressive undertaking...stick with it!!
