[glenn57]

You ain't starting them indoors first?!

nope note the seeds. they do fine!!!!!!!! i'll start peppers I but my mater plants.

[glenn57]

Yesterday while having a few  I put my pepper seeds and some flowers seeds in containers to get started with my garden. Flowers where cleomes and butterfly milkweed seeds

[Rebel SS]

Ooohh....gaily tripping thru the smurfy garden...tra la la la la....

[mike89]

hey Glenn, those butterfly milkweed flowers, do they bring the Monarch around? 

[Rebel SS]

No, Monarch airlines does!  Monarch's main food source is the milkweed. That's why plant lotsa them. Huge decline in Monarch's over the years. Bad deal.

[mike89]

never planted flowers, the wife did all that.  I know wild milkweed works for that, but know nothing about the rest for the monarchs.

[Rebel SS]

Maybe Glenn will give us some Monarch tales...

[glenn57]

Mike, yes they do. The hummingbird like them to. Ya need to babysit them that first year. If they come back year 2 they should make it. Since I planted them I've had more monarchs around. Ali's had there cacoons on the plants. They like hot, lots of sun.  I have the orange ones.

[mike89]

Glenn,

so they are perennial?  that would be nice, the orange one's would match the new H-D!!  are there lots of colors? hummers would be bonus too!

thanks!!

[glenn57]

Yes they are perennial. They have a really large main root. Once there planted, and established if you try to move them they will die! There is a bunch on 94 between Clearwater and Monticello. And along old 371going into Brainard. They are usually in full bloom July and August.

[mike89]

I have seen both of those areas!!  cool and thanks again!

[mike89]

one more question, seeds only or can I buy starters?

[glenn57]

For the butterfly milkweed. I originally bought plants. Think from Jung's. Since then I saved seeds from the biggest plants and started them that way

[mike89]

sweet going to try and see if I can do a green thumb I do think!!!  for the monarchs more than any thing!!

 are planting more or are you losing them??

hoping more!!
