My flower garden is doing great but the butterflies has been noticeably absent. All the rain and cool temperatures have kept all of the insect populations down here in Michigan lately. I have planted a ton of native milkweed in the backyard and I am starting other plants to place in other areas to help the monarch butterflies here in my area. I have a small urban yard but in years past it has been a way station for tons of butterflies and small migratory birds. It’s not much but I enjoy the yard in the nice weather even though it’s a lot of work. Here’s a pic of the new crop of milkweed seedlings ready to be divided and planted soon.
