I’ve converted the bulk of the lawn on my lot back to prairie/woodland opening, and I feel like everyone is much more chill. I now have wasps, yellowjackets, and of course bees amicably buzzing around, in addition to the WASPs telling me how much they like it.

i tried planting butterfly weed from seed, starting indoors and outdoors, this year but they didn't grow. why is growing a weed so hard kitty-cri

i havent really planted from seed too much, i usually get native plants from a few local places that have markets a couple times a year. did they at least sprout inside or not even that? My butterfly weed already has two monarch caterpillars on it, im so proud.

[–] whatnots@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

nope, they didn't even germinate! i also planted a few lambs ear seeds and they're thriving with such big leaves now. i'm either doing something very wrong or it's a bad batch of seeds lol.

you should definitely feel proud, monarchs need all the help they can get. the caterpillars always look so cute, i hope they grow happy and strong!
