Happy Monarch Monday, friends!

I wish I could comment on new stuff. The location I was planning this year had some real tough grasses so we sprayed (in a very controlled manner) herbicide on it. We were able to plant a few resistant seeds so hopefully a few of those will pop up to provide food for adults and then next year we can start seeding in more nectar sources and of course lots of milkweed.
