That's very nice of you, I'm sure it'll turn out beautiful. Milkweed for the monarchs?

Outstanding! So much better than pumping iron. Better for your body and the planet!

@Eral66, But of course! I don't need to plant it though, it's so common here that I just need to not weed it out. I am planting some more unusual varieties, though. And I've had a lot of them in my garden this year, including some chrysalis.

This is so awesome, and I look forward to seeing your progress! I have a little community garden plot, and it is so good to just be interacting with the natural world in this way. This exercise feels extra good for the soul to me! <3

Yes indeed. I call it vitamin G (for gardening). I always feel better when I've been in the garden!

Thanks Rguarino, I really do have lots of it just growing in my yard. The site is amazing though. It's worth going to and reading up. The plight of the monarchs and all other insects is truly alarming!

One of my favorites is Queen Anne’s Lace … I live in Brockton MA. I see it continually on my neighborhood walks. Actually think I see it in the background. Special project you’ve got going there.

What a wonderful project! That is my kind of exercise. At 70 I still play well in the dirt too.
