The milkweed is blooming here. Last year the kids found some Monarch butterfly cocoons on them and they're hoping to get more this year.

Mama, that is great. Someone here sent me some milkweed seeds but they never took. :/ Sure wanted those monarchs to come around.

I tried planting some seeds from one property to the other... they never germinated, but that year mother nature planted a ton on them for me in the chicken yard! We had plenty of monarchs! Hopefully, they will come back up, this year.

Milkweed will attract the Monarchs and there twin the Viceroy. I had to fence off the Milkweed to keep the goats out of it, didnt want sick goats.
