@DavidLMO Thank you! My Question is for October if I see caterpillars the last week of October, one year it was the first of Nov. Are they wanting me to cut before caterpillars? Like October first? Do I immediately cut when I no longer have caterpillars? Do I cut two weeks after I no longer see caterpillars? I guess my confusion is that all this talk of cutting is exactly when the Monarchs visit and sometimes they are a week later. I am not a butterfly expert, just want to help. I hope I am explaining where my confusion is coming. One report made it sound like they did not want Monarchs laying on tropical milkweed at all. May all your efforts be blessed.
