Lestv said:Milkweed was such a part of my childhood. I am not sure I could grow it where I live now in NC. I never see Monarchs anymore either which I really miss.
There are so many different types of milkweed, there must be some that grow in NC (I think?).
Unfortunately, the Monarchs are very rare in my yard for the past few years -- especially since the terrible winter of 2013/2014, despite having been plentiful prior to that. Oddly, though, an official "Monarch count" is done on the Stonington Peninsula up here, which is just across the Lake Michigan "bay of Green Bay" from where I am, and the numbers have been up the past couple of years. So, I keep planting more milkweed, in hopes that they will show up here again.
