Grow For Me

After the success of my sunflower garden last year, I’ve decided to expand my garden. ��This year, along with sunflowers, I’ve also decided to grow tomatoes, bell peppers, and milkweed (AKA butterfly weed). ��Tonight, I plotted my tomatoes and bell peppers because they need to grow inside before they’re transplanted outside.

I’m particularly excited about the butterfly weed. ��Monarch butterflies are very close to being put on the endangered list. ��I love monarchs and want to do all I can to help them and raise awareness. ��I’m hoping my butterfly weed is successful in attracting and feeding and nursing them and I encourage others to do the same! ��They’re not seeds you’ll typically find at your neighborhood grocery store, so I ordered 5000 seeds off of Amazon.

I begin planting these seeds outside within the next few weeks. ��It’s still a little cool and early in the season.

Happy gardening!
