Helping Bees and Butterflies

[Bobby Bass]

With all the talk of gloom and doom for bees and now Monarch butterflies we are going to expand some of our gardens to let us plant more flowers. The wife always has hanging baskets everywhere she can find something to hang them from but we are going to add even more flowers for the bees. Come to think of it, it has been awhile since we have seen more then one or two monarch butterflies at a time.

Plant milkweed. It is essential for Monarch butterflies.

Will be planting an area with Asclepias tuberosa and a couple of rows of sunflowers along the Eastern fenceline.
