This thread will be for me to share my latest project with you all, turning my families old vegetable garden into a butterflies paradise!
I've already started tilling the dirt and pulling out all the old roots.
Since in the thread talking about peoples favorite non MLP hobbies a lot of people brought up gardening i'm hoping some of you will like following along with this and maybe even have some advice to share.
My main goal is Monarchs since they've proposed to be added as a threatened species.
I've already been trying to learn as much as i can about there needs. It's been very saddening and a little horrifying to learn that the most common milkweed sold for gardens (tropical milkweed) can actually be very dangerous to them so i'm trying to find a local gardening store that sells true common milkweed. (Lowe's sells tropical milkweed mislabelled as common milkweed which is very disappointing) or a good online seller.
This thread will likely be a little slow for the first few mouths while i clean the garden out and get some nice new dirt to get it filled up more, it will hopefully start speeding up as it get warmer and i start getting stuff planted!
