After posting about potting up my seedlings, I decided to do a comparison of those I put in the ground and those I had left overcrowded (and recently potted up from the original container).
I am hoping this is swamp milkweed, but I will be happy if it is common milkweed--I want both (but I don't have swamp milkweed in the yard yet--I really have to do a better job of labeling).
Getting them in the ground sooner, or direct sowing should be my goal--but having robust potted plants to add as needed is great, too. I am hoping potting them up will give me good results. I need to prepare more ground for planting
Recreating a native habitat has been a dream of mine since I was about 18. It only took me 20 years, but I finally have two acres of land in the country with which to work (and play). My goal is to document the improvements I make to the property: restoring habitat & attracting birds and butterflies in addition to other wildlife.
Just the back yard!? Nah, I want the front and side yards landscaped in natives too.
