Still gardening in southwest Missouri but haven't been posting on the forums since Gardenweb fizzled. I used to post in the butterfly forum quite a lot and the Ozarks forum as well as others occasionally. I still look through old threads when I'm searching for information and so glad it's still there.
I am fortunate to have a large yard as well as a few acres that we cut for hay that has a bit of scattered common milkweed and butterfly weed where I've been finding Monarchs. I've planted quite a few host plants and flowers for various butterflies over the years. I've planted a lot of shrubs and trees for the birds too. I never tire of it and am always searching for more information.
Just wanted to say Hello. : )
