I’ve been checking my milkweed garden and the plants are just beginning to emerge. The tallest being only an inch. We’ve had a LOT of rain this week but the sun is expected out for a few days. I think things will really begin to pop at that time. No sign of monarchs yet. I follow their progress and check the site several times a week. I did see they’ve been sighted in TN.

The Oldham County Conservation District – where I work – has agreed to put in a milkweed bed on a local farmers land. It will be a win/win for everyone I hope. I’ve planted several hundred seeds but only 1 has emerged so far. I’m hoping to have enough to share with residents in the county in hopes of making Oldham County, KY a monarch haven!
