Your property is beautiful 🤩 I just subscribed, I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦
Looking good, the butterflies are gonna really love that dill as a host plant. I hope it bounces back from being so dry. Happy growing! 😍
Yes the dill bounced back and has actually about tripled in size and is about to flower. I haven't found any caterpillars on it or the milkweed yet but I do have a lot of swallowtails and monarchs flying around my garden daily. Thanks for the nice words and happy growing to you also. Have a great day
Your flower gardens are so Pretty...
I never heard of common milkweed.. But your plants look super healthy and they get really tall... They will be pretty.
In your containers I saw some really Pretty reddish grasses.
What are they called and are they a perennial or annual?
In my backyard I would like to plant some tall grass plants with the plumes.. I think they are so Pretty.
Great video and Thank You for sharing.
Have a great evening..
I do truly appreciate the kind words Tammy, I'm starting to feel better about doing a RUclips channel. Yeah when I took the caterpillars to the garden center I mentioned, the ladies that are taking care of the caterpillar motel where so excitingly happy that they gave me the dill and common milkweed in hopes of more caterpillars. Dill is food for the swallowtail caterpillar and milkweed is food source for monarch caterpillar. The grass in the pot is an annual here in my zone 6 garden called purple fountain grass. However I found a perennial grass called Blackhawks Big Bluestem Grass that I have in my garden and I love it. It starts are blue-green, as the summer progresses it turns shades of purple and by fall is turning so dark it is almost black, hence the name blackhawk big blue. You may want to investigate it. Thank you for commenting and have a great day as well.
