My kids are in LOVE with the swallowtail butterfly caterpillars we found on my dill. 3 are already in chrysalis.
I'm interested in planting more butterfly-friendly plants to see if we can encourage more caterpillars next year (particularly monarchs).
The only seeds I have to trade this year are Chinese Wisteria, which I don't know that many will want--it is an invasive plant and needs a LOT of maintenance. I did have Black Eyed Susan and some other natives, but my 3 year olds got the envelopes and opened them all!
I'm willing to swap something else... perhaps a back issue of Herb magazine or Mother Earth News?? I'd be willing to send a couple or postage stamps or something else of value (unless that's not allowed???? I don't know that rules.)
Hi Urbgarden. I have many Butterfly Weeds growing and lots of Monarch butterflies. The pods have not ripened yet but would be glad to send some to you when they are ready. Address please. Kathy
Urb, do you only want flowers? You have offers for butterfly weed so I'll skip it. But I have parsley (which they love) and other butterfly-attractor herbs.
