In case you were wondering why we leave all the milkweed every year; this is why. To help preserve the monarch 🦋. We also don't mind the mess that the mulberry tree at the front produces after the birds have been feasting on the berries. The rain will clean it up. The hop trees at the back attract the giant swallow tail 🦋. It would be nice though if the squirrels and chipmunks leave some hazelnuts for us on the trees at the back patio too.
