I found once the roots get established that they're very hearty. Fingers crossed for your white! The butterfly weed we sell at my work is looking very crummy right now in pots. But The roots are still looking good. May have to take a few more home! I love it planted out by my barn.

I wonder if it's one of those plants that just needs a year to live in its new surroundings. Mine (asclepias tuberosa) didn't do much the first year I planted them either. After two years, this year they were absolutely fantastic. I have zinnias, sunflowers, moonflowers, and Mexican torch and...

Fantastic!

Yes they do. Or they kick it out if they aren't interested. They were so funny. I came home yesterday and checked the boxes for eggs and only one box out of six was used. Only 6 eggs hmmm I have 22 laying hens. Looked around and found 9 more in a pile in the corner under the roosting bars...

Haven't done much in the garden lately, lots of reasons. Instead of tending to the garden I cleaned out my nesting boxes and cut back herbs and flowers for the girls to enjoy tomorrow while they lay me beautiful eggs. I guess that counts as deadheading right?

Roasting turn ups is the only way that I found that I like them. But after reading this lengthy discussion about turnips I am almost convinced to try growing them to expand my palate

I bet that was one happy kitty!

Can you ever really say that your garden produces too well? I understand though. It's exciting and overwhelming when everything comes in at once and trying to figure out how to find time and what to do with everything. I shared a lot of squash and zucchini and tomatoes already with neighbors...

Yum!! Our corn struggle to fill out this year. I will be doing some research over the winter for next year! I love homegrown sweet corn!

Thanks

Thank you. I'm not sure what I was thinking. I appreciate you being so polite. I knew something was off. I shoulda waited to post. The hybrids produce very little or no pollen. Not sterile pollen. They aren't mules. Thank you @seedcorn

That patch of flowers is absolutely gorgeous!

I absolutely love growing the zinnias! Now that I found them in my garden will never be without them. The pollinators absolutely love them.

You'll want to plant things that aren't hybrids where the pollen is sterile. It's like feeding the pollinators Diet Coke. Tastes good (well maybe for some) but no nutritional value. You'll also want to plant things that have overlapping blooming periods or staggered blooming periods so there...
