Milkweed
The more I learn about the plight of the Monarch's, the more horrified I am. Our vanity is killing off entire species, including the Monarch. The next time you pick up your bottle of weed-killer, consider that what you are doing is not just killing your pesky weeds growing in your driveway but also the milkweed population, on which the Monarch depends not only as a food source but where they lay eggs. Poisoning the world is not the way to go. We love to blame the demon pesticides and the farmer's that use them, but it would make a HUGE difference if homeowners would stop being consumers of this nightmare chemical. We can do this. And it is worth doing.
