We planted some common milkweed seeds last fall. Some of them came up and are now winding down after their first spring and summer of growth.

Great sowing helper you had there... T

I love milk weed the fragrance of the flowers is wonderful. There might be a long red bug on the plant which is a milkweed bug. Don't kill it.

thanks for sharing jim! are you simply trying to attract them or have you spotted them around? thumbs up

swamp milkweed is much prettier in bloom than the common.... also food for monarchs

Well done Jim. It will be interesting to see the results in the spring. Hope you get the Monarchs to visit. Best wishes Bob.

It's gonna be pretty next year with lots of butterflies on them.

they have a good start!

Great vid Jim, look forward to seeing them progress further!!

Great plant for Butterflies but don't let the seed pod open next year or you will have a garden full of them. the seeds are like Dandelions and the wind spreads them everywhere and there are thousands of seeds to one pod. Cheers.

Great time lapse, im sure they love the mint as a companion plant, mint deters pests !

A good video Jim. Interesting to see their progress and the butterflies.

They have grown so well in a year and its wonderful to see all of the different stages of growth over the months :-) and I bet you will definitely have blooms next year :-) thanks a million for sharing with us Jim and sending you an abundance of love and happiness from right across the emerald Isle for a FANTASTIC afternoon XXXX <3

Hello Jim, nice video my friend.

#StartingANewAllotment 😆 Happy Gardening my friend, Terry.

I love the way you film your plants through the growing season, it shows how the plant grows, a living diary. Take care Graham

Can't wait to see all the beautiful butterflies you will have 😊

it is good to see them getting so well established
