Planting A Butterfly Garden - Wisconsin Garden Video Blog 682
Tips, Tricks
See More Garden Goodies: http://www.WisconsinGarden.com - - - Today we are planting a butterfly garden in a section of our front yard berm. While we have thousands of flowers growing on our little half-acre property here in Brookfield, Wisconsin, we wanted to dedicate an area close to where common milkweed naturally grows. We’ve also added Swamp milkweed and orange Butterfly Weed seeds plus Wildflower Butterfly and Hummingbird Mix and Wildflower Aromatic Mix from Encap, a Wisconsin based Seed Company. We scattered them generously with the intent to have a dense area for a dramatic roadside display. We look forward to encouraging many pollinators including butterflies and hummingbirds to our Wisconsin Garden along their journey through our collective lives. – P.S. “Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women in the World."

can you please tell me if you filmed a follow up video to this one? So we can see how your seeds worked out? I have tried this method before, unsuccessfully ... but maybe because the area I used is prone to weeds and I was plucking new plants and not actual weeds? Ooops! But I would love to see a link if you have a follow up video. Thank you!

Try growing Gaillardia next year from seed. They are so easy and the look best if you plant a lot, so buy 2 or 3 packets.

Loving your videos! I live on the UK and moved out of my parents house and into my own home for the first time last year and I am currently doing up my own garden. I have always loved gardening so, although I have a small space for gardening in in desperate to make the most famous what I've got!

Carried away with seeds?!? Say it ain't so. lol!! And my wife thought I'm bad! (Still loling) But then again, you have the yard to put them all in. It's going to be awesomely beautiful!
I want to see Richard dancing...no, not nude, just dancing as he plants.
I first heard of National Nude Gardening Day from England. A naked lady gardener was videoed by her hubby as she gardened...in her greenhouse. And only from the shoulders up. Funny thing, the video kept starting & stopping and she was getting awfully flushed looking on the restarts. It was funny to watch. Wonder whatever happened to that channel?
BTW, Happy Mothers Day, Lynn. -
Started my Megellan Zinnias the other day..popping up already....should have mentioned that a heating cable under the seed flats make the germination so much faster!.....Looks like it's gonna be a fantastic summer for us this year!

When you said it was hot I thought to myself "Oh man it must have been hot" then you said it was almost 80 and I smiled and giggled. Oh I wish 80 was considered hot here. ☺ Then again you get snow and we do not. I wouldn't be able to handle your cold weather. I can't wait to see your flowers growing in the videos to come. I also planted sunflowers in my garden and I can't wait to see your variety of sunflowers grow.

My first Orange Milkweed came from that same Botanical Interests packet. They're my favorite. Tripled the number of them this year because they're such a perfect plant. Swamp Milkweed is really great too, but I haven't seen mine flower yet. I come across them in the wild sometimes, and their flower looks amazing! Good luck with everything!

That comment about nude gardening day was hilarious! Lol! I had to pause the video to comment. Now.back to watching! Lol

I was excited to finally see some monarchs in the Milwaukee area this past weekend. Glad the warmer weather has finally arrived.
