Just a thought...
with so much of them being killed off by
overspray from the fields around here i let
them run around the edges of the gardens and
ditches here when they show up.
we don't see monarch butterflies that often
any longer, but at least if they do show up
they have food.
Good on ya!
What do they eat? Something other than milkweed?
Your climate being, uh, "continental", when do they show up & when do they leave -- if you've had a chance to notice?
