Is that your butterfly garden!? WOW Absolutely gorgeous. Would love to see a tour of the garden🥰💚

Luv your channel! You are a sweatheart. Praise our Jesus.

Such helpful information! Thank you for sharing! Lovely that you have a few options in your yard for the monarch! That's awesome 💚🦋

you are the best gardening youtuber

Great video! Probably I missed some information. My son growing these butterflies from caterpillar to butterfly. We have passion vines at home (inside). Caterpillars look happy with that. But when they come out we try to feed them with sugar water, pineapple, orange, and banana. They just became weak after 3-4 days, stopped flying and ..... This happened with just two of them for now. At this moment we have 5 chrysalises and 6 small caterpillars. How do we have to feed them and on what day release them? Thank you so much in advance.

I currently grew milkweed last month and it grew and spread more and I had a caterpillar the last few days till I found out it was gone today.

Missed your video this Sunday morning. Enjoy your time off! We all need some down time😊

Thanks for another great garden tour today as always beautifully put together video

Don't touch the chrysalis it's bad for them and if it's still on the chrysalis it's not ready yet

What a great video,I have been raising Monarchs here in Christchurch New Zealand for a couple of year's now for the same rason as you,,they are nearly extinct here in the South Island of New Zealand,,as you say it is frightening because you would like them all to survive,This year 24, I'm growing my own seedlings to try and keep up with these caterpillars do they eat and grow so quickly,I'm moving those butterflys into a Butterfly castle here, These castles look like a box made of tight see through netting with a zip to allow you to put plants inside for your caterpillars to keep eating until they climb up onto the top of that castle and change to that next stage,they cannot get out until you open that zip to allow them to fly away,,thanks for the idea of taking pieces of milkweed and place it into water,,I have been doing that also as cuttings to grow new plants from but will now leave those caterpillars on some of them in my castle...Love your Garden too and the advise for what plants they love I know they LOVE my Dahlias,,I also have several Buddliahs they Love those,,will plant some Salvia too..

Is that a Malva Zebrina hollyhock? I grew it a few years ago from seed but it was so sparse, not as healthy as yours! If it is Malva Zebrina, I want to try and grow it again. Thanks for sharing your garden! And thanks for showing the butterflies dancing - I was laughing when one landed on a flower and the others "told" him to keep dancing! I only see bees in my garden and I'd sit there watching them and forget what I'm doing.

Thank you 🦋 learned a lot. I’ve been raising monarchs for about 3 years in New England & currently have 5 caterpillars in different stages. Good luck and thank you again

Don’t you just love hairstreaks?? What a gift to have him visit you! I love their little stripey antennae! Those big bright zinnias are like a little welcome into the garden! The wooly thyme!! So sweet! I can not get over how full and amazing it all looks!!! Goodness! LOL ALLLL buddleas poop out on me! I mean….Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous, DEAD😵 “Bless you my child!” 🤣 Same, girl. I love volunteer gomphrena! Oh, the mallow! So dreamy. I’ve gotta get some of that native phlox! Your dahlias are so pretty this year! You are the dahlia whisperer. I love that we both have “mosquito moments” <<whack>> WHILE filming! 🤣🤣🤣🦟👏😵 Ha! I’m always planting things that are going to be 30’ high right next to the fence. Yay for Pipevine!! I love your tiny garden! 💕 Oooooh. All your new trees! I need like a couple of extra acres just so I can grow all the trees I want. I bet your tea was wonderful! What a darling entrance and a delicious table! Your butterfly game is ON FIRE! I’ve never seen so many butterflies! I love how they occasionally buzz the camera. MAGICAL! One time I had a chrysalis come off of its stick, and so I made a tiny little pocket out of a paper towel and taped it to the side of a flower pot, and just barely tucked the chrysalis into the pocket, and it worked out fine. I think you put the end poking up that has the two little notches on it. Thanks for the beautiful and inspiring tour! ❤❤

Will miss you my friend! Enjoy your break! Love, your gardening friend, Deanna

I will miss seeing you! Have a great month and we’ll see you in the fall!!🎉

Hi Rachel. The rain and thunder sound so wonderful! We've finally had some rain! Thank you for telling us your plans. I hope the rest of your summer is wonderful. I'll miss you. 🥰🙋‍♀️🐛🦋🌻💐

Hi Rachel. I am going to miss you. Enjoy your break, and I look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks😊

I will miss your videos but I’m so happy to be one of vacation stops on your break! Can’t wait to see you!

On my goodness! It’s all so beautiful and lush!! MAGICAL! Yes!! Gomphrena for the win! Starting seeds is absolutely key! I went the way of direct sowing this year and I was pretty happy with it, but you are Next Level Extra! I love that you are educating friends and neighbors about butterflies! I am commenting a month after you put this video up, so I have just been through hurricane Beryl. I had several power company lineman in my yard that I showed an eastern black swallowtail chrysalis to and talked to them about butterfly gardening! Two even took pictures to send to moms and girlfriends! Oh, I’m so glad that pink salvia seed came up so beautifully! I think it maybe hybridized in my yard, because none of my plants are blooming quite that color!! And some of mine randomly came up white!! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Oooooh! That tiger swallowtail!! Stunning. I had one land on me in Rocky Mountain National Park a few weeks ago! Honestly, your garden is just jaw dropping. Everywhere you look 😲🤯😵 I love the view from above! And the kale just standing to attention like, “halloooooo”! Such a pretty combo of penstemon and snapdragons! I love how you have passionvine just wandering around through the zinnias! When I see it “out in the wild” at Camp Allen, that’s exactly what it’s doing- wandering around on the ground amongst the wildflowers! That moth caterpillar! Whoa! I love the pop of blue that plumbago gives! Someday you and I will have matching walls covered in plumbago! 😂 Ok. The owls. Whaaaat???😮 Thanks for the gorgeous tour! It has cheered me no end to see it and hear your voice after watching my garden so devastated in the hurricane. I’m literally cheered up enough to go get my grubby gardening clothes on and pot up some flowers I bought yesterday during my retail therapy. Thanks, friend! ❤

Hermosa decoracion

Saw some on my lemon tree. Wonder why they love citrus so much

Have a wonderful time! Praise God for the rain 😊❤️

That’s right, handle God’s business first (VBS) and he will take care of you, your garden 🌺 🪴 and them butterflies 🦋 . So glad You have your priorities in order my sister. Rachel, I’m going to miss you on Sunday !

Love the sound of thunder! Have a lovely break.

Enjoy your vacation! We will see you soon!

Enjoy your time and especially the fun you will have with VBS. Some of my favorite memories from childhood summers!

Looking forward!

Enjoy your break Rachel and we'll see you again in the autumn 🍂 ❤️

Have a wonderful 6 weeks off! (We are finally getting rain here in GA. Very thankful, for sure…the garden can take care of itself for awhile now other than pulling a few weeds here & there.) Enjoy yourself Rachel & hugs from GA❤

wow Fall’s gonna be great , that’s my favorite time of the year !

Hey Rachel! I had a butterfly the other day! Made me think of you! Also started growing some fennel. Maybe too late? Thanks for another beautiful tour! Your gardening buddy! Deanna

Muy muy grande el jardin

Do you bring your caterpillar’s inside your home? I just started helping or raising? Lol gulf fritillaries. They have come to my passion vine and just keep multiplying. I wasn’t sure if I had to keep them outside to keep their temperature acclimated to the weather? I have a new little home coming from Amazon and have other ideas for homes to have several options. Thank you for your help 😊🦋

You’ve got your own monarch colony!

I am enjoying your gorgeous colourful jungle ❤ WOW WOW! Love your channel and look forward to your updates! What a beautiful shot @2:10 The colors are just stunning!

Oh gosh I need to find that cardinal basil.

A jungle is right! Your garden has just gone OFF! I can’t get over how big your salvia is. And zinnia! My stars!

I had a gazillion monarch caterpillars in the early spring, but they disappeared for a while. I have giant milkweed. It’s such an interesting plant, and it will fill in the gap when you run short. Your garden looks amazing. My husband and I spent yesterday pulling vines out of our 50-year-old azaleas. Potato vines have taken over Florida🤣

Beautiful Rachel! We have finally been getting rain, hallelujah! It’s been so hot I can only stay out for a short time! So grateful for the rain, that way I don’t have to water. It takes a long time to water two and a half acres!

42:50 That's Salvia 'Argentine Skies' a black&blue variety

I also live in zone 9 Fairhope Alabama. I’m visiting my daughter in Ohio the last 2 months, not sure what will have lived or died🫤by the time I get back. I agree with having more Gomphena it grew so well last year so I’m growing more. Also last summer while visiting my daughter I brought some clearance pink lemonade calibrachoa it grew beautifully and overwintered and is doing great in containers. Love your channel, fun seeing the caterpillars that’ll soon be butterflies.

Bunches of caterpillars! Wow! Going to be fun to watch them turn into butterflies. Everything lookin’ good Rachel!❤ Still super dry here in middle GA. Such a bummer. Things just don’t look as good as when they get rain. Had a great trip to N.C. visiting my daughter. We spent a day hiking to 2 different waterfalls & went tubing in yet another location. High 86 degrees. Couldn’t get over how lucky we got temp & weather-wise. It was refreshing. But then I came home to dry & hot again. Blah. At least my hubs kept things watered for me. Take care my friend. Hugs from GA❤

Always love seeing your garden tours with your gorgeous flowers and all the friends 🐸, dragonfly’s and 🦋

I think the grass might be blue fescue. Greetings from England 😊

15:19 Omg you've got Aristolochia fimbriata, lol. It always makes me so happy to see natives to my area being grown in other countries. Have you recieved pipevine swalowtails yet? They're the prettiest.

9:13 That's Asclepias curassavica 'Silky Gold'! Still tropical milkweed! Your garden is stunning
