Got a low tunnel now for overwintering native plants in containers white side up, and clear silage tarp for getting new seedlings growing early in spring! The mesh is concrete reinforcing mesh. Cut out access panels. Stakes on each end and bungees over the top. Holds 46 trays! Gravel for excellent drainage. Key is moisture stability even more than temp. Just learned that roots die when frozen while dry.

I had an epiphany! I have had an impossible amount of common milkweed for many many years, with little luck of seeing any monarchs. This year, I have finally grown three large clumps of Joe Pye weed along with multiple spots of beebalm and mountain mint, (just to name a few) amoung the milkweed.. And I realized that although the monarchs need the milkweed for egg laying, they also need food while they are at it..All this week I've had multiple monarchs laying eggs and enjoying the other native flowers. I am beyond excited and will be very careful not to disturb any baby cats! Lesson Learned: Plant More Natives! Hanover county, VA
