I'm happy with the plant propagation that's been happening. So far, I have four native plant seeds in winter sowing mode, in a small amount of soil in recycled containers, in the cold to get their stratification.

I want instant results, and so do the butterflies.

All four of these plants are known for their magnetic appeal for butterflies, including the endangered Monarch. With luck, these will grow enough this year to flower next summer, bringing lots of flying flowers to feast on their nectar.

New grow lights seem to be a good investment, one that previously, I had no experience with. These are Barrina brand LED lights, hung by hooks on a wire shelf unit. So far, so good.

Do you plan to grow anything this year? Maybe you need to go to the Rustic And Succulents Group and get some inspiration, or share your own ideas to inspire others.

Or,you could share them on the Rustic Crafts page - scroll to the bottom of the page!
