My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

WANTED: milkweed hardy in zone 5

11 years ago

Hi,
I have a lot of common milkweed seeds and would like to trade for other types of zone 5 hardy milkweeds, I raised 6 monarch butterfliers last summer. I noticed caterpillars on the milkweed that sowed itself in my backyard and took them in.
Happy gardening!
