Hello Michaela,

My name is Erika and I am new to gardening. I would love some seed. I live in Texas, south Texas actually. Do you think the milkweed would do good here? If you have seeds left over I would love to try.

Erika

Hi Erika - Welcome to the world of gardening! I would be happy to send you some. As far as how it would do for you in Texas, I'm not sure. I found this when I did a quick lookup and it seems it will grow for you but wouldn't necessarily thrive on it's own since Milkweed are known to like more water than other milkweed types.

Here's the link about different milkweed to grow in texas: http://texasbutterflyranch.com/2013/04/25/got-milkweed-updated-plant-guide-for-central-and-south-texas/

Definitely let me know if you want some seeds and if you can send me a message and send me your address I'll get them on their way to you!

Michaela

Michaela, I would love some seeds to your milkweed. This was the first year that we raised monarchs and I do have the least favorite of the milkweed but there were caterpillars on it this year and after raising them I went out and bought a swamp milkweed which looks like what you have and the butterflies like that kind better than mine. My email is seabars@aol.com. You can email me if you have any seeds left I would really like some. thank you .........Sandy

I'd love to Sandy, I'll send you an email so I can get your address.

Still lots of seeds if anyone else is interested! I did see that there are white swamp milkweed seed pods opening up as well so if anyone would like white just specify that when you post!

Please send me an email at mleek at comcast dot net with your smail address so I can send a stamped self addressed envelope to you. I'd love to receive some of the pink seed if still available. And thank you for such a kind offer.

Mary

Hello Michaela,

Do you have any seeds left?

Hi Mary - just sent you an email.

Hi Marilyn, I definitely do. Just have to go out and harvest more. What color would you like? Send me a message here if you'd like and let me know where to send them and I'll get some out to you this week!

Hi Michaela, I received your email and have already prepared the envelopes. They will go out in today's mail. I would like some of the pink seeds, please.

Thank you so much and the Monarchs thank you. I have 28 waiting to eclose and gathered between 50 and 60 eggs and just hatched Monarch babies yesterday. Raising these additional cats will just about take care of all the milkweed I have left. Need to grow more next year in case more is needed.

Mary

You're so welcome! I am happy to share and love that it results in more milkweed for the monarchs.

Sounds like you have your hands full! I have 2 monarchs that just pupated, 3 hanging in j's, and 2 little ones growing and I feel like I have a lot going on!

I was telling my husband that I need to grow some milkweed right next to the backdoor so I don't have to go out into the garden in my PJs to grab milkweed for the ones I'm raising inside.

Mary I got your envelope today! I got you 3 seedpods of seeds on their way to you! :)

Michaela, thank you so much! This is very kind of you to share your bounty of seeds with us. I will watch the mail for them.

Mary

Another packet of seeds went out today to Kristi!

If anyone else is looking let me know. The seed pods are looking pretty drab but I still have more :)

Michaela...I would love to have some of the pink and also the white Swamp milkweed (if available). I am in Ohio. I was so low on milkweed this year...not nearly enough for the caterpillars I have. Hoping to grow several different kinds of milkweed. Please let me know if you still are doing this. Thank you. Email: apmalov@sbcglobal.net

Michaela, I must apologize for taking so long to let you know the seed arrived in perfect condition. Thank you so much for your kindness. I hope I am in a position to pass it forward one day. ... Mary

Hi Mary - no worries at all. I'm so glad you got them in good condition! I am so happy to share them! Hope they grow well for you!

Michela, I was wondering if you still had some milkweed sees left? I have some see I harvested from several different flowers I could trade if you like. Just let me know.

Yes I do. Would you like white or purple? I think I have both left. I am okay on seeds for now, I have so many and not enough time to grow them all. This winter I'm just focusing on growing delphiniums! But thank you for the offer! If you want to message me on here and give me your address I can get some in the mail to you.

Hello...i am also interested in the seeds, if you have any left. I'm working on starting a butterfly garden and growing different milkweeds... Don't have swamp milkweed. I will be glad to send you a SASE and flower seeds. Thanks for your kind offer and for sharing with us.
