Hi! I am Cathy and I live in NW Ohio, Zone 6a. I like to grow perennials and vegetables, but my passion is native plants. My urban gardens are over 90% native. They are spread along the north edge of our property line and most of our backyard totaling over 3,500 SF. Vegetables are planted in raised beds, Greenstalk Vertical Planters and large pots. Hopefully all who view my content will be inspired to plant more natives and grow their own food.

I just found your utubes, Thank you!!!! 😄
😊 I forgot to ask, what do you use to spray for mildew, please??
Heath aster and frost aster are two different asters. Heath asters only get 2 feet tall. Frost aster is very valuable to biodiversity. No native flower is invasive, and certainly not a weed.
Thank you for this video- I'm in NW Ohio too and have Awful Powdery Mildew every year. Will any of the remedies here hurt the native bugs?
Very interesting video
Sounds like my jerusalem artichokes 😂
@Lady-yo6xh 😂 Thanks for commenting.
Oh dear, I know I have started these. My soil is dry in the summer so maybe it will be ok. I didn't know they would be so aggressive. Thanks for the video.
@sannaericditsler4034 If the are in a dry area, you shouldn't have a big problem. It will help if you cut them back before they go to seed. I usually leave about 18" of stem for hibernating insects. Thanks for your comment.
I have always felt that there is a place in gardening for nuclear weapons!
@@SMElder-iy6fl 🤣 Love your comment!! Thanks
Do pollinators winter in the stems?
@SMElder-iy6fl Yes they do. I usually cut mine back leaving about 18" of stem. Thanks for your comment.
I am going to check and see if I have this one. Tha KS foe the warning about not letting g it take over. I mistakingly planted Canadian goldenrod. I'm trying to control it now.
Thanks for commenting. I almost made the same Goldenrod mistake!
Any good local sources to buy cup plant seedlings? Or seeds?
Thanks for commenting. Check this link... www.prairienursery.com/cupplant-silphium-perfoliatum.html
This is one of those plants I think if marketed right it could be a popular one. The way the leaves hold water and how long the flowers last. It really is a beautiful and beneficial plant for nature. I feel guilty whenever I have to kill one when weeding my garden.
I agree. Thanks for commenting.
Love your videos Cathy:)
Glad you like them! Thank you.
Apprently Monarchs are not attracted to this plant. Is this true.
@@joanaffleck2455 Good question... I have not heard that, but I've never seen anything on them either.
Thank you for the information on growing in a pot. I have heavy clay also.
You're welcome! Thanks for commenting.
Looking good. Have you seen many butterflies? I have not this year.
Thank you! I have seen one Monarch twice and a Giant Swallowtail a few times earlier in the season. That's about it...
John is here to see your beautiful garden. Thumbs up for you.👍👍👍👍👍
So nice of you. Thanks for commenting.
Everything looks great!
Thanks!
In my location I have lots. South Central PA
Thanks for commenting. Lucky for you!! Enjoy them for me :) I have a yard full of milkweed and other pollinator plants and no butterflies!!
Please show us again as it opens up more!
I will keep you posted on it's progress. Thanks for commenting.
Cool plant. I tried to winter sow some but had no luck.
Sorry to hear that. Our local nursery has started selling native plants and mine was pretty large when I planted it.
@@CEGNatives I’m enjoying them vicariously through your video. Thanks. Seriously it’s a valuable service you provide.
@ThreeRunHomer Awwww, thank you so much for your kind comments.❤
I have vermillionaire cuphea but it's losing bottom leaves. Any ideas? Thanks 😊
I have the purple version and it was a bee magnet. I cut it back to ground and it is two feet tall again. Hoping for a second bloom. Mine bloomed from top to bottom. Was it ok to cut it back to ground to encourage a second bloom?
@@kater8730 cutting it back shouldn't hurt it. Hope it blooms again for you. Thanks for commenting.
Also, your garden is enviable - really stunning, clearly happy plants! ❤
@gardenforbirds Thanks you so much💕
I started some last fall (bare root) and it’s small but did bloom, and was beautiful! I saw some growing wild north of me - might try to sneak back out there to collect seeds!
@@gardenforbirds Thanks for commenting.
I saw only one this spring, but I think I don’t have enough milkweed yet for them to decide to camp out. If you look at monarch population numbers, they’re below the threshold for stable populations. It’s so scary, I think populations this low are vulnerable to sudden collapse. I’m really hoping that’s not what it is, but I’m a bit concerned. All we can do is keep planting and spreading the word - your garden looks beautiful and yummy for monarchs if they can get there!
Thanks so much for your comments. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more Monarchs next season.
I'm in south bend, in, I've seen some.
Thanks for commenting. That is awesome. They seem to have come up through western Indiana and into Michigan totally skipping Ohio...
They came to my garden this year. Last year and the year before were not great.
Thanks for commenting. Glad you are getting some this year.
Kathy, chem trailing is to blame! The USAF is out (day & sometimes night) dumping barium, aluminum & other toxic substances into our atmosphere. Cows, sheep are grass grazers & many due to these chemicals are causing still births. This year I have seen 2 bees, 1 dragonfly & 3 butterflies. I planted acorn squash in the Spring here in AL & all the blossoms just died because there were no pollinators. Planted sw potatoes after I pulled out the squash. On utube, view OFF GRID DOUG & Stacey & get up to date. My heart breaks!
Thanks for the info. I will check it out.
Oddly, my potted bee balm bloomed last year and this year not at all, only leaves. Full sun, self-watering container... Overcrowded, not enough fertilizer? 🤔 I'm a lil' bit disappointed with it honestly. But at least I finally got my lance-leaved coreopsis and my native field thistle after so many failed years!
Thanks for commenting. What variety of bee balm. My Jacob Cline (red) will occasionally not bloom. Never have a problem with Wild Bergamot though.
I did see some in PA before we relocated in June, but not a ton of
thanks for commenting
That’s a beautiful shrub!
Thank you! The pollinators really like it. Hope I can keep it trimmed and under control without killing it - LOL
Butterflies are extremely rare here. Unfortunately I think they’re pretty much done.
Thanks for commenting. I'm starting to think it is a bad butterfly year most everywhere...
I have not seen any monarch butterflies. I have seen a few other types in my yard. I have swamp milkweed and whorled milkweed. Thanks for the video.
Your are welcome. Thanks for the comment.
Love going back to see your first video. :) Beautiful garden!
Thanks Macey! It's a wild mess this year, but I'm still loving it!! We've had so much hot, humid weather that it has been hard to get out in the garden as much as I would like. My husband and I watch your videos too! It's fun to see how our gardens change each year.
@@CEGNatives Yes, I relate! It's been wild weather here, too, in East Tennessee. I have a couple problem areas I really need to work on, but instead I've still been planting things I meant to plant in spring! I grew lots from seed this year and had better success than last year, so I guess I had more plants to install than I expected. 😂 Thanks for watching my channel. That makes me smile that you all enjoy my videos like I enjoy yours.
I've seen many other kinds of butterflies, but no monarch butterflies here in Bloomington Indiana
Thanks for the comment. Seems to be the same all over this year!
Only seen a few here. And when I do, it's one all alone. Plenty of common milkweed, and a several butterfly milkweed plants. Seeing one alone makes me wonder, is he lost ?
Thanks for commenting. They seem to be pretty scarce this year for some reason. Hopefully next year will be better.
@@CEGNatives What's a little strange is for me milkweed is one of the easiest plants to grow, but I'm not seeing it anywhere but in my own yard.
I’m in Dayton, and I haven’t seen any yet either. I planted butterfly weed for them earlier in the summer. I did see a black swallowtail laying eggs on my parsley a few days ago.
Thanks for the comment. I'm in the extreme NW corner of Ohio. We had a Giant Swallowtail that I've seen a couple of times.
I have 2 in chrystalis and 2 catipillars. Eggs I collected didn't hatch . Since I am only seeing isolated monarchs every few days, I wonder if the eggs were not fertilized. I am planting milkweed and native pollinator plants. Thanks for the video. Great info. It is interesting to know what others are experiencing. Ludington MI
Thanks for commenting. I saw on the 2024 Monarch Migration map that there were many sightings in Michigan. Not so many in Ohio.
Just curious, have you ever had any difficulty getting swamp milkweed to bloom for you? I bought a swamp milkweed in a gallon pot 3 years ago at a local nursery. I've got it now in a large planter. It is very vigorous and grows quite large, but it has never bloomed or even set buds. Any idea what might be wrong? Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. Could one of a number of things. Usually stress related from what I have read. I've never grown milkweed in a container before so I have no experience except for plants in the ground. There is a good article at this website (gardenerspath.com/plants/flowers/milkweed-not-flowering/) about how stress can cause milkweed to not flower. Don't give up on it...I have had Whorled Milkweed for 4-5 years and it just started blooming last year on 2 plants. This year 4 or 5 have bloomed. I know milkweeds like full sun and Swamp especially likes wet areas. Good luck!
Found some more info on Swamp Milkweed: monarchbutterflygarden.net/milkweed-plants-for-sale/ Asclepias Incarnata Pros • Takes over for fading common milkweed in summer • Preferred nectar source for monarchs and other pollinators • Important food source provides foliage for monarch butterfly caterpillars • Plays well with others, not an aggressive spreader • Easy to start from milkweed seeds • Transplants easy with no deep taproots • Sweet but subtle vanilla scent • Makes a great cut flower with its long lasting blooms • can use stem cuttings to raise monarch butterflies • Resistant to Deer and Rabbits • attractive seed pods Asclepias Incarnata Cons • Another milkweed species that aphids adore • Needs more moisture than other milkweed • Tiny pollinators buzzing around this can get annoying…however, this isn’t really a con since they’re pollinating your milkweed • Leaves are thin and dry out quickly when picked to feed monarch caterpillars Swamp Milkweed Growing Tips • Slow release fertilizer is optional. Over-fertilization can inhibit flowering • Second year plants are a great option for growing in containers (not rhizomatous like Asclepias syriaca)) • Cut off milkweed seed pods to prevent fall seeding • Grows well in average well-drained soils • Grows best in rich, wet soils including rain gardens, wet meadows, marshes, river bottomlands, water features, ponds, or lakes (plants will even grow submerged in water) • Try a mass planting of 5+ plants to attract a bounty of monarchs, bees, hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators • or bind them shut with organza bags if you want to collect mature asclepias incarnata seeds • Swamp milkweed leaves often turn purple in late summer and fall. Senescence is a normal occurrence and green, healthy leaves will return next spring.
I never knew that they can be male and female. I got some fruits last year, but this year.. Nothing! Last year it was a festival of fritillaries, this year only 5!😢
I have not had any fritillaries yet. Thanks for commenting.😊
Let us know what you find out. I had a passion flower vine years ago. I didn't have the fruit. How interesting.
Will do
I planted this last summer and this year it's doing very well. I'm in 6A/B. Thank you for the video
@@gargozer Thanks for commenting
Thank you! This is my first time growing it and I learned a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
This is Gwen again. The milkweed this happened to was common milkweed. I agree with you I have not seen the aphids this year either.
I know, it's weird. I did find a few on the top of a new Swamp Milkweed that popped up in a path. I squished them😅
I choose to leave the aphids and most of the beetles because they are food for others. Last year i experimented by leaving the aphids alone and they damaged the tops of the milkweed but a few weeks later the plant continued to grow above the damage to with new leaves and new flowers. Nature is resilient!
Letting nature do it's thing can sure make things look a bit messy sometimes. But it is often the best and easiest solution. 😊 Thanks for the comment.
I have the red beetle looking bug. Not sure if it is the Big or small. I had them last year too. I haven't done anything because I don't want to poison any thing. Not sure what to do.
Thanks for the comment. I would suggest knocking the budgs into a container if soapy water. I use Dawn dish soap. Good luck.
Hi Cathy, I just found you as I adding more phlox to my gardens. I garden just north of Dayton, Ohio. I am going to try propagating for more plants. Nice video!!
Hi Lisa - thanks for commenting. Good luck propagating!
Thanks for commenting. Give them plenty of room! The pollinators will love it!!
That is awesome. Thanks for sharing and watching my short.😊
