I just took a garden walk and noticed 6 Monarch Larvae on my milkweed. They are all about an inch long. I thought I saw a Monarch around the garden the last several weeks. Should I cover them with a cloche tonight or a sheet or what? The milkweed you see in the pic was a cutting I rooted in the greenhouse. There will never be enough to sustain them to chrysalis stage, at least I don't think it will. There are other Milkweed planted from last year but no leaves yet.
One of them I found on the Pineapple Mint and moved it to the Milkweed. They won't eat the mint will they?
You know me I can't let nature take its course, I need to intervene. LOL
What do you think I should do?
