Show Notes

IMG_8990 Petey loves the native milkweeds and like it or not you’re gonna hear about it.

No matter where you like in Baja Arizona you will find some species of Asclepias  growing near you. So from Yuma  or Ajo to the top of a sky island you will find a milkweed of some sort. How cool is that? Very cool!  And you need some milkweeds in your pollinator garden so go to your favorite nursery and ask about native milkweeds. Better get a few. Good job.
