Awesome tour of the front yard. I'm redoing my front yard right now and will be putting in a few native milkweeds to the Monarchs.
I really enjoyed your very detailed video. thank you very much for all the names of the plants and their benefits and especially their water consumption. I can't wait to get started on my plants!
That last caterpillar you touched is pupating, it will turn into a chrysalis then a butterfly soon! You can tell when they are about to pupate because they hang upside down in a 'J' shape.
Hi Jake! Where do you get wolf berries? I planted 4 gogis last year, which have struggled mightily in the AZ heat. I'd like to get a gogi-ish berry that will actually thrive here. Thanks for the video.
That caterpillar actually is a Queen Monarch caterpillar
Good Man i like your videos
What would it take to get you to part with one of those large Apple cactus limbs? Los mine to careless palm tree trimmers they dropped a ton junk on mine and it bruised and killed mine.
The caterpillar you pointed out is a "Queen" butterfly which is in the same family as the monarch but on a monarch butterfly caterpillar, they only have two sets of filaments, the longer ones being on the head and the shorter ones on the tail. A queen butterfly caterpillar has three sets of filaments on it. 🙂 Thanks for sharing and it's so important to help out the monarch butterfly! I appreciate what you're doing to help. 🙂 😉
Jake that cat is a Queen caterpillar with 3 filaments. monarch has 2 filaments.thanks for helping both butterflies.monarchs.monarch should be showing up here in october and november thanks debbie in scottsdale
Great tour! amazing garden! I'm glad you are helping the Monarch.
Lucky! No snow!!
Sexy
That's actually a Queen caterpillar, I raise and release monarchs and queens in Las Vegas as well using desert milkweed.
I think I first made this comment 3 yrs ago but re-watched this–fyi only, these are Queen butterfly caterpillars. Secondly, although it works and there are many native Asclepias milkweeds, Desert Survivors Native Plant Nursery in Tucson reports the Erosa and Angustifolia may be more productive than the Desert Milkweed. They recently modified this assessment a little, however, and best to plant all 3 at minimum 🙂
Subbed, I live in San Bernardino County Commiefornia. It's awesome knowing there are plants that look good during bloom season as well as require little water. Lord knows Commiefornia doesn't have enough water. 😂
Caterpillar looks like the ones I took off of a dill plant which they were destroying
Plant Mount Lemmon marigold. It is a perennial bush form and it repels aphids on roses
That is SO awesome! I want to grow edible plants AND create beneficial ecosystems! That’s how I found your video – doing my research. I’m very much looking forward to the DBG’s Spring plant sale!
Thanks for the video. I just moved to AZ from Florida. The plants are so different but I like to do Native planting wherever I am. I will go to your website.
I would appreciate some information about the kind of minerals you add to your soil for the plants to grow healthy and fast.
Thanks
Thank you ! I been looking for Desert plant suggestions, and all yours you showed are what i was looking for.
Your amazing 👏🌵🌿
We just moved to AZ…. are you still doing your gardening?
Love your garden ,I live in northern Arizona and plan to go all native desert plants in my landscape ! 👍😇❤️🕊👵🏻🐶😺❤️😇🌎🌍🌏🕊
You found a queen I can tell because of those black thingys on the caterpillar
How many years did it take the 6” saguaro to grow to that size?
Great video but you need to do some research on monarchs, a lot going on here that I don't think you even realize. These are queen caterpillars and you had on that was going thru its beginning stages of becoming a chrysalis. The j hook was there and the skin was splitting. Definitely a redo video. 🦋🦋
