Day 1

Welcome to Monarch Blog!

Today was the day we first noticed our tiny new friends. We planted the swan plant seeds around 2 months ago and the plants are all about 15cm with just one slightly taller at about 30cm.

There are 6 caterpillars so far, enjoy the photos and follow the links in the side-bar if you want to learn more about Monarchs!

If you know any handy tips about looking after monarch caterpillars (I know the one about feeding them on pumpkin if the swan plants run out!) please post them in the comments!
