This week the panel is talking about which types of seeds you can be looking to buy during this winter season.

This week the panel is covering a variety of topics, such as caterpillars and hibiscus.

At last year’s plant sale by the conservation group Grand Prairie Friends, nearly 1,400 milkweed seedlings were sold. Why all the milkweed?  It’s the only genus of plants on which the caterpillars of monarch butterflies feed and develop. Knowing that monarch populations are in trouble, people here and across the country are doing what they can to create monarch havens in their own back yards.
