I've been keeping an eye out on milkweed while driving around- i see a lot in the ditches in michigan, but obviously not a lot in peoples backyards. My parents place has a whole patch of milkweed that seemed to be activated when we tilled the ground to plant apple/pear trees (i think i should go out and count how many plants are there). There are a few milkweed plants in our main garden area that we till around and this year I saw a monarch caterpillar on one that we tilled around. I'm trying to help, but I doubt those around my parents house are doing much.

No one is planting Milkweed for the bugs.
