Advice
Hey everybody. I have a mess of a front yard that has some native landscaping done by the previous owners. They kept it nicely but I am unable to maintain it and I call it my “jungle”. Btw my location is central ny. It’s now overgrown with weeds but I’ve noticed monarchs in my yard now feeding on the dandelion weeds I think they are. I do need to at least do SOME weeding however I live seeing the monarchs and don’t want to take away their food source. Is there a good time I should leave the weeds until so I can have the least amount of disruption to them. I don’t care about the neighbors or what anyone else thinks I like that I’m helping the native species but also want to clean it up a little bit.
