My website with information about growing milkweed from seed and other subjects www.rockbirdgardens.com go to Blogs and I’ll put Growing Milkweed from seed up as the spotlight blog.
Bill, the reason that woman can’t ship caterpillars from across the country is that THEY ARE A MIGRATORY SPECIES. There is an eastern species that overwinters in Mexico and a smaller WESTERN species that overwinters in Pacific grove. You can’t move them east to west! And there is no one shipping in the west because they are near extinction levels.
I have a tiny 1/4 acre in Talent and had 28 monarchs this season. If you grow milkweed that is the only way to get them to come to your garden.
I grow 4 different kinds and have plenty of seeds for people interested.
Tome Landis and Suzie Savoy are the local experts, but I’ve highlighted this kind of thing when I was doing “In the Garden” on KDRV for the master gardeners.
There is a Southern Oregon Monarch Advocates group on Facebook.
Here is my website on the subject https://rockbirdgardens.com/blog/show-blog.php?blog_id=5

The suspect nabbed in the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is an anti-capitalist Ivy League grad who liked online quotes from “Unabomber’’ Ted Kaczynski — and seethed in a manifesto, “These parasites had it coming,” law enforcement sources told The Post on Monday.
Tech whiz Luigi Mangione, 26, originally from Towson, Md., apparently hated the medical community because of how it treated his sick relative, sources said.
He has not been charged in the slaying but was taken into custody Monday morning while eating at a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pa., ending an intense manhunt sparked by the coldblooded execution of Thompson outside a Manhattan hotel last week, sources said.

7:10 Constance Vaughn, author of the soon to be released, A Dream Takes Flight – www.PbPpub.com and also available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the usual suspects.
Air travel was once considered the most elite way to travel. Families would dress up for their flights. The world of pilots and flight attendants (called stewardesses) was considered elegant and one that many dreamt of living. It had an allure of its own. But as time evolved, air travel became more common. What was once a man’s world is no longer with many female pilots. Most Americans have travelled on a plane at least once. Industry cutbacks led to the perks of air travel going away. Some have described air travel now as the same as riding a bus. The allure of working in the friendly skies has also diminished. How has the allure of working for an airline changed? How has air travel changed? How has working in the industry changed from the 1960s to the 21st century? What were the challenges for females? How did they navigate the challenges? Has the evolution of the airline industry been for the best?

Craig Howard: SOU’s Premier Football Coach
By Dennis Powers
Craig Howard took over the SOU head football job in 2010. In his first year, he led the perennially losing Raiders to a record of 5-5; the next year they made their first appearance in the NAIA quarterfinals in a decade and were the Frontier Conference champions in their first year in this league. In 2014, the team won the NAIA football championship (beating Marian, 55-31), becoming the first team to win its last three games away from home. For his efforts, he was named the Rawlings NAIA Coach of the Year.
In December 2015, his SOU team headed into its second consecutive NAIA championship game. Although the team lost to Marian (the Indiana team they beat in 2014), they were not expected to even reach the finals—having lost three All-Americans, including Austin Dodge, their quarterback who set NAIA records, and NFL All-Pro kicker, Aldrick Rosas. During their back-to-back runs to the title game, the Raiders knocked off two top-ranked teams, a second-ranked team and a third-ranked team–all on the road. Under Howard, the Raiders led the NAIA in offense in 2012, 2013, and was second in 2014.
He grew up in Grants Pass and played football at Grants Pass High School as a linebacker, once having 35 tackles against Medford High. Heading to Linfield College in Portland, Craig continued as a 165-pound linebacker, playing from 1970 to 1973. Three times, he was named as Linfield’s Most Inspirational Player.
His coaching career started at Roseburg High School with defensive coordinator (“DC”) positions at Oregon Tech (1978-1981) and Portland State (1982-1983), with head coaching (“HC”) positions at Bend and Jesuit High School (a private Catholic high school in Portland). He was the DC at Oregon Tech again (1987-1989)–coaching under then football coach, Danny Miles. As head coach in 1992, he lost that position when it dropped its football program due to budgetary problems.
Loving his profession, Howard left for Florida and coached there for sixteen years. He was the HC for six years (2002-2007) at Nease High School (Ponte Vedra Beach/Palm Valley area), and then at Columbia High School (Lake City, Florida) from 2008-2010. He then left for SOU.
Howard’s teams were 76-23 over his last eight years at Nease and Columbia High Schools. He led the Nease squad to the state title game three times, winning a state championship in 2005. His star pupil at Nease was Heisman Trophy winner/later NFL quarterback Tim Tebow, and during a five-year stretch he not only coached Tebow, but 45 players who went on to play Division I football. Over his last three years at Columbia High, Howard’s teams broke 30 school records.
Although he knew football, Howard won over players and parents with inspiration. When he spoke at a banquet prior to the 2014 NAIA championship game in Daytona Beach, Florida, people from both teams were so moved by his words, that they rose and gave him a standing ovation.
Legendary Oregon Tech basketball coach Danny Miles, who coached football with Howard at OIT during the 1980s, said that before games, Howard would often dim the locker-room lights, turn on “Rocky” music at a high level, and then introduce the starting lineup to the team. “The kids would leave the dressing room crying.”
“He could have been Billy Graham if he wanted to be a preacher. He can fire people up,” said Gary Mires, Howard’s high school football coach at Grants Pass. “He should be a preacher, in fact, the way he can really get a lot of people behind him.”
After his last year coaching in 2016, his teams were 50-23 with the Raiders, giving him the best win percentage (.685) in school history. Craig Howard passed away at his Ashland home in January 2017 at age 64 after a day of recruiting. He had lived the life that he loved.
