cut the plant stalk down and put it in a bird cage or something of the like to keep the birds off of it.

Milkweed
May not be real gardening, but it is growing around my vegetable garden, and the bees love it, so it stays.
Tuesday I found a monarch caterpillar on the ground and placed it on a milkweed leaf. Yesterday I looked for it and found a beautiful green crysalis! First one I have ever seen. Now to wait 10-14 days... and hope the birds don't eat it.

I have not picked any yet this year, but the kids raised about ten monarchs last year in a large glass jar and then released them. Here is a pic.
