I recently found out that a plant I had growing in a raised bed was milkweed. I hadn't been uprooting it because I observed bees and other insects happily freaking out over it. Now I know it's milkweed, should I keep it? We know monarch butterflies are declining, and they're not the only ones I've seen out there. I don't spray at all. It happened to pop up in the area I had allocated for a butterfly garden next year, too!
What do you think about this? Should we be keeping "weeds" that are a good part of a healthy ecosystem, as long as they're in certain spaces and non-invasive to our area?
