Built a tiny butterfly garden for my wife – Reddit Post

I am a complete beginner when it comes to anything gardening, so please be easy with me 😭🙏 Any tips greatly appreciated as I am eager to learn

I got a random assortment of plants and threw them into the ground. This area gets a lot of sun so I got plants that can withstand it: Milkweed, catwhisker, bandana lantana, salvia, coleus, and a ruby glow that is not doing too well 😭

The pickets are made from pallet wood and the posts are not cemented in so I am hoping they will last about 5 years and by that time I will upgrade the butterfly garden with all my new knowledge and experience (:

We have had heavy rain this past week so everyone has had too much water and are kinda yellow lol
