Creating an Edible or Medicinal Garden for Your Use and for Butterflies to Enjoy

Excited to see this thread. I would love to grow an edible/medicinal garden for me + butterflies. Gardening is a challenge where I am here in western New Mexico USA, but finally after over 30 years of trying I actually grew (and got to eat) a few veggies. Extreme heat, drought, wind, flood, hail, untimely freezing, below zero winters, not to mention critters - we get it all, but I keep trying.

A friend dug up a clump of yarrow growing wild on her property and gave it to me. It survived - yay!
