If you were here in N.NY it would most certainly
be too late.  Last year we had frost the first
week of September and only one of three Monarchs
hatched after that.  At your location with frost
still several months away, it should be ok.

We had a very low number of Monarchs return in
time to reproduce here this year.  My Milkweed
patch remains essentially untouched.  Be happy
you have at least one !
