I was out in the field this morning and I have numerous common milkweed plants that are between 4" & 8" tall. The first sprouts were observed on 4/19. I checked the local fields for native milkweed (a. viridis) this past weekend but was unable to find any. Temps have been below normal the past several days. I planted 4 common milkweed plants on 4/18. Three of the plants seem to be growing quite well. I am still waiting on the Monarchs.
