I was inspecting my milkweed plants outside. The tuberosa which grows against the south side of my house is 15 inches tall. One of the Swamp milkweeds I have at the back of my yard without wind protection is 10 inches tall with other plants shorter than that.

Would love to have some warmer weather as I live 3 miles from Lake Michigan and the saying cooler near the lake applies. Nights still fall down into 40's. A portion of the northeast side of town was sprayed for gypsy moths.
