I was walking in the adjacent fields today and found a Spider Milkweed plant about 5" tall with buds. On April 13th I spotted the first common milkweed plant in the milkweed patch.
Today there are many new common milkweed shoots with some plants up to 9" tall. The weather has been very warm the past several days with high temperatures in the mid 80's, which is well above normal.
