The common milkweed in the yard emerged the week before Easter. We had frost on Easter morning. I covered the young plants with plant pots to avoid frost damage. I was out in the field behind the house today and found one common milkweed plant about 3-4" with some minor leaf damage from the frost. Late this afternoon I checked out the adjacent fields and found several green milkweed plants that also had some leaf damage. The dry conditios seems to have prevented the majority of the field milkweeds from emerging.
