Found my milkweed today – It’s about 4 inches, grown 2 maybe. I’m sure there are lots more, but we had so much rain last year that the grasses took over and now I have 2-3 foot of native and invasive grasses where the milkweeds were easy to see last year before the grass took over. Will be difficult for the milkweeds to get a start with little chance of working their way through the high grass that is now matting as the winds are laying in down in lawyers so thick you just walk on top of the large continuous mats for sometimes hundreds of yards. The only solution is to burn and we have been under a burn ban for moths. My neighbor was doing a trash burn today, it caught the grass on fire and his home as well – Four fire department were out here for 6 hours fighting the fire that spread to the grass land, cedars, brush etc. Lucky for us it was down wing from my ranch with winds moving it away.

Note the high grass…
