We discovered the first young milkweed shoot on the edge of our garden today (May 18). It measures 2 inches high and its young leaves haven't begun to unfold from the shoot yet. I had found another shoot two days earlier (May 16th) that was sprouting up against the foundation of our east-side porch but wanted to wait to report the 'first' as the first one away from the house growing in temperatures more typical of the surrounding environment.
