i removed and replated some milkweed last year to have food for the mocarch buterfly larvea that i raise and we had to leave for a vacation. i told my neighbor to pick a few leaves for them to eat while we were gone and she picked to much of it and mostly killed to plant. i thought that they were never going to come back after that happened but i guess to good luck and nice weather they started to come up! i was picking the weeds out of my garden that i have and i saw the leaf poking up. i mistook it for a weed so i pinched it out of the soil. when it came out there was milkweed liquid all over! i was like 'oh no!' but then a few days later there where more and i was so happy that i didnt kill the rest. no they are growing larger and larger every day and by looking at the monarch migration map, theres going to be eggs on the leaves in no time!
