First milkweed shoots discovered today (May 13th). I found five shoots, measuring 10 cm, 9 cm, 5 cm, 3 cm, and 2 cm. I estimate the tallest had emerged at least by May 11th so am using that date as 'first milkweed.' This is the earliest I've discovered milkweed. Previous dates are May 18 (2008), May 15 (2007), May 18 (2005), May 21 (2003), although it is very hard to see it initially.
