My milkweed plants took a hard hit when we had 4 straight days of below freezing temperatures over the winter. While cleaning flowerbeds this weekend, I noticed the stalks putting on several new leaves at the very bottom. Compared to previous winters where the entire milkweed stalk survived, they have a much longer way to go to recover.

I'm involving my third grade students this year to help plant milkweed seeds in their own gardens and at our school campus.
