I just took this photo of the milkweed in my garden. Most of my common milkweed is almost two inches high. I do have a couple of plants that are three inches high though and their leaves are preparing to open. Rain is expected today or tomorrow, which will be a big help. Last year I saw my first monarch and eggs on 5-20-09, but I saw the monarch and eggs in 2006 on 5-4-06, so we'll see what happens this year. This is so exciting.
