Over the weekend, after 3+ inches of rain and high winds from the other side of the yonder, the 2-3 year old Asclepias syriaca and incarnata rhizomes have broken dormancy and are sprouted up to 2-6 inches. Students will have a work day next week to remove the Lactuca spp. that established itself last summer and add more native perennials to the mix.

I'm hoping the feisty little female monarch that found my dear friend Joyce P.'s milkweed patch a mile or so away will find the BC rain garden's milkweeds.
