I came out to my back yard, which faces south, to the surprise of finding my Climbing Milkweed vine[Gonolobus suberosus] AKA Anglepod already about a foot out of the ground and trying to find something to climb up! I installed the trellis to start it. No other species of milkweeds are up in either the north or south beds right now. Anglepod is a minor host for monarchs, they would rather go to any of the milkweeds is the Asclepias genus first {like purple milkweed, swamp milkweed or butterflyweed before they would lay eggs on this. But at least it is something up for any early migrants.
