I live in northern New Jersey at about 1,000 ft. (305 m) elevation. We've had sustained warm temperatures here between 60F (15.5C) at night and 78F (25.5C) during the day for the past couple of weeks. I did in fact find 3 stalks of Common Milkweed beginning to grow. The smallest one is approximately 1cm., and the tallest about 2 cm. I just checked my old reports on Journey North dating back to 2006 and this is a full month earlier than I've ever seen Common Milkweed here in northern New Jersey. Before today, the earliest I've seen milkweed here has been 4/24/2009 and the latest has been 5/6/2007. Also attached a photo.
