Found my first shoots of common milkweed up about 3/4 inch with 3 "noses" poking through. This is at least 3 weeks early. My first EARLY monarch sighting and laying eggs was April 28, 2009 when the old tattered mama kept coming back to the milkweed which was barely emerging and laid at least 125 eggs. Lost eggs due to frost but also brought some in and raised close to 30 to a very early 1st generation.
