While on my way to check out our JN Tulips, I saw a few milkweed leaves peeking out of the ground around the base of one of last year's plants. Of the half dozen or so leaves the longest was 1.3cm in length and the plant itself only 3cm tall. The soil temperature today was 51 degrees F and the air temperature at the time of this reporting (1pm EST) was 52 degrees F., with the wind chill it was around 45-43 degrees F. Very happy to see these leaves of hope. Our students will be planting a lot more milkweed soon with the hope of fulfilling the needs of the Monarch.
