I've been anxiously awaiting the first Milkweed leaves to pop from the ground here in northern New Jersey. I've been checking every day since our heatwave two weeks ago when we had temps in the high 80's F but nothing. Then the temps dropped for the past 7 days or so into the high 40's to mid 50's F during the day and mid 30's F at night and then suddenly today the Common Milkweed began to show in my raised flower bed in my backyard only but not yet in the front yard. Some stalks are only 2cm tall and others are already about 4 cm tall. Still no Swamp Milkweed showing as of yet though.
