After two warm days my milkweed garden has finally sprouted! Daughter and I counted 50 shoots. The tallest is 3 inches, some are just breaking the surface, and most are in between. Hooray! Last year I started 70 from seeds I stred in the fridge from the year before. 35 survived the transplanting into the new milkweed garden. (Common milkweed) They have now multiplied, as many have multiple
shoots coming up together. The garden markers are about 6 inches tall (from the soil). The other milkweeds -- not in this patch, but all over tucked in various places-- have not yet popped up.
