I saw two monarch butterflies today (the first of this spring) and so had to check on the pasture for milkweed. Sure enough, there were some young plants of our native milkweed, Asclepias viridis, just starting to sprout. With a cool March so far and freezes in the last two weeks, the milkweed has been challenged. Now the temperatures are very warm with today being 80 degrees F.
