My Common and Swamp Milkweed started poking it's head out last week (Easter Sunday 5-April to 11 April, 2015). This week 12-18 April it was coming up almost everywhere in my Monarch Garden with the first Leaves appearing 13 April 2015. Today, 19 April when I wrote this the start of a new week, I have both types (Swamp & Common) well on its way from poking just out of the Ground to over 6 in Tall. Today I even found a nice surprise of some full identifiable leaved Common Milkweed coming out of my Indian Grass where it had been hiding. I will have Common Milkweed for the first arrivals, as the Monarchs here seem to prefer Common Milkweed for their eggs.
