During yard work, we observed milkweed in our front patio (it grows between the flagstone) and it was about 6 inches tall already.

We usually end up with about 6 plants there and had about 10 caterpillars in 2014 on those plants. We are looking forward to having more plants and maybe more caterpillars this year. We observe closely and have been successful in getting all caterpillars we find to butterfly stage by protecting those plants and/or caring for them inside if weather is bad or the food source runs out.
