Finally got a warm day to catch up on some gardening at Monarch Waystation #271, and was rewarded with seeing the first sprouts of milkweeds up today. Purple Milkweed sprouts came up right on the edge of the front [northside] garden nearest the sidewalk and were just over 4 inches tall. This area has received the most hours of consistent sunlight so far this spring. In the back yard [southside] sprouts of common milkweed were spotted coming up close to the downspout about the same height as the purple milkweed sprouts out front. Photo is of the purple milkweed sprouts. OK monarchs, come and get 'em!
