Ok, so I k ow I already made a report about spotting milkweed but I wanted to share my success story! When these little guys were just popping up they were in danger of being mowed or harmed. Ranging in height from 1� to 6� tall, I dug them up with roots and planted them in pots with potting soil. After about two weeks a lot started growing and then I planted them as shown in the picture. Since then they have taken off! I also have about 20+ seeds that have started growing like crazy. These are all common milkweed and I encourage everyone to at least try and grow seeds to help out the Monarchs! It may be getting to late to transplant new ones pants but just know in early spring when they start to pop up is best! Good luck everyone and let�s hope for a very successful year!!!
