Backyard Asclepias curassavica never lost all their leaves and were cut back to bare stems. The new growth has leaves up to three inches long and flower buds may open this week. In the backyard we also have A. asperula and A. tuberosa that have broken thru the surface of the soil. The A. asperua has a couple of new stems about two inches long with about eight leaves each. We think the wild A. viridis in Victoria County was just breaking the ground but it will be a week before we can be sure. The last two weeks have been very springlike. The chance for a frost should be past for the year now. Corn planting started on Wednesday.
