We've been in this house now for over nine years and for eight of those years I've tried different ways to grow milkweed behind my back fence. I've planted and and lately I've just scattered them. Working from home and with COVID, I just don't find myself out where I see pods to grab. My neighbors who have milkweed have stripped the pods and so that source is not there. I was resigned to having a fall without trying.
Then this week out of the blue, Cindy's brother-in-law Brad mails me what you see below. It sure mean a lot that he thought of me. He and I walked in the woods last time he was here and I must have made it sound pretty important that I get some growing...
Thank you Brad...these are all the way from Wyoming. Who knows, could be a different type of milkweed. I'll be putting these out some time next month...usually around Thanksgiving.
