Wtb: Milkweed seeds

Unread postby jowens » Tue Aug 11, 2015 4:01 pm

Anyone have any they want to sell? I am going to try to locate some this fall but would like to buy some and go ahead and watch how the wind is working around the terrain I hunt around.

Thanks

I would send you some for free, but they aren't ready yet.

There is a national project for monarch butterfly conservation, which includes planting milkweed all over the place. More info here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/120 ... 150611.zip

September is the time for pod harvesting.

My flowerbed has milkweed that I tried killing in the past. This year it will give me a full season of wind checkers. As of today the smaller pods are browning and the large pods are still green.

Do you guys see any major differences in effectiveness between milkweed and milkthistle?

They seem to have been behind in growth around here this year, but they look fully grown around here now and there seems to be a lot more than usual. They are everywhere this year and ten mile drive will take you past thousands of plants.

I haven't seen an abundant amount lately, but the few I've spotted I'm keeping my eye on for them to slightly open before I harvest them.
