Growing milk weed
I have been unable to find milkweed out on the public lands I stomp around. I know its there but just have not found any. Anyway, was wondering if anyone has ever grown milkweed? of so, how did you go about getting the seed and getting started with you plot of pods?

Re: Growing milk weed
I have never grown it as it is readily available in the lower peninsula of Michigan. I have observed that the U.S. Forest Service is planting all the powerlines running through federal land with it to assist the monarch butterflies (its working, I see the butterflies a lot now when I drive by those areas).
They may be a resource for you.

Re: Growing milk weed
You can buy 3 or 4 types of milkweed / butterfly weed at most larger garden centers. I bought mine from a local place as well as Lowes. Every year I get more than enough pods.
