Re: Milkweed pods
I have a dozen pods. And if for some reason this isn't enough, I have a logging trail that I will use a bit this year that had years worth last season.
You have a monkey Mr. Munson?

Re: Milkweed pods
Overgrown fields and the shoulders of the road are good places to look.

I was looking at some meadow areas today with mature thistle going to seed. I believe you could harvest thistle seeds just as milkweed if you can't find milkweed. Thistle seeds "fuzz" blows through the air identical to milkweed.
Some do. Some don't. I just might...

Re: Milkweed pods
Ditches are great spots to find them. Along the edges of crop fields too.

Re: Milkweed pods
Dumb question: Is milkweed ripe for picking right now? I don't have any yet.

Yesss.! Right now is the perfect time to pick them.
Milkweed is very easy to find where I live.
