That must of been Bob. I wear Northwestern shirts and Montana State Jorts.

Fuck the Griz! Go Cats!

Why didn't you just plant some from seed? I would think it's a pretty quick growing plant.

Or I could be wrong.

And, Go Cats!

That's a funny story tommy. I was chased off by a farmer looking for milkweed when I was a student. It was his property, and we were traspassing sort of thing. Actually followed for awhile to make sure we were really leaving.

I did. We have a couple varieties. But we didn't have the kind with the huge leaves (common milkweed), and these caterpillars eat like pigs. There is some here in Beverly, so we clipped some leaves, but my son wanted the "adventure" of going to central Illinois. (We actually went down by Champaign. Then we did stuff there.)

Also, milkweed isn't the prettiest plant . . . but next year, we'll grow what we have and the kind with the huge leaves. I'll be guerrilla gardening, too, since we have a tiny yard.

Milkweed isn’t as bad as some of the amaranths. Gd I hate walking beans.

Gymsum weed was my least favorite. That would stain through your gloves and make your hands green.

It's kinda cool that in 10-15 years you and your son will have a wacky story about travelling the state looking to harvest weeds like guerrillas.

Reminiscing about odd experiences like that have already been a great source of laughter with my oldest son this summer.

My wife gets 'pillars for her classroom as well, and I have a bumper crop of milkweed in the ditch this year. I usually cut that area with the old sickle mower on the antique JD, must spread the seeds. We have a butterfly bush planted right next to the house, that does a better job attracting all types of flittery critters.

I'm fighting another outbreak of giant ragweed in the vineyard, first set of leaves is two feet up, so above the weed sprayer tips, that crap grows like a foot a day when this warm.

Those Chicagoans never crawled around a bean field at 6am before it got too hot pulling that smelly-ass shit up by the root so it wouldn't grow back.

I'm envious. Seriously.



Still envious.
