The milkweed has been planted and rapidly eaten by hungry, hungry monarch caterpillars. Yesterday, I purchased a few others, but I'm not putting them out until they get a little bigger. Sad about my caterpillars, but I can't afford enough milkweed to satiate them. My only issue with the milkweed was that even though I had purchased them online and they were set aside, when I went to big them up someone had sold them to another buyer. Fortunately, the store did have other ones.
