Summer 2001 Update



June 24, 2000

Summer 2001 already! Our milkweed is growing like crazy. It has doubled again and has even moved
out into the yard. Every week I mow over some persistent plants and pluck the others before they get
too tall. I've left a total of about a dozen plants.

The kids and I were surprised to spot our first Monarch on June 10th. That seemed so early. On the 22nd
I found two caterpillars and one egg and brought them all inside.
