With the high winds and strong rains that we’ve had recently, some of our gardens have taken a beating.
When a heavy plant like a common milkweed falls, it may have a tough time getting back up — but all is not lost — grab a tomato cage and let the plant stand up in that.
You can also cut back your Common Milkweed right now. It will sprout new leaves and be fresh for when we start to see Monarch butterflies in earnest around the end of July.
