Judy--

My Tropical Milkweed you gave me is growing nicely. Not sure it will make it
to the blooming stage. seems kind of late....

My Swamp Milkweed--today I went to check on the seed pods--and found
most of the stem tips covered in the yellow Aphids. I trimmed all the tips off--
as the plant was done blooming anyway. Tomorrow--I will try to spray
it with something non-chemical...
I have NO cats yet on anything!!! I have not seen any on my parsley or Dill..
Second year now. NONE! Three years ago--there were piles of them chomping
away on my parsley and dill. Has it been a bad year? Overall?
