Time to harvest milkweed seed pods already!

Lincoln, NE(Zone 5b)

Yikes! I've seen a few ripe and opened already and had to start getting them off the milkweed plants. I'll be keeping some, but i don't want our backyard filled with milkweeds...we have about a dozen plants...and 2 of them are the Rose incarta...which are about 5' by 3' each!!! Last year I didn't have to harvest til the last week of August...quite early this year!
Here's a pic of one of our ripe pods that split open...

Lucky,

What do you have to offer? I didn't see a trade list of yours when I clicked on your name...

Susan, boy mine seem like they are early too.

I'm going to have TONS of A. tuberosa. I didn't cut a single stem back this year, I probably should have.
