We still have plenty of milkweed pods with seeds, even some pods that are still green, so enough for the bugs to feed on. But now the temperatures at night are dipping below the freezing point…

It’s December here, and I’m surprised to see milkweed still living!

Well, it’s December here too. :-) But NYC is very warm due to the urban heat effect, and there are still pods, some already burst open but some still closed and green…
