    I’m hoping one of you guys know where I can buy some milkweed. I’ve looked for it when I’ve scouted this year but haven’t found any. Last year the only reason I had some was one of the clients I used to mow for had some growing next to her yard, so I asked to grab some. Haven’t found any when I’ve had the time. I’m spoiled to hunting with milkweed now instead of pinched pieces of cotton like before. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    If your patient I can pry mail you some. It’s not quite dry yet I don’t think where my property is but it’s everywhere.

    If you do get some I suggest taking the seeds and spresding them around an area you know won't get disturbed to build up future supplies.

    I’ll mail you two or three pods from last year. They’re extra dry so be careful when opening them. Be ready to take it out of the pod and shove it in what ever pouch you’re using. When you break it loose from the pod when it’s really puffs out. Three pods ought to be enough for this year and next. Dm me your address

    Two zip lock bags will be enough to get you through for a few seasons!
