I bet eating milkweeds doesn't even kill those darn rats! I haven't had problems with the wildlife killing milkweed vines this year either. Just the non-vining ones. The Swamp Milkweed Beetles tried their best to eat up one kind of vine, but the vines were growing like mad and eventually the beetles went away. That was a no-ID species of milkweed vine that I keep wishing would bloom so I could have an ID. Never blooms, AFAIK.

frostweed said:The same problem her Linda, we even had rats eating our tropical milkweed to the ground.
Good thing they haven't taken a liking to the milkweed vine, Yet, and I hope they never do, the milkweed vine is our last resort.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
