Those used to grow like vines up everyone's chainlink fences when I was a kid in Kansas. We used to crack them open and release the seeds and silk into the always blowing Kansas wind. As I told you in previous comments, I have no Milkweed seeds this year due to aphids. HOWEVER...an hour ago, I received one of those seed container cases you mentioned one or two videos back. I got the 48 container version (42 small + 6 large containers.) They included a bunch of stuff not listed in the description (collapsible funnel, seed sorter tray, adjustable covered seed dispenser, labels, and seed envelopes.) Very sturdy, yet compact. An excellent buy for $23! THANKS Anna!!!

I have thousands of seeds blown all over my garden. I'm sure I am good for next year:P

[@BrightLaneGardens]

Hahah I think a lot of people feel this way ;) I do like to collect the seeds so I have more control over where the new milkweed sprouts up, but mother nature does what mother nature wants to do in the end!
