My garden has been invaded by Common Milkweed Asclepias syriaca that used to grow closer to the woods. I usually let some of the stems come up inside the fence; they bloom among the herbs and vegetables so their scent fills the air as I weed and tend the crops. This week, they are beginning to open and release that fragrance! The garden is a delight of tomato vines, greens, beans, peas, squash vines, and scented herbs.
