Comparison

After posting about potting up my seedlings, I decided to do a comparison of those I put in the ground and those I had left overcrowded (and recently potted up from the original container).
I am hoping this is swamp milkweed, but I will be happy if it is common milkweed--I want both (but I don't have swamp milkweed in the yard yet--I really have to do a better job of labeling).

Getting them in the ground sooner, or direct sowing should be my goal--but having robust potted plants to add as needed is great, too.  I am hoping potting them up will give me good results.  I need to prepare more ground for planting
