Wellll.... I can see that being a problem... ;)   Dunno where our
milkweed came from, it appeared on its own in my peony strip, and I
decided not to get rid of it... It's been there now for a number of
years...  ;)  It's probably re-seeding itself...  :)

Well, yeah, as I typed it, that fleeting thought did cross my mind...
these fish probably enjoy their gourmet meal(s) a lot better...  (G) 
And they are quite tasty in return... I ended up with a couple of them
when he hadn't finished eating out his fridge/freezer before it was time
to leave and close up for the winter.... They'd gone from pond to
freezer, and then stayed frozen to my freezer, from whence they went to
a hot oven... And from there to our plates...  ;)
