This is what happens when Glenda lets the grass take control of the milkweed bed. Most of the milkweed doesn’t even grow although it still has healthy looking roots. Don’t be like Glenda. Tackle that grass before it takes over completely. You will save yourself a lot of work.
After several hours she got most of the roots out, replanted the milkweed, and hauled away a full tractor bucket of roots. She will try harder next year! But she is not so naive to think some of the grass won’t make an appearance again. But it should be easier to dig.
