How long will milkweed last...

[ajkmt]

in a closed container in the fridge? I have 50+ cat to feed into the begining of September. Farmers are staring to cut their fields where we were gathering our milkweed. If I would go pick a few ice cream buckets full would they last in the fridge till Sept?
Thanks, Jo

Already released 7 monarchs, have 30 chrysilis, 67 cats! Best year yet!

I've learned alot from this site but one of the best things i've learned is put milkweed leaves in a plastic bag (leave it open some) and put it in the frig. I've put them in water and they mold and wilt. The best sucess i've had is the frig.
