“I started with two swamp milkweeds in my proud weed garden in Foggy Bottom. I labeled all of my plants, which were all edible weeds, such as lambquarter, Virginia Pepper Plant, and lemon balm, plus a hopeful butterfly garden with milkweeds. The swamp milkweeds seeded, but we saw no butterflies. I harvested the seeds, wintered them in my fridge, and put them in this spring. Seven plants survived.

When I came back out a few hours later, it was still eating through the swamp milkweed leaves ravenously. Then, it was suddenly gone.

In the rodent justice system, the reality is represented by two separate, yet equally important groups: the Rodent and Vector Control Division, who seek to eradicate them, and the people with very big hearts, who seek to save all rodents. These are their stories.
