Mixed Emotons

[Derald]

Black swallowtail larvae in the parsley. Just bad timing, I guess.

What's the conflict?

They are the only reason that I plant parsley. Is it supposed to be edible?

(Have common milkweed established too, but no butterfly interest yet.)

[Pat Kiewicz]

For some reason they tore through my fennel and left all the dill alone. No fennel "bulbs" this year, even though I set out some pretty substantial transplants. (Direct seeded fennel never gave me anything but leaves.)

Dill I never have to bother to plant anymore. (Same thing goes for shiso.)

They don't call dill a weed for no reason. After planting just a little of the the stuff many years ago I still smell dill when I cut the grass anywhere near the garden. A neighbor wanted some seed to plant a few years back, I just smiled and said take all you want, its a plant that just keeps giving.

It's, I, I say, it's a *joke* son. I worry 'bout that boy.
