It's National Pollinator Week!

They're not only cute little dickens but they are working hard for all of us to propagate plants of nutritional, aesthetic and other value.

(and others)

For the second year in a row, a black swallow tailed butterfly laid eggs on our parsley plant. We bought two plants this year, one is for us and one is for the caterpillars. Looking forward to seeing them eat, gro and become butterflys. Last year we started with 10 caterpillars, three made it to cucoons but only one made it to be a butterfly. Hoping for better success this year.
