Before I could harvest my dill this morning, I realized it wasn’t mine anymore. 💚
Both of my dill plants are covered in Black Swallowtail caterpillars, happily munching away. I was planning to cut it all down today anyway, but I think they’ve claimed it first…
As a first year gardener, I’ve been learning that my garden isn’t always just for me. Sometimes it’s creating a little space where butterflies, bees, ladybugs, and all the tiny helpers feel at home.
So the dill stays. 🐛🦋
I can’t wait to watch these little guys grow and, hopefully, see them return as butterflies in a few weeks.
