I’ve been trying to harvest herbs this week to make pestos, herbed cheeses and the like.
Having a garden again after 2 years makes me VERY happy. Every time I had to buy rosemary at the store, I died a little inside.
Anyway, I got all my ingredients together for a rockin’ tabbouleh and when I went out to harvest the parsley….
Whaaaa? Why are there stems where my lush leaves used to be? Oh…well hello there!
It’s the very hungry caterpillar…I think he’ll be happier with the parsley than those old cupcakes anyway. In my last garden, dill was their favorite nosh, with the occasional parsley appetizer, but since my dill is done for the summer…parsley it is. Enjoy little guy..just leave some for me..MmmKay?
Your herb garden look so lush and beautiful. You have carterpilar, I have rabbits, even when I put netting, they seem able to find their way in. I guess we all have to share
I had you caterpillar’s twin sibblings in my garden back in July. I found them before they did much damage and re-homed them to my weed patch. Oh nature… there is always some kind of critter out there making trouble!
Doh! I should have moved them out as I have plenty of weeds….I guess I just assumed if I moved them, they’d just come back…but maybe not.
