This is the first entry into what I hope will be a fun way to keep track of and ruminate on experiences with plants and their allies ( bugs and all ). this first picture was taken last summer in our Fenced Garden area...it's a Tiger Swallowtail caterpillar dining on parsley. I never did find any chrysalis. So I don't know if a bird ate it, or the magic happened unseen by me.Two weeks ago I started what I hope to be a bed of lettuce. A clear plastic clamshell that held purchased lettuce a few months ago is serving as the seed-starter bed. The warm, sunny South-facing window of our bedroom is where the lettuce seedlings share their first days with a 4 year-old potted banana tree and a pot-bound Impatiens brought in to bring cheer throughout the winter.
