The Caterpillars Have Arrived!

Soon, there will be Swallowtail butterflies in my garden again. The first caterpillars are already gorging themselves on the dill and parsley I have planted to welcome them.

Green Tomato, Frying Not Required

This is one tomato that will not make it to my kitchen! The Tomato Hornworm is incorrectly named, because it's a caterpillar, not a worm. But it's a spectacular creature and in my garden at least it's welcome to all the tomatoes it wants to consume.
