What on earth are you looking at? Good question. I spent all weekend trying to photograph the garden spider in its web (and its web).
It’s a lovely black, yellow and green spider that is hanging in its web by the black pot. You’re a better person than I am if you can spot it in the photo.
As I was scouring my 15 photos, trying to decide which one might look like something at least, I did see something that I completely overlooked IRL, as the kids say.
I knew that my parsley was getting eaten but we have had so many rabbits this year I just assumed it was rabbits. Silly me.
In the photo, I saw the real culprit and I was thrilled: there are swallowtail butterfly caterpillars on the parsley. Yay! I guess they feel safe nestled in there in among the other herbs. But wow, who would have expected the butterflies to find the parsley there?

Hey, you have sweet bay on the left. I know it is irrelevant, but it got my attention. The native bay looks similar, but is very different and can ruin a recipe if substituted straight across. It can be used as a substitute, but not in the same proportions; and the stronger flavor is very different.
Oh yes. I have had it for several years as you can see by the size. I winter most of my herbs on an unheated sunporch–warm enough that they don’t die and yet cold enough that they don’t develop insects or diseases so that I can’t cook with them. You might remember my “Polar Vortex ” post last winter when I actually had to bring them into the house. I think that the bay wasn’t in the photo but the mint (which isn’t in this photo–chocolate spearmint) was.
