I plant the fennel just to draw in the Black Swallowtails. If you saw my PaD
on Sunday http://www.pbase.com/image/31204523 it was of
of fennel. That bit of fennel is now gone, and it is covered
with larva....they are getting fat and happy, which I'm happy about.

I'm only home for a moment. They put my husband in the hospital
for tests and I came home to water the absolutely necessaries.
He was so weak that I had a hard time getting him out of bed this
morning, and it took two nurses to do it at the hospital, so I
guess it is good that he is there. Hopefully it won't be for long.
