Hear ya about the wind Linda... Hard to get butterflies to light. I love your cocoon pics in the last thread.

I was thinking the same thing when I put out the bait MrsEd, Mourning Cloak, lol.

Cindy, All the herbs for BSTs were planted last year, because the fennel and parsley are very hardy here in north TX. I put them right in the ground in the host bed. I let the parsley go to seed and replant itself. The fennel plants look like they are the same ones from last year, as the have thick stalks above the root line. They are all over 2' tall. The green fennel was from seed I bought from the spice section of the grocery store.

Nice Duskywing nanny!
