Oh....the dreaded lily beetle, they decimate plants here too I am considering stopping growing them. I find moving them around each year helps so I try to grow them in pots.xxxSnowbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572555410663928295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-71330975322572479672018-07-22T08:47:13.915-04:002018-07-22T08:47:13.915-04:00Your garden is looking lovely!

It's wonderful to finally have some rain today. And I see you have been to Costco - the bee hotels were so inexpensive, I couldn't resist and bought two of them :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15949946977793864054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-73248650498017711232018-07-21T18:11:58.141-04:002018-07-21T18:11:58.141-04:00Yes, our books are so important.

I remember one point where the main character (I forget her name at the moment) wondered what the tipping point was. Where was the place everyone could have turned it around? Makes me think everytime something else crazy happens (which is every. single. day!) I'll be exploring that website for sure. If you liked 'Practical Magic' you would like 'The Rules of Magic.' I like that author anyway tho so maybe I'm biased?!!

I think next time if I have a gathering of cats I will take them in the house to get them as close to "becoming" what they should be. I have a large parsley pot too but they seem to really go for the dill over the parsley .. Yes birds can't help themselves of course but we can employ little tricks to help the cats .. I bought more cheesecloth ! LOL<br />Good luck with any more that you have Rose : )<br /><br />Thank you so much Sandra : ) Loved seeing the beach theme !<br /><br />Hello Sarah ..

My sharp-eyed little grandson noticed one day that there were 4 caterpillars on a parsley plant. I ran to the local nursery to buy more parsley, since they had completely stripped that plant, and got a bonus two caterpillars on the plants I bought:) Unfortunately, after a few days I found only one caterpillar, and last night I noticed even he was gone. I'm afraid the birds have been picking them off for their dinner:( I did notice one new baby, though, and I have finally put some screen around him for protection from the birds. On a happier note, your garden looks gorgeous, Joy!

Yes .. you would think they would at least get a whole summer to live and breed .. such a beautiful little creature.<br /><br />Hi Robin .. I am thinking I should have brought all the cats in too .. next time this happens I think that is what I am going to do, just to safeguard them .. I have never had the opportunity to have Monarchs .. that would be wonderful as well ! <br /><br />Lisa girl hello there : ) Thank you so much ... but now we are in that "tatty" cycle .. plants are becoming heat exhausted .. I should supplement the sprinkler system watering but in this heat .. well it is dicey for me .. I am so looking forward to Fall already of course ..LOL<br /><br />Thank you so much Peter .. funny how some plants seem to tell you what space they need to be happy .. I transplanted this one a couple of times .. didn't think it would go that well where it is .. and BOOM ! it thrived .. so I do understand what you mean .. it is a matter of luck to find just the right place for them at times.<br /><br />Hello Jason, thank you ! .. yes .. when I read that it really struck me .. such a short life span for such a beautiful little miracle .. I am disgusted by the lily beetles .. they are one of the most gross destroying insects .. I hope to scoop up as much as possible to get rid of them but in this heat I haven't been able to be out there doing that .. ugh!CanadianGardenJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18130452541076704075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726816697009103332.post-14899081665567757322018-07-16T22:38:36.074-04:002018-07-16T22:38:36.074-04:00It is sad that Black Swallotails have such brief l...It is sad that Black Swallotails have such brief lives.

I have four different instars of caterpillar in my kitchen at this very moment, plus two still in eggs.
