The caterpillars were some bird's lunch

Or else they got washed away in the huge storms, dunno...They had made it to almost 2 inches long but then were just gone. I don't see any cocoons on the plants, at least.

I don't THINK baby rabbits eat them...

Now It's All About the Yard...

So we are growing lettuce for the rabbits, peppers and beans for us, sunflowers for fun and the birds...
We've had great butterfly visitors thanks to the prior owner's plants. Now (thanks to a wonderful friend/neighbor) we added some common milkweed , the favorite egg-laying spot of the Monarchs, and It's Working! We just have to hope they make coccoons before they eat the whole tiny plants...they'll be better off next year.
