Whisky, wooden boats, gardening, community, geography, books, more books, some more books, #Switzerland (I work there), #Jersey ( I live there), did I mention books?, France (what’s not to like??? Actually… I’ll not get started, but still), charcoal drawing, more gardening because that’s soul food, hard liquor, old religious buildings (now I am a less angry atheist), crafted beautiful music, books, the Zen of fly fishing and fly tying

Hi Gardners and insect people - I need some advice: we have had an exciting visitor to the garden - an Old World Swallowtail butterfly. I didn’t see it but we had a small number of caterpillars. We found them on the mass of fennel I have let grow outside our door. Sadly though: only one seems to have made it to chrysalis stage. Birds got the rest. I have now found one more on a different plant: about half size so far. So should I remove it and keep it somewhere away from the birds? #gardening
