* Chard loves me this year. I planted both white-stemmed chard and colored-stemmed chard. I’ve got one nice yellow-stemmed plant, some tiny red-stemmed ones, and many giant white-stemmed ones. The white-stemmed chard definitely grew much better.
* Swallowtails love me too. Last year I planted a bunch of extra fennel for the caterpillars and never saw any. This year I didn’t plant extra, and there are at least half a dozen giant caterpillars munching away on it. I’d have a photo for you, but my camera refused to focus.
