Herbs
Got the plants from Mulberry Creek Herb Farm on Thursday via USPS. Gave me a couple extra plants because they didn't include shipping in their original quote. I can see why people rave...nice plants, friendly people, didn't overcharge for shipping.
Repotted all the plants. The one they said wasn't rooting had just barely rooted. Hopefully repotting it will give it a boost. Everything looks healthy.
Butterfly
Saw a Giant Swallowtail butterfly in the garden yesterday. The book I have says they aren't common here. It was the largest butterfly I've ever seen. Definitely identified it even though there are a couple other types that look similar. The giant is the only one with light underwings and lots of yellow on the body. The markings on the top of the wings matched well too. It landed on my rue several times. I'm hoping it laid some eggs there or on my fennel. It was flitting about the yard for a good hour or so that I saw.
