| 1) Hummingbirds love this pink honeysuckle vine. (I don't remember seeing any on it last year?) |
 |
| 2) Scalding weeds is easier than pulling them. I kept refilling the tea kettle and as it came to a boil, just dumped it on them! |
 |
| 3) It's easy to grow butterflies in a bucket! These are Black Swallowtail caterpillars that I found on my black anise and dill. We give them fresh greens everyday. They just eat and grow! |
 |
| Then they crawl up the side of the little bucket and make their chrysalis. If they attach to a green stem (or a green dot on a bucket...ha) the chrysalis will be green. |
 |
| If they attach to something dark, like this brown plastic honey bee queen excluder that I used for a lid, their chrysalis will then be brown. Cool camouflage, huh? :) Linking up with the Barn Hop #18 over at Homestead Revival. Go check 'em out!  |
That is so cool about the chrysalis colors. I didn't know about scalding weeds either. Thanks for the fun, cool facts.
ReplyDeleteThe chrysalis color changing is hands down the coolest things I've learned this summer. Thank you for sharing!!!
