We've had good luck in the past attracting Eastern Black Swallowtail caterpillars to parsley, so we decided to invite them back. We created a simple herb box from an old cookie cutter tin with holes poked in the bottom. Big B planted the parsley with some family-favorite-basil. I hope to see caterpillars soon.
I feel so lucky that our boys can watch caterpillars morph into butterflies.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLQFOVctdp_Nf7JYg7kUei3wpQaTGnnVKdgNfdWgaspcMFAximevKTDL0sUzshyphenhyphenkT9b4BAdNHNHdj01WM59OvPF-Jf-AkEtyIVyljYsToIqIQda_rK4sKvkUOPWcRsB5tM5MQoiqy6Zrw/s400/planting.JPG)
Taking a walk in our backyard, we discovered many new tangerines and a few lone mangoes clinging to our old tree.
I feel so lucky that our boys can watch fruit ripen and fall, and give way to new flowers and new fruits next year.
To create a fluffy green for centerpiece for our little learning garden, we finally dusted off the Chia Tree that Noni gave Big B for Christmas a couple of years ago. We soaked the little clay pot and the seeds, and we will plant them tomorrow.
I feel so lucky that our boys can watch seeds sprout and grow into things much greater than themselves.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm5u9i8pfSLeClsEg8dX-QlSqHfY93KHwQyIYSlbWAlH5TQXIYTliO346u_EyUESKIJQ2SpPG4VyCdgY4ZIMsMCy2sm015SurE7c2B1IyocrMrrsPavuUQhXTJanVOsbjT0pLATGnsCHQ/s400/soaking+chia.JPG)
