I'll tell you what's next .... Japanese beetles on the zinnias & green beans AND Monarch butterfly caterpillars on the parsley.
I have parsley planted amongst the tomato plants as well as in the herb garden. These caterpillars will absolutely strip the host plants in a few day's time. I've decided to let the caterpillars have the plants in the herb garden, but I'll be removing them from the plants that are in the tomato bed. I'm trying to strike a balance ... surely there's enough to go around for everyone! And I DO like having butterflies around.
