Maybe this is one of our dill-lovin' friends from this summer! I hope this means we will have more this year.
It's a battle of wills every summer as we watch our garden get overtaken by wave upon wave of critters that want to eat our food. Growing our garden without chemicals is something we have to make ourselves do some days. But seeing this lovely thing flitting around the henbit is reminded me that we aren't the only ones trying to eat. We don't need it all. Maybe someday, I'll figure out how to keep the grasshoppers and stink bugs and aphids out easily. But until then, I'll do the hard work for the butterflies and the bees.
