I remember seeing them around the daylilies once, but I can't remember what else they liked. I know I didn't have any lavender or zinnias then.

The yellow swallowtails here like my echinacea, so maybe the zebras will too. I am going to be looking out for the zebra butterfly here in Alexandria Virginia, having never seen one.

I didn't get around to planting my main crop of garlic until spring this year. Seems to be growing OK, but I'm not sure how good the bulbs will be. We'll know soon.

I'm a huge garlic fanatic, but have never planted it...I think this has motivated me to get some in the ground this fall. Mmm…garlic butter sounds fantastic!

We eat a lot of garlic, probably more than is socially acceptable, but if everybody ate it then nobody would notice.

I'm thinking of leaving them alone and calling them bonsai ;-) Hope the garlic grows well for you! My lavender plants are about 3 years old and starting to get woody too.
