This year we decided to try planting dill again. For a while it looked good, but, one day I noticed that the plant didn't look very healthy. When I had a closer look we could see about 6 green and black caterpillars having a great time chowing down on the plant. We manually picked them off and then dusted around the plant
diatomaceous earth. That seems to have worked as for a week now we have not seen any more bugs and the plant now looks very healthy and starting to seed. We like the plant as when it gets a bit wet we can smell dill in our living room.
The cherry tomato plant is doing very well and we have a good number of green tomatoes growing and a larger number of blossoms. Hopefully in a week or two we will be getting fresh tomatoes every day. The Savoury and Thyme are also doing very well and I will be doing a harvest of fresh herbs and drying them for the winter.
