I thought I would grow 3 stinging nettle plants and see if the Red Admerial would come and lay eggs. After several weeks I went and checked on on plants only to find them half dead. Strange I thought as you can’t kill weeds. Can you imagine my surprise when I realized the plants aren’t dead but eaten by hungry cats. I put the word our for more stinging nettle to feed my hungry mouths. This also arrived with cats on. I now have 37 crysalises hanging in my castle. I found a ready supply of stinging nettle growing in the local bowling green. I have been making regular visits digging some up to bring home. The other day I went back with spade at the ready only to find they had all been pulled out. Can’t tell you how disapointd I was, not only for the food but some of them had tiny cats on. I hatched my first 4 butterflys last night so am very excited. Makes it all worth will growing nettles for them. I only hope I don’t regret this next year when all the seeds start sprouting. I must be barmey to want to grow stinging nettle.
