Queen Anne's lace, IMO, should never be encouraged. Bronze fennel (a perennial for me in zone 7) can be invasive but can also be controlled; just pluck out the seedlings. Growing parsley for personal use requires growing something they prefer; BF works.

Here is a fun geek task.......
Pick one of these caterpillars off your plant and shake him up in your hand.....
Now smell your hand........Priceless, you will now never forget that subtle smell.
In fact I will go out of my way to make that happen....because you will only smell it once a year.
I don't have any of them here but did do a little reading on the subject. Subtle? I have a sneaky feeling you were trying to set me up. Have fun smelling your fingers!
