God Kurt, absolutely beautiful!!

A little advice, please. I just bought my parsley plants, mostly to feed the caterpillars I'm not supposed to call "parsley worms" (I'm in the middle of planting stuff and too lazy to look back at that thread for the proper name) and I realize that I will be going against my friends the birds with this one, but here's the deal: I'm going to plant up a deck box and then put it, where? My herbs are on my upper deck, where the birds aren't allowed, and they seem to know that, hot pepper taught the squirrels, if I put the parsley there, will the "worms" be able to find the parsley, I will have other stuff there to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, bees have already found it - if I put it in a more "woodsy" part of the property, they won't stand a chance even if they find it easily, is that right? Welcome all advice and reassurance Thank You!
