Don't feel bad... :-)

I have chives too! They re-seed themselves heavily every year.

One other would be Fennel to feed the baby swallowtails.
It helps keep them off the dill and parsley. Or just grow extra parsley

That is one caterpillar I let "have it's way" with my herbs except for
my dill. I just move the critters.
