A few carrots, ( yes they are small but DELICIOUS!), some purple bunching onions- at least we are getting some harvest in the garden. The plants you can see on the left of the carrots are amaranth- good for greens and for grain if you let them go that long. Some tiny little tomatoes have set, and the beans are growing like weeds.

about ready to harvest. It has been a long, cool rainy season.

caterpillar in questionI suspect the Cabbage White Butterfly,
Pieris rapae. According to this website, the cabbage white butterfly is the most common in the Americas, and is predated on by mockingbirds, robins, cardinals, and oddly, the Pennsylvania Firefly. Since we have all of these in abundance in the garden, I am hoping not to see many more caterpillars.
