Veggie Patch

Today is all about redoing the vegie patch. Getting rid of carrots and parsnips. Planting strawberries, chives, parsley, rocket and mint.

We like to garden with friends. Here is one of them...




His full name is Marmaduke Hubbard (lives in a cupboard). But we like to call him Ginnie.

It's Waspalicious

Last night when Sean and I were having dinner outside I saw a Praying Mantis on the lemon tree.
Then I saw a European Wasp land right near him on the tree. The Praying Mantis starting doing the 'I'm a leaf blowing in the breeze' walk and came right up behind the wasp and grabbed it. I was so excited; I thought the wasp might actually sting Mr. Mantis, but he won and ate him head first!!

Then after he'd finished eating and cleaning himself I picked him up and he was just looking at me. I love him. This morning I went out to the lemon tree and Mr. Mantis was still there so I said hello.

Meanwhile Ginny was just 'bok bok bok'-ing around and looking for a place to get comfy.
