I have planned my veg garden for next year, picked the seeds I require
(not
able to order as Suttons web page has problems :-( ) Dug over, manured
or
limed all empty beds, never managed that before, but nature has been very
kind.
Feeling very complacent I was walking my territory when on passing my
brussels, horror of horrors my Xmas dinner was being eaten by cabbage
white
caterpillars, checked calendar, yes it is mid November. So smugness etc
waned, and I thought, what drought, flood or pestilence will nature come
up
with to balance the last few weeks?

Good evening,

Me and my neighbour spent a confused minute or two watching a Red Admiral (I
assume that is what it was, as it was mainly red!) fluttering between our
gardens today.

I'm no expert on butterflies - or insects full stop, for that matter - but I
assume that butterflies should not be flying around this time of year - or
for that matter a bee shouldn't have been flying around the living room
today!

Cheers,


Andrew
