It's Hot!



Very hot today, 30 degrees C on our thermometer. Cats don't seem to mind too much, even with a fur coat. Look at that smile!



My parsnips have not germinated after nearly 6 weeks. I will have to put in another packet of seeds. They're a worry. Those strings are to stop cats digging.



Here's something I bet you didn't know. Monarch Butterflys have 6 legs, but you only really see 4 if you look at them. The front two are rudimentary and have special spikes and sensors so they can tell (a) this is a swan plant and (b) no-one else has laid an egg on this particular leaf. So there you go, one egg per leaf!
