One for the Farmer.......
« on: July 20, 2009, 18:44:37 »


   ....one for the crow ?  someone tell me the rest ?

   Call me a silly old fool if you like, but have let several of my nasturtians go to the white butterfly,
    and the birds via catterpillars -- if there is a food sorce there.

   Have some Pak Choi in a trough near where I ' sit ',  said butterfly has been very interested judging by
   the holes in the leaves ! and has fluttered over my hand as I tried to stop her laying her eggs.

   Black netting 1/2 inch [ sorry metric peeps ] square,  should deter her I thought !   Watched today
   while she fluttered around the netting  - found a leaf, hooked her front legs onto it  - and through the
    netting - deposited her large cache of eggs !

    Had to give it to her --   what a gal ,

One for the mouse and one for the crow,
One to rot and one to grow.

There are other versions.
