Poor Year So Far

[Lurganspade]

.
Not many butterflies seen here up to now, but the last 3 days there has been loads of small blues, some browns, one Peacock and far too many whites for my liking.

Also the Leaf Cutter Bees have hatched in the greenhouse, they excavate under the cacti plants, and carry next doors rose leafs in, for their egg laying,they do not touch my roses.

In the end I get fed up with their buzzing and antics, I catch them up and take them with in the car, and let them go some distance away. If I take them a short distance away they are soon back!

Cheers

The weather these past few days brings new meaning to the term 'hardening off'. Greenhouse doors and windows wide-open and most moveable plants outside!

The first trusses have set on my Sungold tomatoes and the Shirley aren't far behind.
Things are certainly looking good.
