Relax and take it easy
The weather this summer is so erratic that a sunny day is something to savour.
Time to relax and stare at the garden.
Easygardener has an espresso in the garden
Time to relax and admire the the tiny flower growing in this pot.
Arthropodium candidum 'Purpureum'
Time to ……aaarrgh……!
Synchronised nibbling
Caterpillars of the Large Cabbage White Butterfly on the Cress plant I am saving for seed.
It has a lot fewer leaves than it started off with.
Perhaps I should have stayed indoors!

I have just spluttered all my tea – you make me chuckle so much, a real ray of happy sunshine

PS I Like the new header pictures, or are they not new and I have only just noticed?

Arghhh! Those caterpillars are very impolite! Spoiling a nice relaxing peruse of the garden. Love the cup in hand, just perfect. Not those rude fellows on the cress however. The nerve!

Synchronized nibbling is a wonderful title! Too bad it’s happening to your seed plant! The fiends! gail
Love the new header, and the garden looks fantastic too. We get lots of Large Whites in the garden, but very few caterpillars. I think they breed on the common. I don’t know why I said that, I’m probably tempting fate and will have a caterpillar plague next year!
Damn caterpillars. You have to keep a beady eye open for those. They can strip a plant of its leaves in no time. Pesky things.
Naughty caterpillars! But what really caught my eye is your espresso cup, as we’ve got one like that!
Love the first shot of the path through your garden. It has peaked my curiosity to see what’s around the bend.
Bad caterpillars, leave those seedheads alone. Now shoo!
‘Synchronised nibbling’ is too funny!! I hope something will remain?! Love the first shot too. I find it difficult to photograph tiny blooms. You did great!
Big year in the garden for pests here, too. At least the caterpillars are cute? Your garden looks fantastic, doesn’t look tired at all for the end of August. Wish I could say the same. Love that Arthropodium candidum ‘Purpureum’
I too love the first picture. I am enticed to walk down that path and discover what is around the corner.
If you have stayed indoors it could have inflicted more serious damage
There seem to be vast numbers of Cabbage Whites about this year on our allotment. One of the pother plot holders was lurking about with a net to catch them the other day. He was giving my buddleia a dirty look as he went about his business.
