Bear With Me

By David Marsden @anxiousgardener

I haven’t posted for a while.

I’ve been busy with non-blogging stuff, like intently studying this wasp nest on the east lawn.

Excavation continues and it’s getting bigger.  As you might suppose, mowing operations have been diverted.

Peacock

And I’ve been distracted by the sheer number of butterflies on the new verbena beds.

A Comma

And other, non-insect diversions including a short holiday.  And I’m about to go off again – on a cycling tour of Germany.  Which sounds very tiring.

And a new species for me – a Painted Lady

I’ll be back in a couple of weeks with steely calves … or ones of jelly.

Yesterday

When I really ought to do a post about the tropical border.  I’ve been quite pleased with it this year.  (If only because it almost hides that huge satellite dish).

Until normal service might be resumed, I’ll raise a bratwurst to you.  Wiedersehen.
