The garden treasures continue to amaze us.
The orchids, four days later.
In the pond, the carcass of a hatched dragonfly grub. We had seen these once or twice flitting in the pond, but never been able to get a photo. They are a scary-looking creature.
Lots of flowers are coming on the lemon trees. However, we haven't been getting any fruit, so we will try to get some anti-ant sticky tape for the trunk to stop the ants robbing the nectar.
After harvesting the first artichoke, we rapidly gained another three. Very pleased with this plant.
Never seen one of these before. According to Google, it is a spotted fritillary caterpillar
A new baby moringa tree planted out in a protective bit of plastic bottle.
Another new one: a fabulous shield bug.
One of our many bean harvests. Lovely when lightly boiled or steamed for a few minutes. Now we know how to get broad beans - plant them in October!
Dave in a purple haze
And a pink one.
First of the love-in-the-mist flowers has appeared.
