Blue tits and robins do not eat cauliflower. I don't know exactly why. Perhaps their digestive systems can't cope and they get upset tummies, or perhaps they just don't like the taste. Pigeons don't seem to mind eating uncooked cabbage.
Anyway what nature does is to arrange for the caterpillars to eat the cauliflower plant, and then the little birds can eat the caterpillars. It's a sort of fancy recycling to feed little birds.
A few lucky caterpillars might escape being eaten, and they'll grow up into butterflies or moths of some kind. Life is a bit of a lottery when you're a caterpillar.
Well been out in the garden. And spent an hour or so in the deckchair in the sunshine reading a book. Decided the weeding can wait for a day! All excited, new Dr Who series this evening.
What I don't like are the little grey slugs you get in lettuce. They really put me off, I have used no end of salt in the washing water. ugh. horrible
Anyway I have done my last cat feeding/watering duty today so it's back to normal, no more flying around between 3 houses, managed not to set burglar alarm off.
Getting ready for a BBQ, must get sweet potato wedges in the oven.
it taxied along the ground after landing, the Pilot came later by parachute.

Dean, I shall certainly be larger when OH gets back with Chinese takeaway especially as we had fishandchips only a couple of nights ago. Still, after a tiring day trudging back and forth along Bournemouth seafront, we think deserve a no-cook-no-wash-up meal.
Kit the cat is still in residence. I'm trying to get a decent piccie but he won't leave me alone.
Managed to get a few hours in the garden, pulling up all the grass that has been invading from next door's garden. Attacked the phygellus but it's running all over the place. Just when I needed OH to help digging up the remains of the figwort (I know I should never have given it house room) he was having a nap. You just can't rely on them!
Sounds like that kitten is right at home, Flo! Why were you trudging up and down the promenade? Did I miss something earlier? Did you have a sandwich board with posters of the kitten?
Flo! Chinese too! n pogged out! Now home, Plant hosptal needs attention! Pic's to follow! n have a tale to tell regarding my own grown veggies now the season coming to an end! But really thinking I shouldn't! But then thinking I should, to raise awareness!!
Glorious day today. Cut the grass after a week and a half, been to town with me rents and now currently sat in the lounge going nuts because I cannot watch Doctor Who until Jade gets home at 8
Here's the link for Heligan let me know if it works

Good Evening All!
My job in Carlisle is done!
Just catching up, but left my TV/Computer glasses in the hotel room.
You are all a little larger this evening!

Chris this is the problem I have with lettuce, mine have the slightest hint of a bug and it really puts me off.
Flo that kitten does not seem to be missing anyone?
I have had bacon and chips will need to do extra digging tomorrow.
