Growing my own butterflies

Well I'm growing my own butterflies. I was growing brussel sprouts, and very nicely they were doing. I noticed a couple of holes in some of the leaves, and a couple of white butterflies hanging about. I need to by some netting. I'd read in a book that these butterflies like cabbages / sprouts etc and I needed netting to protect them. That was a few weeks ago, and I'd been busy at work .......... and basically forgot. Till I went and looked at them tonight. Almost all the leaves are now full of holes and I have a nice crop of over 40 caterpillars.

Wonder if anyone wants butterflies for Christmas this year, rather than sprouts !!!!

It's very Green isn't it ..................

Well this is my first attempt at a Blog ....... how long I will actually manage to keep it up for goodness only knows, I have the attention span of a gnat ........... but here goes. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

My page is very green, not Green as in Eco friendly, but as in the colour green.

I'm sure I will find out how to change this to a more calming and sophisticated colour, like I see on so many other Blogs, with a nice fancy banner at the top, but that will be for another day. My intention today is to get some words down so I have something for people to read.

What people !!! who will be interested in what a 49 year old woman has to say about what she did today. Gosh it's not like I even got out of the house.

Just stuck to my laptop working all day - a bowl of poridge, 2 black coffees, 2 bags of snack a jacks (well I have the dreaded weigh in at fat club tonight) and a mug of ovaltine - threw the boat out with that one - and sat on my bum all day in the office!

Could it get any more exciting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
