Our Nasturtiums in the edible trough are/were infested with caterpillars. I have taken up everything, the lettuces and the Violas were finished really though I have left the various Thymes, some Borage and the chives. I will re-plant tomorrow with Pak Choi for the winter. Although he is a voracious Cabbage White he is very beautiful!
There is a distinctly Autumny feeling to the days albeit we are still in August and I was clearing up leaves this afternoon when I saw them move of their own volition. On closer inspection, I found a tiny toad. He is hard to see in the photo but worth the find.
The bees are loving the Clematis Bill Mackenzie which we have growing up a trellis just outside the kitchen window. It adds a very lovely brightness to our view.
