In our garden

Today we spent a lot of time in the garden. Granny helped Isla get some water and Isla spent some time pretend painting the garage door. They also did lots of real painting and secret ice cream eating when I wasn't looking! They went to the park too and had various tea parties and played at shops.

We have a few extra pets these days: a grasshopper in a jar and some caterpillars on the nasturtium leaves. Here are the caterpillars, which hatched yesterday and today:

The caterpillars hatched from yellow eggs:

They will turn into cabbage white butterflies. As well as nasturtiums, we have tomato plants which have just started to set:

We also have some triffid-like courgette plants and we ate the first courgettes from them this evening with our dinner:

The rest of the vegetable patch/sunny flower bed is looking nice too:
