- a giant compost heap in front of our house
- rhinoceros beetle grubs in said compost heap (they're gross!!! about the size of your thumb and you can see the insides.....ewww)
- worries whenever the mosquito check guy from the Ministry of the Environment comes by.
- moth pupae that you can watch as they hatch
But best of all, it means the kids learn about nature from nature - not just from books. (And as they've discovered, its much messier than in the books)
Beth's gardening Adventure:
Beth finds a potato
- for some reason, there is a lonely potato sitting along our corridor
- for some reason, there is a lonely potato sitting along our corridor
"I will plant it!" she says (Cuteness almost wins over praticality)
Papa to the rescue (the cute pot is reluctantly given up)
Good to go! Now we wait!
Here's Mummy getting back to nature:
I think I overdid it with the ink a bit 'cos you can hardly see the bird in the cage, but...oh well.

ReplyDeleteSo you probably know this because of your gardener, but the rhinoceros beetle is stronger than any other animal on the planet, in relation to its size. Or so we heard ages ago on a nature show. My daughter tries to explain its stronger than an elephant and people just think she's nuts! Ha!
