They're back!

Post by Bush bunny »

I noticed today blow flies and cabbage butterflies are back, and I saved one bee who flew into the house, and I captured it and let it out. I have a magpie, cheeky thing when ever we are working on the bonsai or turning earth he's there (It is a he) comes up really close too. He's begging for food. Must be nesting now.
I don't like cabbage butterflies. But its getting warmer during the day in Armidale. Inside temps now are 15 C not 10C, almost time to let the Zygoes go outside.

The birds keep the snail and scales down you know. If you spray sugar and water, l tsp of sugar to one liter of water, it will not only attract bees but aphid eating lady birds.

Nite everyone, yours in bonsai, BB or Pat :wave:
