Welcome! I am a stay at home mum of two gorgeous boys, proud owner of an online handmade store and an avid gardener. This blog records most of my gardening journey over a few properties. We have recently moved to a new permanent property and it's time to start gardening again! I enjoy time-out in my home garden looking at and photographing birds, insects and plants. It is also a haven for my sons and golden retriever. May you enjoy your visits here. :)

Nasturtium & Capsicum Damage, Chillies
Just as I was getting over some damage in my garden (chilli and oriental radish and snow peas plants being eaten..purple king disappearing...), I suffered another blow. This morning as I was out checking my cayenne pepper, I was glad to find it was not eaten last night after I wrapped a plastic sheet around it. However, I was greeted with worse horror - my capsicum plants at the vege patch was ruined, under the cage! Capsicums eaten half, leaves almost all shredded on one. Fortunately the cuprit left one capsicum plant untouched.These bugs are small enough to get through the holes in the cage. I am beginning to suspect that they were the ones who took my whole purple king, not possums.
My new nasturtiums were not spared either. I have since shifted the first pot of nasturtiums to the front yard to avoid further horror.
