It has been so nice lately that I have been even more slow than usual doing my blog and so this is all a few days ago now. First of all my friend Helen filled the new mighty carrot box with dirt and we planted them at last.
There is not so much room but we put lots of different kinds in so there would be a choice and anyway some might be quicker to grow than the others so maybe they will last for longer and I had to do some sticks with names on so we did not forget which is which. They are Early Nantes which is supposed to be first and Sugarsnax which is a silly name but they are long and thin and extra sweet apparently then there was some Chantenay which are littler ones and some Sementi which are supposed to be giant size! Anyway they have not poked up their heads yet but I am hoping for something soon because the weather has been so nice and also I am making sure my friend Nick has been watering them because my friend Helen is away for a bit again at her health farn that she likes to go to.
I think I have said before that my friend Helen has got a friend who is called Tamsin and she was having a look through her stuff and found some stickers that she had bought a long time ago when she was on a visit to Japan or it might have been Hong Kong I cannot remember now but anyway she said that I could have them and here is what they look like
so I will say thankyou very much for that which was kind and now I need to send some cards or something so I can stick them on and then people will know that they are from Bun!
On tuesday when the weather was nice and sunny it was time to let all the butterflies go so we took the whole net housey thing out into the garden and then my friend Helen opened the top and used a clothes peg to keep it open.
First of all they was all very excited but did not know what to do and then one of them went out and flew up in the air high as high and suddenly the rest got the idea from him and followed in a line up and up until there was just one left and that one was a bit reluctant as if it was saying "but wait I did not finish my orange yet!" still in the end it went too although it did not go high like the others and then they was all gone. My friend Helen was very pleased although I thought they was a bit rude not to say thankyou or anything and here is a picture of the last one on a flower just after when it was resting and getting its bearings probably.
I have got a picture of the empty chrysalis things that they left behind which is very interesting but is all covered in blood stuff so I think I will leave that picture out because the last one of the butterfly is nicer.
Yesterday my friend Nick was sitting in the sun in the garden and reading his book and one came back and fluttered about for a bit so it is good to know they are still about and that they are happy and can visit if they want to and now we are waiting for some more which is called Peacocks and live on stingy nettles and there are some of those in the graveyard so that should be good for them and also the barking moth one which is not ready yet apparently.
