More garden explorers, Lewis Ginter


Week 1. Plants that eat living things and leaves that are touch sensitive... science fiction didn't seem so weird for once.

Week 2.  We got into pond dipping and lifted some May flies out before returning them to the murky shallows to await their one day ascension back above the water surface. There were fish in there too and little frantic bugs... it was hard to put the net down, until the fish food was offered and then we were off feeding turtles and trying to spot black snakes.

Ended the steamy morning playing a drum kit made from tree trunks and gourds - natural play just got seriously cool.
