Hillary Eco-Warriors have been sowing. Their cauliflower seeds have germinated and are growing well. Now we are waiting for their (purple and orange) carrot seeds to germinate.
Seeds need three things to germinate: Water, Warmth & Oxygen
(They don't actually need sunlight until they have leaves)
This little fellow was found crawling on Isabella. Who can identify it?:
Thanks to the Bugman, Ruud Kleinpaste, who we met at the Bioblitz at Kepa Bush, we have now identified this creature. It is a Whitefringed Weevil. It eats the leaves and its larvae eat the roots of plants. Not known to eat schoolchildren!
