Violence is everywhere!

Paul from Levin

Surprise, surprise! Violence happens in the world of caterpillars too. The lower of the 3 caterpillars was climbing up to the top of the swan plant stem where the other 2 were feeding on the stem. When the larger of the two feeders felt the climber's presence, it swung its upper body over and down like a punch to the climber's head.😲 Perhaps a bite was included. Result: The largest of the 3 caterpillars turned around and retreated.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
