Three Peacocks arrive in the garden

Posted by Andrew on 08/08/201312/03/2017

I was just leaving my house to do my weekly shop – it was about 6:45pm, and not even sunshining – and I spotted three beautiful Peacock Butterflies ‘Inachis io’ on my White Buddleja.

Had to take photos whilst they all sat their gently fanning their wings.

I've been growing things since I was about 5 years old. Now I'm an adult, I'm sowing, nurturing, harvesting and enjoying the blooms in my own gardens. View all posts by Andrew

First #courgette and Cheddar #soup with this year's #harvest. Delicious! But loads of it... 🙄 . . . . #bbcgoodfood #healthyfood #homemade #homegrown #growityourself #growyourownfood #green #veggies #food #foodporn

I've got a #glut of #courgette again and I've got half the number of plants I had last year 😂😂 . . . . #itseasybeinggreen #veg #zuchinni #freshveg #growityourself #growyourownfood #digforvictory #veggies #vegetables #healthyfood #cleaneating #healthyeating #gardening #gardener #instagardeners #inmygarden

So, my #carrots are all kinds of #weird this year 😂😂 . . . . #growityourself #digforvictory #carrot #vintage #healthyfood #veg #healthyeating #freshveg #growyourownfood #vegetables

All transplanted as 3ft #plants, these #sunflowers are in a line in front of my #shed where they enjoy the late morning and early afternoon #sunshine as it goes over my house. I sowed none of these - they originate from the monster #sunflower that I had last year, and like their parent they ALL grew ONLY in my raised bed about 2ft in front of this position and right in the way 🙄🥴. I carefully dug them up and moved them and after a bit of initial floppy shock, they recovered. I had to save them from the slugs. Now they look great. . . #growityourself #selfsown #flowers #yellow #gardening #garden #gardener #nature

My #gladiolus are beginning to #flower and they love my #garden. . . . . #gladioli #growityourself #bulbs #flowers #gardening #mygarden #inmygarden #instagardeners #pretty #growyourown #digforvictory

Tucked under the big #green #courgette (aka #zuchinni) #leaves are these big #yellow welcoming #flowers. I only grew 2 plants this year, as I was inundated with them these last few years 😂😂 . . . . #veggies #freshveg #growityourself #digforvictory #gardening #gardener #garden #growyourown #growyourownfood #healthyfood #cleaneating #healthyeating
