We’ve got a new blogger today, every Friday ECOutlet’s Marco will be amusing us with his own personal take on leading a greener lifestyle starting with the Hungry Caterpillar Dilemma…
Recently I’ve been trying to grow my own fennel bulb because I was fed up of buying long range vegetables from the Waitrose. I never really believed I would cultivate a big fat fennel bulb but I knew I could show off a little and garnish something with it’s feathery tops. Then the caterpillar came along and dashed all my fennel garnishing dreams in one dreadful night of gorging and bingeing on the patio!
A true gardener would probably have taken the juicy grub between his green vengeful fingers and crushed him..pop. I decided to be a lttle more New Testament about the whole sorry saga and instead sent him into exile (above the kitchen window!). Now this is where is gets really sad, we have since named him and feed him vegetable tit bits each night after supper…in case you’re wondering, he’s called David Banner.
