Thank you for spotting the caterpillar Evelyn. :)

I did try the RFH mushroom for them for 3 days, got one, so tried again today with SF which I think helped x

Hi Evelyn, sorry I deleted your message by mistake so can’t reply to it. I’m in Majorca now sitting in an air conditioned room, bliss after being so hot at home. We spent all morning in the pool, the temperature here is low 30’s but at least you have the pool and aircon. I’m relaxing in our room now before getting ready to go out.
I managed to do all the quest for June and won a pot. I don’t much like the pots this month but I’ve done the easy quest and I’m about halfway through the intermediate one.
I had best jump in the shower now, hope you are enjoying your weekend x

Your very welcome Evelyn you helped me a lot when no other gardens were available
I was very grateful xxxxx🤗💕🤗😀

I Will Evelyn I sent you a little gift for setting your garden up for me I hope to do the same for others but am having a break first 🤗💕😀🤗

No further sign of the cat nor the kestrel, thank goodness. I've lost three chickens to a peregrine falcon that installed itself in the neighbourhood. It's very upsetting. Always the slightly dopey chickens that don't run away fast enough. Wish my chickens were more like the chickens in the YouTube video attacking a bird of prey that landed in their run... Anyway, few pests at the moment. No sign of mice, or mites, or rats. I'm constantly vigilant 😂

More message ~ how odd about the cat going missing for periods of time. I've had that experience a couple of times, one cat that 'went to live' with a neighbour. He'd been missing a few days and I went round asking about him and the woman in the house behind us said he was asleep inside and perhaps he'd come back to us when he was ready. Needless to say I never set eyes on him again. Another cat was obviously hanging out somewhere else, he used to come back covered in flea powder and sometimes wearing a collar. I wondered sometimes how worried that person might have been when we moved and the cat came with me...

Hello Evelyn ~ I guess it's a good thing if you're not broiling in Scotland. I was in London last week for a dental appointment and it was hotter than Spain. It was awful. I was sweating sat still in the shade... Two more dental visits catching up after the several bad years of negligent work by french nazi trained dentists. They're truly dreadful. Barely more evolved than a man with pliers at the roadside...

I have done all the gnomes at least 3 times and one of them 4 times and 3 of them are all facing the same direction.  I am not doing anymore.  If I feel like it, I will buy and sell in the marketplace when summer is over.  I think I it is random.  I have noticed over the past year or so that Mike seems to have the critters programmed to appear for short intervals and then it rotates.  I have seen too many back to back white mice, rainbow dragons, etc to not think it is programming.  He probably uses that with everything.  So all the orange gnomes that are from RFH sunflowers that stopped growing at the same time will all have right facing wheelbarrows.  It's random but also programmed.
The July pots are pretty bleh except for the  advanced one.  I am toying with the idea of doing it, although I think participating in any of the pot lotteries makes it more likely Mike will keep whipping them out.  And I honestly have other things that I like to do too, like read and catch up on some TV shows!
