preparations

Yes, I have to learn what is planted where and what to do with it while Alan is away... Though Jozsi and Marika will both help when necessary, so we'll be ok... Of course the goats can sense something from Alan's anxiety and they jumped the electric fence today... and there are now lettuce, reddish, kholrabi, onion plants and lot's of pea plants growing nicely... we are over the usual worrying period when we are convinced that nothing would grow this year... The photo is a word document, so I have no idea how it will look. I couldn't figure out ow to send the blown-up picture, it always wanted to reverse to the original non-blown-up. Anyhow, it's a gorgeous looking beetle, about an inch and a half, couldn't find it in the book. Hm. It did not do it. Bloody technology things.
So here goes the non-blown version, use your own blow up glass dears... and let me know what the xcxc it is.
