Thread: What's in your garden?

Two sunny days of Spring and these bluebells have shot up..

Not our own garden, daughter home last night with bags of mangosteen picked yesterday afternoon, first of the season; a change from the varying types of durian she's been bringing me

I really like mangosteen but have learnt never to eat it if wearing a half decent shirt. The slightest bit of juice causes brown stains that will never come out.


We've had a lot of rain lately in Korat which has brought out all the frogs and centipedes... and this bugger which somehow made it into the house. I had an early night in preparation for the England game the other night and was awoken by the daughter screaming around 10pm. It was swept up in a dust pan and brush and deposited over the wall into the dog killer neighbour's garden.



With the frogs, out come the snakes. On the dog walk this morning we saw this young Burmese python which hadn't made it across the road during the night. This is the first evidence of a python around these parts that I've seen for many years, but I guess it's parents must be around somewhere.

Blood and intestines and the like... I've had complaints before from sensitive types.
