Little Arabella Miller….

"Little Arabella Miller
Found a hairy caterpillar
First she put it on her brother
Then upon her old grandmother
Gran said, "Arabella Miller,
Take away your caterpillar."


Taking a casual stroll around the garden looking for a Blip I noticed that a whole clump of nasturtiums were looking bedraggled, just like they do after the first frosts nip them.  A closer inspection revealed a plague of caterpillars.  Haven't had that problem before and I've lived here for 20 years.  My grandmother's 'country cottage' garden used to get attacked every year and she told me they were cabbage white caterpillars.  That was over 50 years ago.
