I really am appalingly behind with my online nature diary. This is not, as one might have supposed, because I have given up on my New Year's resolution to take more excercise, and whilst out and about to make notes on what I see and do and then to write about it. It is not even because I have been too busy to take the excercise. I have still been out and about whenever I can, and whilst it is not every day, it is still several times a week, but I have been too busy to write about it.
I have been continuing my Natural History explorations, and am now (in a convenient break from interviewing Ant-Bee for Gonzo's website, and working on Moke Hallowell's autobiography) going to sit down and try and write a couple of these observations down.
For example here is Graham with a mandrake. No, of course it's not. It is actually a dandelion. But look at the size of it! I promise you that this is not forced perspective or anything. The plant really was this size. And the amazing thing is that it grew this big from seed in less than nine days. I know this because it appeared in a potted plant that we bought and then didn't plant out for just over a week.
I really had no idea that they could grow this fast..
