We've had an influx of Cabbage white (Pieris rapae - I googled that :D) butterflies in the garden this summer (we actually got one :D).

As such, our nasturtiums have a number of butterfly egg clusters on there... and significant evidence of hatched caterpillars (and I don't just mean groups of tiny caterpillars... we're talking lots of holes in the leaves grrrrr....)


Mini Corn cobs :)
