Because we thought they were hers we decided to take down the "empty nest". So I plucked down the nest for the children to have a look and we left it on the table. Lo and behold, the very next morning, we noticed about 8 brand new baby spiders crawling out of and around her nest!! So the other baby spiders weren't hers I guess. Well.....as for Charlotte our spider, she went missing about 2 days ago. We hunted for her but couldn't find her. I guess after a month she's decided that it was time for her to go.

While gardening the other day, we found this green caterpillar crawling on our fence, strange to be so far away from any plant! We decided to keep it for a while. Well...again, lo and behold (haha), the very next day...we checked in the morning to find that it'd turned itself into a pupae!!! It's day 4 now of being a pupae. We're very excited! :)
As for Jo's garden which we worked on last weekend, baby plants have begun to sprout. :)
I think these are baby pak choy
