This is a fascinating post! You've captured some really wonderful moments in your beautiful garden.
I'm not surprised you found shield bugs in your onion flowers – they're quite common pests. It's interesting that you're collecting the seeds yourself. Do you plan to grow them next year?
Those Swee Waxbills are adorable! I love how they seem so unafraid of you. It's a testament to your respect for nature that they feel comfortable around you.
And the Laughing Doves (they are the favorite prey in small game in my place)! They are such beautiful birds. I always enjoy hearing their calls.
Thank you for the compliment, and yes, we will plant the seeds next season.
The Swees are really such cute little birds, and we are very happy to have them here.
Sad that the laughing doves are prey in your area, as over here, we look after them. !LOL
