    I'm waiting for midMarch to sow tomatoes. So far only mild chillies germinated (Biquinho Yellow and Red) and tomatillo Verde, no sign of Pineapple for nearly a month.

    Saw brimstones again. Watched a very pale peacock feeding on a blue hyacinth and then basking on a stone slab. Quick glimpse of a comma near the pond.
