My Good Deed for the Day .......

[Printemps]

... I rescued a ladybird off a lettuce in the supermarket today, brought him home, albeit on a different variety to where I found him.

He is now at home munching the greenfly on my chilli plants!

Blimy, I wonder how it survived the disinfectant they wash them in?!

I haven't seen many this year at all, might have a look in tescos next time I go lol

[Pumpkin Becki]

I rescued a beautiful big bumble bee from the carpet of a corridor at work today. She was very close to being trampled! People wondered who I was talking to saying things like 'there's a good girl, aren't you a beautiful girl, steady steady, there's a good girl...'

Do I care what they think - no I don't!

Oh, and well done you Printemps, I'm glad you got him home safely.

Janeyo - I doubt if the lettuces here in France get dunked in disinfectant, they normally just cut off the outside leaves, so we end-users get all the bugs and dirt. Added value obviously!!!

I would like to rescue one of the pasty youths out of Tesco and set him free....on my alltoment.......LOL

[bluemoon]

And he's now eating the bugs on your chillies??? So not entirely altruistic then.

[Printemps]

His choice to munch on bugs on chillies - not mine. I just set him free on a Datura, but he found an enjoyable not too far away! Honest guv!

Good on all you 'rescue'ers
yes I am proud to say I am one too...............worms on paths, bugs of any sort, bees (of course) and even, dare I say SNAILS!!!!!

Mr Dandy harvested some lettuce leaves for his lunch yesterday, obviously didnt wash them properly, as there was a ladybird there when he came to eat them! He left it in the container for the rest of the day and brought it back home again - so it had a day trip to London!

He wouldn't be happy, he's not used to daylight. Probably spends all his free time playing on his Xbox

[ginger ninger]

I have a small plant pot and a piece of card in my green house....just on the off chance something needs rescuing and putting back outside ...i don't like to get bitten or stung

[OverWyreGrower]

I rescued some slugs last night.... rescued them off my plants and gave them to the ducks!

2 good deeds in one day!
