    The caterpillars in the tunnel (large whites) have migrated from nasturtiums outside (which they have reduced to stalks) and they have managed to crawl under the tunnel netting. The nasturtiums are pretty, but I don't much like eating them, so I will not be allowing them to grow again.

    All depends on how long the builder takes to do a smallish job. He arrived first thing, but has disappeared, and until he finishes I am stuck at home.
