Do you remember the gap I left in the Carnivorous Garden? That was for a sundew and the only sundew I could find at the time was a grow-your-own kit. I didn’t honestly think it would work so I’ve also been nursing a poorly sundew I found at the garden centre down the road too which is almost ready to go in the main plant pot with the others. But… the seeds have started to grow. The plants are tiny, like, reeeeally tiny and the photo above doesn’t really give you the scale. To put it in perspective, the plant pot in the photo is just over an inch in diameter. The sundew is a carnivorous plant and captures its prey using sticky mucus on the end of the stalks covering the leaves. The leaves then curl up around the victim/lunch and slowly digest it. The white you can see is mould, you have to keep the soil permanently very wet.

The ultimate in pizza based burger hybrid snacks has returned and this time it is suitable for vegetarians. I kept the same cheese & tomato pizza, kraft cheese slice and ketchup combination from before, but this time used a Quorn burger in place of beef, significantly reducing the calorie count. The top photo shows the fully assembled burger ready for consumption, but I’ve decided to show you a cross-section as well so you can fully appreciate the magnificence of this creation.
