Speaker 2: things have been okay. Otherwise the gardens and good neck.

00:00:28,253 --> 00:00:31,093
Speaker 2: I put strawberries in. You'ld be pleased to hear ye

10
00:00:31,213 --> 00:00:35,653
Speaker 2: strawberries around peace straws down. So we're organized on that front,

11
00:00:35,653 --> 00:00:38,573
Speaker 2: which is which is good. Although it is still pretty

12
00:00:38,653 --> 00:00:43,133
Speaker 2: cold I would say unusually cold in England at the moment,

13
00:00:43,333 --> 00:00:46,293
Speaker 2: like it almost feels sort of like proper South Island cold.

14
00:00:46,293 --> 00:00:51,173
Speaker 2: But anyway, hopefully things too much. Yeah, but you're focusing

15
00:00:51,173 --> 00:00:54,613
Speaker 2: this morning on some winter movements with silk at this

16
00:00:54,693 --> 00:00:55,613
Speaker 2: time of year.

17
00:00:56,333 --> 00:00:58,893
Speaker 3: Well there are you're talking about being cold, that's right

18
00:00:58,973 --> 00:01:01,213
Speaker 3: this morning here too, we've ended up with the frost,

19
00:01:01,693 --> 00:01:04,293
Speaker 3: especially on the on the lower areas of christ Church

20
00:01:04,813 --> 00:01:08,093
Speaker 3: and and and it's called to see what happens in

21
00:01:08,213 --> 00:01:13,093
Speaker 3: frost because there are certain little spiders, native spiders that

22
00:01:13,173 --> 00:01:16,773
Speaker 3: have little websites everywhere, you know, on the lawns, and

23
00:01:16,933 --> 00:01:20,293
Speaker 3: on all sorts of places in your garden, and you can.

24
00:01:20,533 --> 00:01:22,853
Speaker 3: And here comes to thing. When you wake up in

25
00:01:22,893 --> 00:01:25,173
Speaker 3: the morning and the sun comes up and there's still

26
00:01:25,453 --> 00:01:29,053
Speaker 3: kind of frozen, you get this amazing if you like,

27
00:01:29,933 --> 00:01:34,053
Speaker 3: you call it a gossamer of silk that becomes literally

28
00:01:34,133 --> 00:01:39,613
Speaker 3: frozen and speckled with droplets of ice and water. And

29
00:01:40,413 --> 00:01:42,413
Speaker 3: a lot of people miss that. If you don't get

30
00:01:42,493 --> 00:01:45,213
Speaker 3: up early, you won't see that. They're just amazing to

31
00:01:45,253 --> 00:01:49,653
Speaker 3: see that. Now, those creatures, they make websites, of course,

32
00:01:49,813 --> 00:01:52,973
Speaker 3: because websites are the things they catch their preying, you

33
00:01:53,093 --> 00:01:57,053
Speaker 3: know what I mean. Yeah, it's a good word website,

34
00:01:57,093 --> 00:02:00,053
Speaker 3: isn't it's And those websites are not trying to sell

35
00:02:00,093 --> 00:02:05,093
Speaker 3: you stuff. They're actually there for this. Yeah, that's right,

36
00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:08,173
Speaker 3: there you go. But so I see, the web spider

37
00:02:08,213 --> 00:02:10,653
Speaker 3: princess that you find in the forest is a trampoline

38
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:13,613
Speaker 3: and it has these lovely little guy ropes at the

39
00:02:13,613 --> 00:02:16,773
Speaker 3: bottom and at the top sticking up from the trampoline,

40
00:02:16,893 --> 00:02:19,653
Speaker 3: so that at night, when the multo beagle flies passed

41
00:02:19,973 --> 00:02:23,693
Speaker 3: and it doesn't see the little the little gossom as

42
00:02:23,693 --> 00:02:26,453
Speaker 3: if you like, it loses its balance and it falls

43
00:02:26,493 --> 00:02:28,773
Speaker 3: onto the trampoline and then they go and get them.

44
00:02:29,093 --> 00:02:31,493
Speaker 3: But these ones, the little ones that I'm finding on

45
00:02:31,533 --> 00:02:35,333
Speaker 3: the lawn and everywhere and the hedges are absolutely small

46
00:02:35,453 --> 00:02:39,813
Speaker 3: native spiders that are literally having their home there. And

47
00:02:39,893 --> 00:02:44,333
Speaker 3: it looks gorgeous because the moment it thaws out, you

48
00:02:44,453 --> 00:02:46,973
Speaker 3: won't see them again. And this is where they're, where

49
00:02:46,973 --> 00:02:49,453
Speaker 3: they live, and this is how they move, and this

50
00:02:49,533 --> 00:02:52,293
Speaker 3: is how they catch their prey, even in the middle

51
00:02:52,293 --> 00:02:53,373
Speaker 3: of winter. I love that.

52
00:02:53,653 --> 00:02:57,333
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's amazing. It's so beautiful. Like you said, so

53
00:02:57,373 --> 00:02:58,973
Speaker 2: you got it. You've got to be up early to

54
00:02:58,973 --> 00:03:01,733
Speaker 2: see some of these things, right, Yes, you got it.

55
00:03:02,413 --> 00:03:04,333
Speaker 3: Yeah, you got it. But that's why I took those

56
00:03:04,333 --> 00:03:08,213
Speaker 3: photos and chucked them in there now they yeah, yes,

57
00:03:08,573 --> 00:03:11,373
Speaker 3: lovely stuff sort of stuff.

58
00:03:11,813 --> 00:03:13,773
Speaker 2: Okay, well, we will make sure that we put those

59
00:03:13,773 --> 00:03:16,173
Speaker 2: photos that the gossomer and that kind of thing up

60
00:03:16,173 --> 00:03:18,373
Speaker 2: on the up on the news talks websites and people

61
00:03:18,413 --> 00:03:20,773
Speaker 2: can see them as well. Thank you very much, sir.

62
00:03:20,813 --> 00:03:20,893
Speaker 3: So.

63
00:03:20,973 --> 00:03:22,093
Speaker 2: Is there anything else I need to do with the

64
00:03:22,133 --> 00:03:24,573
Speaker 2: strawberries for now that they'll be okay despite the cold weather.

65
00:03:24,773 --> 00:03:27,133
Speaker 2: As I've put the peace, it's all going to survive.

66
00:03:27,253 --> 00:03:30,133
Speaker 3: You're keeping fine, You're keeping fine because even if it's

67
00:03:30,213 --> 00:03:33,013
Speaker 3: if there's a little bit of a frost, it's not

68
00:03:33,293 --> 00:03:35,693
Speaker 3: such a big deal. If it gets too much, which

69
00:03:35,733 --> 00:03:38,093
Speaker 3: it won't be happening in green Auckland, I would say

70
00:03:38,533 --> 00:03:40,413
Speaker 3: you could put something over the top to stop it,

71
00:03:40,533 --> 00:03:43,613
Speaker 3: you know, the frost cloth and things like that. Honestly,

72
00:03:43,773 --> 00:03:45,253
Speaker 3: I don't think rangers too.

73
00:03:45,413 --> 00:03:47,693
Speaker 2: I know you've always you got away. Yeah, I feel

74
00:03:47,733 --> 00:03:49,533
Speaker 2: like it's just I feel like it's close enough. We're

75
00:03:49,533 --> 00:03:51,213
Speaker 2: getting close enough to the end of winter, aren't we.

76
00:03:51,573 --> 00:03:53,533
Speaker 2: It's always a bit of a plant with the hydrangers.

77
00:03:53,533 --> 00:03:55,813
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, you just you never want

78
00:03:55,813 --> 00:03:59,933
Speaker 2: to leave it too late. But cut them back very good.

79
00:04:00,013 --> 00:04:02,053
