My dahlia bulbs have broken through the soil and are sprouting. While I was weeding around them, I came across Mr. Grasshopper. He was having a grand time and not fazed at all that I was taking his photo. Their activity is at their lowest in the morning so that is when I need to catch him and release him away from the dahlias. I know what I will be doing this weekend.
