Cool, a duck. I love them, they have so much character. You do realise that they are pigs with webbed feet?
I wish I knew my rockets from my rockets. Not sure which one our greengrocer gives me.
Hi Nevyn,
No one mentioned the whole pig thing directly but I sort of got the drift. I think someone suggested that they would keep eating until they couldn't walk if you were ignorant enough to simply keep putting food in front of them.
Hi Linda,
Once you have seen the two varieties they are pretty easy to tell apart. The wild rocket has a serrated edge.

ducks, yay!
nevyn that's really funny, i've never heard that description before.
Maia, we have been known to count fingers before and after we feed the ducks, just to make sure they are still attched to our hands. It's a real feeding frenzy.
