    What’s eating my hydrangea leaves?!

    Ah, I wonder if it is oak caterpillar defoliating my flowering cherry. The canopies of the two touch. It is the first yr I've had a problem.

    No remnants of webbing that I can see. Your thoughts echo my own, that disease might have been transferred. I think I will copy your example and invest in a battery hedge trimmer. Thank you for...

    Do I have a contaminated patch in garden, and how to fix it?

    Perhaps the roots are still alive and kicking and using up all the water and nutrients. Our tree man used a stump grinder to destroy everything.

    Is Fairy Liquid safe to use on roses with greenfly?

    Camellias, new foliage discoloration.

    It is more noticeable where I am this year because we have had such a wet winter and I think the extra water has fuelled lush growth.

    What could be affecting leaves of plants across my garden?

    Another one here for hail damage for most of it. Healthy plants will grow out of it.

    Black leaves Acuba Japonica Gold Dust

    Yes they were hardened off before planting in the ground. The others are all okay. I wasn’t sure if I’d overwatered them. Hopefully they’ll still be okay then. Thank you @flounder for replying :)

    Please help with pepper plant

    The edema nodules are part of the plant, so no need to remove them. Basically, you don't need to do anything.

    What is the problem with my violas?

    Yes - I wouldn't be worried at all. They're tough. They're more likely to get slug damaged than anything else, which is why I rarely grow them now.
