    Why so many aphids this year?

    Blue Tits will have had a lot of them while feeding their young. Saw my first Ladybird of the year today, and the Honeybees have finally found the Borage patch :)

    What nobbled my tomato plant?

    Soil is clean Sheal. I think the black blobs are fungal grows -0ught to have done an autopsy but too late now! My guess is that something had a good nibble and then the rot set in.

    honeysuckle help

    Hi Ben, It looks like sooty mould to me, it's created by scale insects. You will need to use an insecticide to kill off the bugs.
