    I've given up growing Nasturtium's here they get infested with caterpillars. They do tend to harbour all the nasties! :)

      Yep! They look nice for a few weeks then either rain or intense heat sees them off and then the Aphids... oh, the Aphids.

      Saw some small bunches in Munich's botanical garden, I've never been able to keep them in small bunches, though.

      -

      Made a new purchase this week, bought 3 plug plants of Campanula Takesimana, so in a year or so it'll hopefully be thriving in my garden.

          For that reason alone I have left them out this year, despite being so easy. Cabbage Whites love to lay their eggs, and we all know how many they lay !

          A few years ago I sat in the conservatory for hours watching the butteflies landing on my 'sturtiams, running out to clear the eggs after they departed, of course I could not be here all the time, and very quickly lost almost all of the plants.... :frown:

            Bedframe's looking really nice now, covered nicely and been flowering quite a lot!

            I'll take a photo soon.
