Help please with pics

what could be eating this? (mint) - how do I stop it

 

What should I do with these dead/dying? Nasternuims (sorry about the speling LOL)

 

Again something eating this Buddlea (again I very much doubt that's how its really spelt..)

 

and these windswept hanging basket flowers

 

My clematis is not looking healthy - is this normal?

 

Again more very windswept looking flowers

 

And the Rhodedendrum - was planted in special (acidic?) soil but has only ever looked unhealthy since I planted it... might it pick up if I put it in a pot and bring it inside? - otherwise I think it may be dead forever

 

Buddleja - (or Buddlia) the damage doesn't look bad. If it was me I'd ignore it.

Nasturtium - It's dead, done, finished for the year. Pull it up and put it on the compost heap.

Mint - If it is recent photo it will most likely be mildew or rust starting, though could possibly be whitefly (unlikely though). Again I wouldn't worry as mint is much better early in the growing season. I gave ours the chop about three weeks ago. We dried it or made mint sauce when it was young.

 

Looks like the rhododenron is an ex-rhododenron. Just say a few words over it:cry:

The flowers in the basket have run their course and are a compost heap job.

The clematis is showing that it's autumn and time to take a snooze over the winter. Nowt wrong with it - winter happens.

 

Hi Men8ifr, I'm afraid the summer hanging baskets are finished now. Best to put them on your compost heap. With them being annuals you have to start afresh with new plants each year, at the end of spring after the frosts. 02

 

Buddleja are very robust, I cut mine down to about 3 buds each spring as they tend to get out of hand. It wont stop them from flowering in the summer. 02

 

Yes the time has come to move the summer plants out now, What plants are in the first basket they look a bit to big for a basket,You could empty them now and put winter plants in them for a bit of colour in the winter viola`s pansies, cyclamen, dwarf wallflower .
I notice you have mint do you have it in the ground or in a pot I cant tell, you could cut that down to ground level as well good luck

 

Hi Men8ifr your budleia {3rd photo} looks like the leaves have been eaten by a Vine Weevil.The female Weevil bites notch shapes in the leaves as she eats them and then drops down to ground level where she lays her eggs,which hatch out and then the grubs burrow down towards the roots to eat them.Vine Weevils used to only favour certain plants but it seems now they have a taste for quiet a few different plants and shrubs.It is one of the most hated pests in the plant world....

 

Hack the mint down to ground level, it'll recover and be rampant all over again next Spring. I spent several hours one day this summer digging mint out of a border, having foolishly planted it out. They are almost indestructible.

 

I agree on the mint.Chop it up, new mint will come up next year, and you will wonder that you were ever worried for it. All the rest just looks like going dormant or dead for winter in their due course, except the rhododendron, of course. As Dave said. :(
