Mike's Evolving Garden

It's all coming together nicely Michael, and when the bottom end of the garden is sorted out it will look lovely.

 

I found Fuchsia Gall Mite on one of my hardy plants not long ago, and I cut the affected stems off and tried to burn them, which was a difficult thing to do.
I thought my paint stripper would do the job but it was hopeless so I put the affected shoots in a plastic bag and tied it tightly, and waited until I had a better idea.

I had no further problem with the FGM until Tuesday this week when I noticed it again (just the same one plant) ... and then the above mentioned 'better idea' came into my mind - I bought a blow lamp, and zapped it ! ... I ZAPPED it !
And I ZAPPED the previously cut off shoots in the plastic bag too
(NB I took them out of the bag first)
If I see it again my blow lamp is at the ready and I will ZAPP it

 

That blow lamp will be handy if you fancy making creme brûlée @Michael Hewett .
