RED ALERT

Flippin things are everywhere ,really hate that crunching sound when they're squished but its got to be done, thank goodness they don't bother the daylilies

 

Did a bit of research on the net and it seems they were 1st spotted in the South East of England. However they are now just about everywhere in Britian so will be keeping a beady eye out for them. Does sound as tho there aren't any really effective (not banned by EU sigh) sprays against them either. Sincerely hope they aren't as damaging as Vine Weevil which again doesn't seem to have an effective control available to us amateur gardeners at any rate.

 

Oh thanks Armandii, please sent them to.........! Can't wait for my "present". As a swap/ payback which would you prefer, an all consuming deer which had NOT departed despite it being summer or a ewe and her 2 lambs which are competing with "Bambi" as to who can scoff more of my garden.
