Winter Kill

 


Hi all

But found my first Red lily beetle and vine weevil Saturday, plants
that normaly
get greenfly in the spring yes they have them, I live in
South Wales and visit

yet ??.

I was hoping that the cold snap where I live would kill off overwintering
queen wasps. It would appear quite a few have survived. Mind you, as of
yesterday there is one less to breed this summer.

 



Wopses are our friends.

I'm hoping there'll be another hornets' nest this year.

Heathrow! Eat yer heart out!

Can't stand them. As a child I remember the screams from my brother after
some bullies had put a hornet down the back of his shirt. No thanks. I know
they eat garden pests but they are too aggressive for my liking.
