Had that down here on a couple of fuchsias - I cut them back and we had a couple of coolish nights over winter and it didn't reappear luckily. Looks a mess what it hits though eh?
No proper frost this year. Maybe next year😐 Been cutting it off when I see it. One is down to sticks! One Delta Sarah was badly affected before I realised what it was. I cut it down to ground level with a view to digging it out, but it's growing again and the leaves look OK for now. At least it's not a terminal disease.
So sorry Phillipa, makes our grumps seem unworthy. Hubby went to a shop yesterday, came back fuming, he is very quiet and shy, doesnt engage with people unless he has to, but can get angry and swear a lot!! He is wanting to get to a certain place, shop assistant is stocking up there, so he waits politely, and distancing properly, (bearing in mind other assistants have complained about people not following arrows and rules)She turns to another customer and says, "ere, I dunno why e was just standing there, why didnt he go past", well, he actually wanted to get where she was. He was very angry, said he didnt dare say anything to her, because it wouldnt have been polite. We are in a village, if we fall out with them, would be just our luck to get banned, the next shops involve a drive of several miles. I have complained about staff rudeness in the past and got no-where. Both my daughters are in retail, one is a manager for one of the big ones, and they tell me of customers screaming at them in store,and they get away with it.
Gosh, he is shy, he needs to just say ‘excuse me would you mind passing me a tin of beans’ I’m sure everybody is sick of all this palaver in shops and queues, let’s hope it soon gives up and we can just get on with life as it was.
