I have several large old oak trees. recently I have noticed tiny caterpillars hanging from the branches - sometimes 20 or 30 feet above the ground on very fine silk/webs. The caterpillars are no more than one centimetre long. Are they harmful in any way to me, my dogs, the trees? Any comments gratefully received
Don't know if Im in the right place but I have been told to use a particular fertiliser by someone in the USA and cannot find one with the same content here. The products are called CALMABON and NITRO CANE PLUS. These are apparently the best fertilisers for Clivia.
I have problems buying Cascading Dichondra for my hanging baskets...I have had to leave it out this year....seems a bit odd!
I won the battle against snails eating my lupin...I had to bring into the house everynight...it is now growing...pellets and egg shells never helped...
I grew sweet peas in my mini green house...they died in the heat...maybe lack of water contributed..I am learning all the time....
i have a Magnolia tree in my garden, it didn't flower for many yrs, however this yr I had three flowers on it. Now its flowering again, not complaining but thought they only flowered once a yr in the spring!!! I live in Kent, close to Rochester.
Have just lifted some runner bean plants, after decimation from blackfly etc, and on the roots there are loads of brown 'egg type' squeezy things attached, can anyone tell me what they are???

Magnolias - I put this set together on Flickr recently, with text about the famous M. sprengeri 'Diva' raised at Caerhays.
