Well I decided to buy a fruit cage this year and it has paid off picked 5lb of blueberries yesterday. there was a few wasps but they were eating the fallen one's my black currents did well. But my gooseberries had mildew I believe it's called American mildew.been having the same problem with plums just as they are getting ripe the wasps bore into them.John.
I am having terrible trouble with wasps attacking my pears. The wasps chew just where the stalk meets the pear and after a few days the pear rots at that point and drops off. Last year I lost all but 6 pears from this. I have put wasp traps up and they are catching many but not enough. Anyone got any ideas.
Talking of wasps, anyone have an answer to why they go mad for my fennel flowers at this time of year? I can get really close to watch them without a single wasp taking umbridge, they almost seem drunk
Talking of wasps, does anyone have an answer to why they go mad for my fennel flowers at this time of year. Watching them, they almost seem drunk on the nectar.
Our plum tree was laden with fruit this year but on picking we've discovered small pink maggots in at least two-thirds of them. Should we have sprayed the tree at some point and, if so, when and what with?
