Today was a lazy day--took cuttings from Sambuca, wallflowers, blackcurrants-and killed a bunch of tent caterpillars. I have noticed white dots on many of them-apparently my neighbor has sprayed her apple trees with BT. As far as I'm concerned, they all die.My greengage is loaded with potential plums--a little damage, but nothing too serious. I think the fruit harvest on this island will be seriously affected, however. They go in cycles-and this year they are at their peak. They will NOT get my strawberries!

something bright and cheerful for a dull day...
Gorgeous contrast with the rose, Salino.
Heres how my garden is looking this month...
The Clematis Dr Ruppel is my favourite plant in my garden..
And the newest addition to my garden, my wildlife pond..
OOOH--that clematis is wonderful!

Wow, it sounds like an epic struggle Inkadog. Good luck!
