    Vine weevil grubs I'm afraid Julie.image

    As you can't use pesticides on edible crops, try Nemasys Vine weevil nematodes which you just water onto the soil.  They are a bit expensive but do work. image

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
  • Thanks I did think that's what they were, I will get some nematodes and treat the other containers just in case but the other plants are looking healthy, I have cleaned off the damaged plant and replanted it in a new container with new compost so fingers crossed it will survive but I may not get any fruit now this year, thanks for your help
