    The birds seem to be digging out these all over the place - anyone know if they're eggs or what kind of eggs they are?

    Look like slug eggs, got rid of a load out of my cold frame today which had some empty pots with labels in them where cuttings used to be! :(

    I had a glut of blackfly/greenfly one year then a swarm of ladybirds the next year.  Been here 3 years and neither seem to be prolific this year. 

    Might just have been lucky.

    See original post

     Think it's a bit early for either to be prolific just yet image

    Ha, yes of course.  I've seen a few ladybirds but as you say, bit early yet.
