How do you avert Birds from attacking the red pods on the beans. They seem to get moisture I am told from the pods. Dennis

we have always had an infestation of flys in our garden and wondered why? we first thought something had died, thankfully that wasnt the case. how do I get rid of them, I have fly traps all over the back of my garden to attract them away from the house, this works a little and would like to know if certain plants have attracted them?

I have just noticed something which could either be a fungus or an insect web on my conifer hedge. There are multiple patches on the hedge - which was last cut in November. It looks slightly purplish in colour and I can't see any insects. It COULD be a fungus because it has that slightly angular weblike appearance and its structure is quite 'open'. I haver never seen anything like this before and as it is already appearing in lots of places along the hedge which stretches the full length of my garden I'm worried that it will affect the trees. My neighbour (who owns the hedge) keeps it trimmed and so do we so it is usually in fairly good condition but it has been extremely hot and dry in the east lately so this may be a factor.

My Cryptomeria has turned from green to a rust colour within the past ten days. The foliage is still very soft, not dry and brittle. Is this conifer still healthy, or is it dying?
