wilting and dying bedding plants

Could it be vine weevil grubs having a munch on the roots? 

I've had this sort of effect with heucheras & saxifrages, although not bedding plants (yet.....!!)

Good Evening FORKERS

Yes, a well done from me, too Woody, & how great to meet folk from here.

If you were closer we'd have been there, we love garden visiting.

weed or not..

Watch our for the babies next year!!

At least they're easy to identify & pull out.

What's the weather like in your area?

Warm, bit cloudy, occasional sun.  Fine for pottering.

Something for the weekend.......enjoying gardens and flowers.

You're talking my language there Ggirl!!

What's the weather like in your area?

Cloudy & fairly warm this morning, sun came out in the afternoon & the sky's clear-ish now.  Only a little breeze.

Good Evening FORKERS

Your bit about your lupins reminded me of the Monty Python sketch - a spoof on Robin Hood but he was called Dennis Moore (!) When he stole from the rich, instead of saying 'your money or your life',  he said  'your life or your lupins'. I always think of it whenever I hear lupins mentioned  

My OH often complains that they never repeat that one, I only vaguely remember it.

He thinks it was a highwaymen who stole the lupins then took them to the poor who complained "All he ever bring us is lupins, never anything useful like money, oh no, only lupins; the house is full of them"  Then off he'd gallop to get some more!

If he turned up in our garden just now he provide ample for the poor!!

Weed or Not? Photo's here

I wondered if you were watching Verd - with the National Collection of Geums on it!

I'd love to go - gardens, cake & a celebrity (Woodgreenwonderboy), what more could you want?? Well for me, maybe 600 miles closer would help!!

Anyway I hope that everyone from here who goes has a lovely time, the sun shines & Ww raises lots of money for charity.

Ww, I hope that you manage to get everything done in your garden that you need to, before The Big Day, & may all your weeds be little ones!

Presumably Ggirl will be reporting in after the event to let us know what the cake was like. Oh, and the gardens too.
