Talkback: Verbena bonariensis

moths love it so - and we love sitting watching them.Every April I leave some purple sprouting and kale to flower and run to seed. The area literally buzzes with bees - they love the yellow flowers - and later the seedlings pop up everywhere. It saves by SuzieC

Erythronium

didn't miss them, Jean? When I first planted mine they only produced a couple of moth-eaten leaves in the first year, which would have been easy to pull up as weeds. It took about three years for them to produce flowers, although they are now thriving by jean riley

Talkback: New Zealand flatworms

is this oak killing moth, not only is it eating its way through whats left of our oak trees it is toxic to humans, animals, land and crops, and could be fatal. Nothing seems to kill these things and they multiply at a rate of knots. You can google it the info by gailms

Talkback: Plum trees

to grow but you have to watch out for the plum moth which seems to prefer some varieties (larva in the fruit). Pheramone traps are the way to attract the moths before they lay their eggs in the developing fruit. Thanks for your blog encoraging the growing by Grannyanne

Talkback: Do we really want wildlife in our gardens?

Keeping Cats off My Veg Patch

not clean up after our pets, we would be fined, we even had a cat claw holes in the polly tunnel because it could see a moth flitting around, I have tried moth balls, which work. I buy them off the internet and the postman is not too keen on having them by donutsmrs

or if the badger is finding a way in again. We have had an unusual visitor this year, which i have found out is an elephant hawk moth caterpillar. I first thought it was a slug. They were last seen demolishing a fuchsia bush, which they apparently love.I've read by Margaret

Talkback: Big Butterfly Count

spring but a dearth of anything but whites, hedge browns and tiger moths at present. It is very important as you say, Kate, to realise we too are part of the natural world and will suffer by having less food if the pollinators are not around. I saw a Red by Fran
