This time of year, that ain't no box blight, that's box hedge caterpillars, trust me I have experience
I have taken to using this, together with the pheromone traps show above
It seems more effective than what I've been using before. You will need to spray them immediately and get the...
The BHCC bloke got me once a few weeks ago, so I took your lead and added loads more posts to the four big white ones he somehow managed to mow around :facepalm:
I think I've lost some of the early stuff as a result, but there's bits coming through now :thumbsup:
I love driving through country roads this time of year and seeing huge areas of wood anemones. Going up to Hassocks in the trees on the left just before South downs nurseries, around Ditchling common (particularly the road off to chailey) completely wild and stunning :thumbsup:

Thanks for that, it explains so much of what I'm seeing. Some of the ones I have are forming huge clumps covering everything around them, whilst others are slowly and delicately pushing leaves and flowers up in between the remains of snowdrops, and tete a tete and the new leaves of bluebells and...

It was taken on the West of the...
Four white posts, but the stupid sod managed to mow all round them. Luckily I don't think anything much had sprouted and appears to be coming through now. I may have to make additions :wink:
Wasn't sure whether this should go on this thread or the restaurant one, but I know there's some serious horticulturists on here, so a bit left field

I've just made a home made pizza and whenever I buy fresh spinach, there's always some of this in it, anyone want to guess what it is ?
Before the frost (not that I think it makes any difference as it's meant to be sown in Autumn) but I think the idea of absolutely scalping the grass was to give the seed a start when it warms up. Unfortunately the grass has then re-grown.
The NSCer who advised me only lives round the corner so...
