Lily beetle alert
« on: April 15, 2013, 06:00:00 PM »
Well with the welcome sunshine comes the not so welcome garden visitors.

Today I have spoilt the fun for three pairs of lily beetles on my Fritillaria imperealis and F. eduardii, be warned!

and I have beheaded at least 6 in the last few days with my garden scissors! They where getting too well settled amonghst my lilium x dalhansonii shoots for my liking....!

now i just need to dissuade our neighbours cat from establishing its new toilet in my arisaema bed...but as i like cats and also because it eats my field voles...there wont be any beaheading there!   mjiaouuuussss...
