Never had as many as I have this year, just squashed eight on one plant in a group of three with none on the other two plants.

We have  still to experience the red lily beetle here in happy Aberdeen...thank goodness.... I expect, however, that your vigilance in seeking them out and dealing firmly with them when you do, is one of the best ways of dealing with the damn things. Messy, old-fashioned, maybe, but effective and "green" !

There could be worse descriptions: I'd be prepared to own up to that one, too!

You're not suggesting David is cabbage-looking are you Maggi?
Sorry, it's all these late nights watching Americas Cup racing. Only once to bed before 3am in the last 5 days. Another one tonight and then, hopefully, a few days respite before the REAL race gets under way.

I think Ian should get his guitar out and form a new band called the 'Lily Beetles' and sing songs dedicated to those of us who are no longer as green as we are cabbage looking! ::)

My first LP was 'A Hard Days Night', but 'Sgt Pepper' was better. It's wonderful to be here, it's certainly a thrill.
