I haven't had rose sawfly, but I've had the gooseberry one and it's completely stripped a plant or two in past years. Hope you get them all.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-48677125629718782992013-08-26T11:59:23.533+01:002013-08-26T11:59:23.533+01:00Hi Lea - you're quite right about being concer...Hi Lea - you're quite right about being concerned about plants you buy. I try and quarantine mine for a while before planting. Weeds such as hairy bittercress often appear and the dreaded vine weevil has been known to lurk on the odd occasion. As for the slugs, I'm sure most of the ones I find in my pots have come from the garden :(VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-16640071758202557842013-08-26T11:54:55.099+01:002013-08-26T11:54:55.099+01:00Gardening is a constant battle, isn't it.
I so...Gardening is a constant battle, isn't it.<br />I sometimes wonder if I bring pests into my garden on the plants that I buy. Earlier in the Summer I bought a plant in a very small pot - a must re-pot immediately situation. When I tipped it out, there were slugs all in the bottom of the pot! Yuck!<br />Have a wonderful week!<br />Lea<br />Lea's MenagerieLeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201714466868118083noreply@blogger.com
