I think it might be too late for the Bugclear - I need to be a bit better with my autumn tidy up around the plants instaed.<br /><br />Juliet - I've got an earlier (and cheaper!) edition of the book. It's a good 'un.<br /><br />Mark - welcome and thanks for Following :) I looked at that sentence at the time and thought <i>hmm it's 2 weeks until it's officially late summer, I wonder if anyone will notice?</i>, so of course you did! Thanks for the compliment - it's good to have someone reading this who's also local. I've lurked over at yours from time to time and I think we have similar views about where we live ;)<br /><br />Karen - it looks like it's a <i>good</i> year for capsid bigs this year. It's the first time I've had a problem with them though.<br /><br />PG - yes I do love them and at least some of them will be flowering, eventually. I reckon I've lost about a month's worth of blooms :(<br /><br />EG - I can just imagine the lookout shouting <i>down!</i> just as I arrive! Thanks for making me chuckle :)<br /><br />TIMP - I've never heard of Fuchsia getting mildew. Must be a sign they're not happy where they are, so you can get rid of them and grow something you prefer.<br /><br />Joanne - thank you - they're looking better by the day :)<br /><br />Cinj - I didn't really know the full extent of my winter casualties until late May which is when the Dahlias started poking through and I could no longer kid myself that one of my tree ferns might, just might start growing again. I think that's why the RHS have been wise not to make their hardiness survey available until now. I would have been giving a very different result (and much bleaker) a couple of months ago.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51749546376583374612009-07-19T01:01:52.724+01:002009-07-19T01:01:52.724+01:00Sometimes it's wise to be patient, though it&#...Sometimes it's wise to be patient, though it's very hard.

We did inherit a hardy variety which faithfully appears every year, although by the end of the flowering season, the foliage has usually succumbed to mildew. I had a few small, less hardy ones in pots, also inherited, but these didn't make it through our cold, wet winter. xthis is my patchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02865567572989902864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-87518244244728588092009-07-18T12:07:17.905+01:002009-07-18T12:07:17.905+01:00I can just picture the bugs seeing you coming and ...I can just picture the bugs seeing you coming and hurling themselves onto the soil in camouflage mode.
