Drat - Vine Weevils!
Despite the rain, I went out to do a little job in the garden. Instead of
doing that job, I saw a very sad plant which needed some attention. The plant was a once *beautiful* yellow Primula bulleyana which I'd bought on holiday. It was magnificent! That same plant appeared collapsed and, when I investigated, there were about 50 vine weevil larvae in the crown and rootball of the plant. There is almost nothing left, and I doubt that that 'almost nothing' will survive. I will see what can be done, but it's not hopeful. Boo hoo :~(( The birds are very happy though. They got an unexpected feast of plump wriggly things .... I just got soaked to the skin, chilled through and fed up for .. yup, bird food! :~( I squelched my way indoors and hubby said "Did you get very wet, dear?" Grrr!! It's just as well he made me a nice cup of tea :~). Spider |
