I've given up any hope of getting a crop from the butternut squash in the
back garden as it has two tone leaves - green above and black (fly) below.
However I have been watering it and keeping it alive.

It is now covered in hoverflies and ladybirds and I hope that I am breeding
a ravening horde of predators which will search out and destroy aphids
wherever they hide.

Strangely, the path along the sea defences from Felixstowe Golf Club to
Felixstowe Ferry was covered in (deceased) ladybirds this morning.
I have no idea what they were doing there apart from taking an ill advised
seaside holiday but hopefully the number there indicates that there are
loads of them everywhere.

Cheers
