I thought with a mild winter the violas would do well. Now I see a few
of them are smothered in aphids, and the small leaf size makes it difficult to treat them in any way. Surprised to see them this early, but this winter has been full of surprises. |

Was a minute or three into looking at them when I realised I'd got a greenfly mooching about on my desk. -- http://www.voucherfreebies.co.uk |

We saw tits picking insects off trees and plants at the weekend. Midges are out and about. And lily beetle here!

But, for the first time this winter, blackbirds are now gobbling the pyracantha berries. Ominous |

My blackbirds have changed behaviour - for the first time ever, they are eating the yellow holly berries. And the pink/white pernettya berries. But they're still ignoring the cotoneaster, which they always have regarded as inedible, along with Skimmia.
