    Good morning everyone. Yes, we also have rain since yesterday evening. 12c currently and will get up to 15c. It continues to rain all day, which is good for the plants.

    Plant ID please

    Ah that makes sense, thank you. I have actually had one in a previous garden, but didn’t recognise it. It’s in a really weedy area under a tree. I’ll need to have a go at moving it I think.

    I think the caterpillars that were on mine have probably gone onto phase two, ie. chrysalis or what ever they are called, as the damage has stopped and new growth is showing.

    Your sweet peas were always lovely on the other Forum @David K. I've given up growing them in France, too hot and I'm away too often.
