How interesting - thanks @Silver surfer I wish my runner beans had them :biggrin:
Didn't have a look this morning as it was pouring but just got back from the afternoon walk. I've never look at the trees closely before, always...
The first thing to ascertain is if it has got spider mites. Fairy liquid is not going to help if it's spider mites.It's not a problem I've had,...
