JOYCE WHATS the time please :-D

hiya sheila thanks for that , its all quite new about the plants ive been a amature for years , but ive got a plan if i grow a orchard, it wont look too untidy when its time to mow the lawn which is oh job anyway, well thats my logic lol xx

hi everyone, puss they a bright red coulor so you cant miss them,and they lay eggs under the leaves looks like black bird poo LOL i wipe it off with k/roll,i think its a bit early for them yet they dont half like to bathe in the sun,,if you google red lillie beetle you can read all about them,, :-D

hello , will be on beetle watch from tomorrow then, thanks for advice.

sheila what colour are they, ? we are encoraged to grow our own stuff but they dont tell you about how hard it can be with the little critters :-0

Hello everyone hope you are all well,sorry jude i have agree with wend about the beetles,and the best time to pick them off is in the morning when they are a bit dozy cos the are quick little blighters,but they are a lovely coulor jude.and very hardy the first ones i picked i caught them in a jar and left them in the conservatory for hubby the squash,but has he works away most off the time i kept forgetting to ask him and 5 weeks later they were still alive,no air no food no water,so i had to do it myself in the end YUK, apparently they live down under the bulb all winter so when the first leaves appere be on guard,they have now travelled up as far as Cumbria and RHS would like to know if they have got any further..Puss i tried every bug killer but nothing seem to work even killing them and they still devoured all my lillies so last year i outed lillies compost and pots and have just started to plant new ones so i shall be out with rubber gloves and kitchen roll morning and evening this year lol maybe this should have been on the gardening thread,, well goodnight all,,,sheila

Lily beatles are only beautiful when you've picked them off your lovely lilies and stamped on them.

If you can't do that, then there is no hope for your lilies - you decide which is more beautiful . . .

walked round merryhell with old foster daughter, she want oh to go with her to buy her first car, she has just turned 18, she has some block lessons where they guarantee to pass you, so its sorn on our drive for now, she no longer lives with us , but we have kept in touch, oh was so chuffed she asked him, we had a girly hour where only 1 pair of shoes was bought instaead of ten, that must of been a record, anyway off to bed xx :-D

Welcome back Sheila and Kathleen.

Kathleen so sorry that your daughter has had to go all through it again. I do hope that she will change her mind about the chemo but it has to be her decision. We will all keep our fingers crossed that she decides to go for it. You may not know that my daughter had a grade 2 lump just before christmas, found at the first mammogram after she was 50. Her lump was grade 2 and the only lymph node affected was the sentinel so she has not had to have chemo, just 3 weeks of radio therapy. I am hoping that she will stay clear, but sadly your daughter has proved that it can return any time. How old is your daughter? Good luck and lots of positive thoughts for her and for you at this worrying time.

puss once is enough lol :-D she will get all noisey and excited,Well you have managed it puss to get her back on here and also me.
So here we go,,firstly hello to everyone, i do know a few,I have been a member since 2004 i think,got told off the first time i posted asking for help.but did post on other board a few times but found it fast and a little frightening then to what it is now,my first no tree contact was with Dutch and that has built into a good friendship also met a few lovely ladies in Sheffield Liz Sallie and Jude which was made possibble by Joyce bugging me,,but really glad she did.so hopefully will join you all on here from time to time Been reading through the thread and the latest one is Kathleens and would just like to say Ihave everything crossed for you and your daughter send all the best wishes and prayers possible,Take care everyone Sheila,
Puss lillies my favourite flower,had a garden full till last year when that nasty little red beetle got at them,,watch out for it !!!!!
