OMG Terry60, that campanula is gorgeous!! Is that a grape vine behind it? Is this a climbing campanula? I want one! What are you feeding it?

Oh dear folks, I have a very sad tale to relate about my campanula. Over the weekend, my lovely neighbour, who helps me with my plants (as you've all probably realised I'm pretty hopeless myself), found that it was infested with millions of all these rather smelly ants, that were slowly eating away all the roots and attacking the vine behind it. So what we thought was the end of season drynes was in fact death caused by these flippin' ants (that, according to my neighbour, have apparently been known to chop away and eventually kill almond trees) . A mass cleaning job has been done and the beasties have been eradicated but it has meant that I have lost all the lower half of my lovely cushion of blue. I was going to take a photo of it but I was so upset, I thought I'd wait till next May and see what happens.... sob sob

I know Jacque I was so upset, I could have cried - luckily tho' the top half is still quite healthy and green - like you say let's keep our fingers crossed for next May....

So sorry to hear about this ! Glad you found out the problem was though before it was totally destroyed. I was thinking, just tell all your neighbors that you are training your companula into a standard...lol, they will think you're very creative !
