As Spritzhenry says just watch out for the beetles! Unless you live in the north of Scotland where it is too cold for them :-)

dont know if lily beetle has made it to east yorks yet. can any one advise. I inspect mine regularly.

SBG take a look at the RHS site http://www.rhs.org.uk/Learning/Research/Projects/lily_beetle.htm which gives clear info on where lily beetles are in the UK - to me it looks as if E Yorks has none or very few. Fingers crossed for you that it will stay that way :-)

I check them morning and night. found a vine weevil walking up the brick wall by the back door tonight. it is in the words of Monty python 'no more.'

What do they look like, Sbg?

Our nick-name for vine weevils is 'elephant beetles' just how they look to me with a long probiscus
