Everyone has noticed the 'Rise of the Slugs'!! Haven't seen many ladybirds on the lotty this year.
I've seen very few, but a lot of insects are struggling this year.
I have not seen many, but I have not seen a single blackfly, so maybe that is why.
I had them on my broadies - not many considering how weak they were, and that I'd planted one variety which has little or no resistance to them - but that's about all I've seen.
