    honey fungus! 3 Very Unhappy Back garden
    We have honey fungus! Apparently it’s quite common for SE England. When I read the information about how to detect it, it all starts to fall into place – trees and woody shrubs dying off over the space of several years. Particularly prone are plum and apple trees, forsythia, currant b...

    a froggy visitor 1 Full of potential - renamed Water garden and Back garden
    We spied a visiting frog the other day. He was much bigger and beefier than our usual little friend, darker in colour too, and I’m assuming he was the one I saw some while ago under the fruit trees because after a while he stopped his bathing, climbed out and took a number of huge leaps bac...

    infested.. Nasturtium and Back garden
    ..with black fly – masses of them. This is what happened the last time – several years ago now – that I tried planting nasturtiums. I saw some last year though in a garden a few streets away and thought how nice they looked so I tried again. I’ve just spent a while painsta...

    gone Erythronium Pagoda Dying and Back garden
    … I had been thinking about planting some of these for at least a year before I got them, which is unusual in ways, I’m not that much of a planner. And now I see why not. Despite my best efforts (nematodes, slug pellets, night time patrols and a lot of pointless shouting) all three p...
