It seems that most major pests didn't like the extended cold weather, which also means fewer ladybirds, etc. But watch out for a [possible Autumn infestation.

Mmmmm. No red spider mite in my greenhouse this year either (so far). I wonder if this is why?

mind you,I don't know what I'm looking for anyway!
Touch wood, apart from the loss of 1 raspberry bush,everything seems to be growing ok

I feel a Herby saying coming on - things either grow or they die.

Picked some nasturtium for salad on Sunday and the blackfly were heavily in evidence.
But, not all over, just on some of the shoots, maybe one in five.
