Having decided to bin off the fuchsia in the yard area due to what I believe to be fuchsia gall mite attacking it, Dad helped me to get rid of the remainder of the root, and gave me some spare chippings to put down along with the triangle of slab and pebbles.
Over Elm Court I bought a T-Rex skull and a couple of ladybugs and here it is, a much nicer space to look at than some manky plant which is being eaten by bugs too bloody small to see and not much in the way of bug killer available yet to see them off.
Also replanted this years pinks in the front garden having binned off one of the old fuchsias round there for the same reason.
Salvaged a small section which will hopefully be OK along with the new fuchsia but only time will tell. Sadly this disease seems somewhat prolific once it gets hold and many of the bug killers on the market right now simply don't touch it.
Also had a second wind on the double petunias and my Godetias are flowering :-)
