I have a thick, very sticky white substance on some of my conservatory plants. I presume it is from an insect as it doesn't look like mould. I have sprayed it with insecticide but nothing shifts it. Any ideas welcome. Should I get rid of the plants?

Well done Ed

if it is Estie's birthday tomorrow, the 29th,

I wish mine was as pert as that. Ohh I don't know though!!! :o)

Another injured foot. What's up with us Biddies. I've been hobbling a bit - I think I pulled a muscle at work or these toe post things I'm wearing more like!

Get well soon Vinny After the footie of course!

Morning everybody btw.

Robinia

a'noon - had me hedges trimmed this morning so I've been busy supervising....I'm out there with a tape measure & a spirit level you know.....

oh Vinny, hope you didn't get trench foot last week in all that mud..... let's have a look....ooooh horrible....oh you've still got your slippers on. you'd better use neti's zimmer, she must be lolling by the pool again.. tut ...hope it's better as soon as you want it be ;o)

fabulous pics gessoo, you have a lot of flowers. My garden always looks a bit quiet after the spring burst is over. I used to have a big area with perennials but the couch grass got in to it & I was tired of forever digging them up so I'm gradually replacing them with shrubs.

byeee jno, have a good time....

hi Jude - have you been speeding again? police were wandering round the shops today

Robinia

well if I were you gessoo I'd have a word with neti & shaney. I see they've been in pixi's birthday thread but not been in to see us today... tut....bet they've gone off to buy some voluminous cotton summer bloomers.

I picked up a couple of jigsaws from the charity shop to do with my oldest granddaughter & I think one of them might have been mine lol....looks a bit familiar now. Got one of The Rising Sun hotel in Lynmouth too....do you know it Vinny? it looks lovely.mmmm, �100 a day DBB in a seaview room...oh no, food looks too posh, what's up wi' cheese on toast & I can't see any sprout butties?

VINNY100_2

My parents honeymooned at Porlock Vinny, back in 1942.

Robinia, don't be taken in by my flowers. The only flowers I really have are in that bit of back garden and clothe the fence and wall, although I shall put some plant pots around in that area shortly - when I get round to it. The rest of my garden is shrubs and trees and tatty grass. I don't do flower beds or borders at all -hence no weeding or hoeing!!!!!

Oh, and the columbine and love in the mist, etc you can see are growing in the gravel. See, I am a dead lazy gardener really.

Vinny I've looked on the jigsaw box & it says Made by Vincent so don't expect the pieces to fit together. It's brand new, still got the cellophane on, I think someone decided it was too hard. It should keep my granddaughter quiet, along with the gobstoppers, for about 6 visits...never let it be said I don't know how to entertain the anklesnappers, hehe.
Looking forward to the holiday c/o AB....double room eh? mmmmm.....

this is almost identical to the jigsaw pic but

it's a bit fuzzy

I love this close up photography gessoo, you can just do the best bits
