Noticed an issue with Box moth caterpillars recently. 
I was able to complete a manual pogrom and ordered some biological nematode control and a trap. 
I await to see how they control the pest. Fish in the pool don't like the caterpillars, as I think they are poisonous to them or taste awful.

Wind gusting to 45Kts earlier, leaves now mostly disappeared off the trees. 
Quite pleased, senior management is creating a little hazel copse in the back garden and she ordered some various ferns to use as underplanting. Only put them in a fortnight ago but they are doing very well.

Spent the morning emptying the greenhouse. Despite another cold spring it has been a reasonable season.
Last of the tomatoes picked this morning along with the cucumbers and sweet peppers. 
Sweet peppers were sown 2nd January and did very well, the only bugbear being plagued by wood lice which burrow in alongside the stem, very annoying. Anybody any ideas?
Next job is to plant some Jersey Royals in the raised bed in the greenhouse so they will be ready for Christmas.
Then go and get some seaweed to spread around liberally around the place. Awaiting decent Spring tides and some storms for that exercise.
