26th July 2018

It is another scorcher today but we had to get into the car! Unfortunately we seem to have an infestation of the Box Moth on our three little Box trees at the front of the house. I did a bit of research and discovered the best insecticide to kill the larvae and the benefit is that it does not affect bees or any other insects.

The only place that seems to sell it is a garden centre - Clifton Nurseries all the way over towards Chertsey. It was so hot but we made it and after a quick purchase we had to sit down in the cool of the cafe and enjoy a pot of tea and very large slice of cake. The nurseries are really surprising and have full size trees growing in pots so if you have the money you can have an instant garden. This is a curled fern which reminds me of orangutang fur for some strange reason!
