The same goes I am afraid for many of the bugs that enjoy themselves in the garden munching away into your harvest. Butterflies are still around laying eggs and their previous batch of caterpillars are munching away causing havoc especially in the Cabbages and associate Brasssica. Nets can be used to stop the butterflies reaching the vegetable plants or a caterpillar spray should be used at regular intervals to remove the pests before they get bigger and find places to hide. Slugs are having a field day after all that rain and greenfly, aphids are still around but in lesser numbers than in previous months. The main thing is to keep the numbers of pests down now so that the overwintering population is less. This will then help in keeping down next years pest populations. Peas and Beans have welcomed the July rain and have been producing well. Potatoes have also welcomed the rain and by spraying against blight there have had no set backs. Remember to ventilate your polythene tunnels during the damp weather to help prevent botrytis and other funguses that might attack your succulent veges. As for the flower garden and shrubs there is not much to do except Templenoe friends and neighbours Jimmy Harrington, enjoy the splash of summer colour. The herbaceous plants will need a Austin Kelly and Gene Spillane enjoying the sunshine at bit of care and attention as some plants will need cutting back after flowering and others that are sending up flower spikes and about to Templenoe Regatta. pic Mary O'Neill flower will need supporting with bamboo canes or other types of support.
