# lo matey.
My rather beleaguered Courgettes got a boost yesterday with a bumper crop of ladybird larva.
I think in the last 24 hours they've got rid of about 200 of the blighters.

Chutney, Chutney rhymes with Nutly how does your garden groooooow?

# Good to hear about the Lady(killer)bugs they do kick aphid ass!
And my garden does currently not grow due to the near drought conditions here in Lincolnshire.... No rain in nearly 4 weeks now.

# Oh dear.
I worked out a cheat for the hosepipe ban. THe ban doesn't legally extend to using a hose indoors. If you use a 1st floor window andproject out from within the building you're not actually using a hose for gardening.


EDIT: I've got a few frequent hoverfly visitors too that also kick butt.

EDIT EDIT: Can't be arsed to do I Fly Hard movie poster.
