No, but I'd take them off, they will be some sort of moth I would think and they only lay on food sources, ie your bush.

I reckon you've just painted the one green to put us off :rotfl:

Eggs do change colour though.

What happened to your "live and let live" philosophy? :whistle: :rotfl:

I'm still going to leave them. They can't possibly be as destructive as sawfly. And I didn't paint them. I haven't got any green paint.


See you all on July 12th. :wave:

I'd cut that leaf off pretty sharpish if i were you, Mr. Bad! Fling it over your neighbours garden or something...only jk....put the leaf somewhere else....far far away....hey, how about taking it on holiday with you ?

I'm not entirely serious about the latter.

Soubrette

A type of shield bug?

Although the eggs on google are all green.

Clutching at straws a little, but could be spider eggs - though it is an unusual place for them to be.

An evening of rain is forecast. I'm hoping the garden will recieve a damn good soaking, which I hope will rejuvenate the lawn, & really encourage my sprouts, cucumbers (now planted out) & courgettes.

I have some huge florets on my brocolli plants which look amazing! I will do some pruning at the weekend, & probably freeze them. :drool:

Have managed to scrounge up a bit of ground for my swedelings so have bitten the bullet and planted them out, all except two that I have put in large pots just to see what will happen, Hope you have good hols x

<pops in to do a weekend clear up for Mr BE>

Lots of :j happening in jellyland.

I picked the florets off my brocolli plants yesterday evening. There was a load. The freezer has a significant amount in it. Meal planning is occurring...:drool:

I also picked my very first ever courgette!:j What amazed me, was how it went from a small fruit, to a pick me now quickly fruit!:eek:

So I'm now asking the nice people for recipes including courgettes in them.
Couple of pointers: I don't eat red meat (except mince dishes). I have a nut allergy. I'm not a big onion or garlic fan. All suggestions welcome!:drool:

Chocolate courgette cake? :think: It would be rude not to, & apparently I bake a decent cake. I'd be grateful for your kindness nopot2pin if you have time.:A
