It ai'nt raining here, but it's blowing a real hoolie. Fortunately I've got to wait in for DPD while SWMBO is at Tesco. Good excuse not to go out.

Heavy rain forecast with brisk wind today. Actually quite bright but big scattered drops of rain so it may yet dump it on us.

I've just disconnected the battery on my friend's Vaughan and Schrodie has given the engine a good inspection . I don't know what he thinks.
He seemed a bit noncommittal !

Picking your nose works as well, although I do struggle to get my thumb clean.Top tip to get the green stuff off of your skin.
Use a squished unripe tomato, the acids in it clean everything up, very nicely.

@mudsticks - I have two very large verbascum Bombyciferum in my garden. There are some black and yellow caterpillars on a few of the leaves. Where there should be, or were, flowers, is now a sticky brown substance. Is that the cocoon (?) for a pupae?

I have saved some seeds from this plant. There are three very young plants, but I do think they like to be moved.

"Tendonitis in my poor knee! Frell. Although so long as I don't over do it or exert myself on the climbs I can cycle Ok. It's a horrible feeling though, coming downstairs and feeling the ligament twanging back and forth over the knee cap! 
Left my washing out last night, "it's not going to rain", says I. Woken in the early hours to the sound of torrential rain. Pants! My leg warmers won't work now! {they were hanging out on the line.

The sticky brown substance is probs just caterpillar poo.
But yes the mullein moth youngster is a 'very hungry caterpillar' he will strip whole plants.
Up to you if you squish them to save the plants, or let nature do its thing..
But don't use insecticide at least..

Thank you
They are such large plants, getting up to about six feet tall, and very few caterpillars. I do not use insecticides. My solomon's seals always get munched by something very small and white, but only after they have flowered.

They are rather bright (in colour). Then this morning there was a large brown moth in my bedroom , presumably the Mullein Moth.
