Patio tubs have to be watered everyday....it is becoming a chore...and water is precious.....<br /><br />The bugs have been illusive today....although I have seen many harlequin ladybirds. I am not happy about this....it is non native and is eating many of our good bugs including our native ladybirds. It was brought into Europe to control pests and has now got out of control....it arrived In Britain a couple of years ago and is spreading.
