What is eating my viburnum?
I have two Viburnum tinus ‘Spring Bouquet’ planted either side of the path to my front door. Since I mostly enter the house through the side garage, I didn’t notice this damage until recently. Any suggestions as to what may be responsible? Is insecticidal soap the best treatment?
I though viburnum were fairly resistant to insect damage. If fact, I have several viburnum davidii nearby that are completely untouched by whatever this may be.

Comments (660)So funny! I'm planning to paint the bannister at the new house (TNH) black and am veering towards painting the treads and risers black too... I've been searching for images of black staircases on Houzz and putting them in my entrance hall ideabook. They are few and far between. In your case, I think, with your white walls, maybe the stairs white and the bannister black? (Assuming the white walls continue up the stair walls enabling the b/w contrast.) You've already put black firmly into the equation, adding some more may give more reason for the black rad cab. In my case, there is a very off-centre radiator that could so very easily have been directly opposite the front door in TNH which is rather annoying as it stuffs up the focal point. We are leaving here with every radiator covered with a cabinet - and going to TNH that has loads of radiators ...but no cabinets! Yes, the work ahead is daunting - especially since the area of Ireland we're going to is very basic and not full of DIY resources, etc. I keep thinking I'll paint TNH white - to make things simpler(!) But try as I may colour keeps wandering through my mind! Lovely to be in touch again!...See MorePOLL: What time do you eat dinner?
Comments (25)Being an avid home gardener, wood worker, single home owner, and having to work on things around the house, it depends on what I'm doing and when I stop working on something; so for me, the time I eat supper can range from 7:00pm until 10pm; but when I plan a visit my dad, he has dinner at 5:00pm, so I have to be by him at about that time or he might put away the leftovers before I get there....See MoreNeed help with my Garden
Comments (46)Bearing in mind that you have young children, the focus of the garden in my opinion should be on them. A small patio/dining/relaxing area for adults near the house, and perhaps also at the end of the garden would be lovely. I would also have most of the garden redone in grass (real grass!) with room to play. And I would keep the fence... its the most practical having children near a river, even if they're not babies anymore. I would probably break up the unusual shape of the garden with a few pots, planters and borders 'sticking' out into the garden so the eye is drawn away from the sharp, narrow end. I agree with what was said above though about just living with the space for a bit and seeing how you use it....See MoreHELP!! what do I do with my island pendants??
Comments (24)Awww thanks Ellie, I was gutted for you to read about your flooring issues! Yea, the guys have really kept things moving forward. Downstairs Should be painted over the next week, then flooring goes down 18-20th..then they can fit the pocket doors into the frames, then they need to be painted! Then we can get all our furniture back! But next exam is the 3rd :-0 so Proper unpacking will be mostly after that! Need to order new wardrobes and a new bed! Can’t believe how much has happened! In the last few months! Back wall - plan is to get a wooden shelf (probably an upcycled scaffolding board one) for all my many recipe books, which will add some life and colour! And a magnetic strip for some knives :-)...See Moreedenchild
4 years agoThere are irrigation heads nearby but the system goes on at 4am and these bushes are on the east side of the house. They get full sun until noonish and then again later in the day, The damage is also on all sides of the shrubs. Here is the north side of the path...
And here is the south side...
