Popeye good idea to keep your violets in a pot or they tend to take over everywhere. Several years ago I had one little plant and now they are all over the place and I “weed” out buckets full all the time.
Found 4 caterpillars on the fennel and a couple on the lettuce yesterday. They seem to like fennel and I’m happy to use it as a decoy plant but the little pests still seem to like my other plants as well.
Having doctors in the family I agree Roma that they are really pressured at the moment - not made any easier as so many patients feel that they should be their priority and keep pestering them while they are trying to juggle the unexpected, emergencies and waiting lists all at the same time.
