Allotment Catch Up, and Sunflower Toppling Culprits Revealed

Quick catch up from the allotment now I'm back from holiday. I harvest my broad beans, and the raspberries and currants. There has been a lot of rain lately so the water container is filling up nicely, but most importantly I find out what's been destroying my sunflowers.

    Good to see you back Dave, hope you and Victoria had a great holiday. Interesting about the wasps, I never knew they went after the sunflower stalk.

    Thankyou, it's been a bit longer than I expected but a few things got in the way of a video last week. We had a great time thankyou. The wasp thing was news to me too, couldn't believe it at first, but there you go. They're only interested in the bottom bit near the ground too, quite weird really. Cheers

    How rude you’d rather go on holidays with Victoria than entertain us 😂😂. Wow fab broad bean harvest 👍👍 and you got loads done. We have wasps that you can actually hear chewing the older pieces of wood in my garden. Perhaps tinfoil around the base 🤷‍♀️. Nice to have the family helping out 🥰 happy gardening 👩‍🌾, Ali 🙏🙏☔️🇨🇦

    Lots of catching up to do but I'm nearly there. Thanks - Tinfoil might work yes, I'm trying a few things out, hopefully one of them will work. And hopefully we'll get some nice weather soon too. Cheers

    Was a great few weeks thankyou. The wasp thing surprised me too, they don't seem interested in the rest of the plant, just right near the bottom, for some reason. Yep , broad beans were great, but no success with the green beans this year for some reason, you win some you lose some I guess . Cheers
