I'm moving soon from town to countryside and would like opinions on the following please.
Where I am I have never felt the garden was entirely healthy. While my flowers (all perennial) did bloom, there seemed to be a big aphid problem, and my apple tree had a rusty leaf problem which nobody seemed to know what it was (although we did get nice apples from it!) My honeysuckle too seemed to suffer problems where it was too busy fighting something to actually bloom last year.
We did get lots of bees, some butterflies, but nowhere near enough ladybirds. Lots of slugs and snails but no visitors such as frogs, hedgehogs or birds.
I always garden organically so maybe that's why the pests got problematic. I was hoping for natural predators but they never came
Been here just over four years so I know it pretty well.
I'd like to bring a couple of pots (sentimental reasons) to my new garden but I'm worried about introducing potential problems.
Advice welcome please!
