Wee jobs for the week

Tuberous begonias that were lifted in November and brought indoors should now be quite dry, so clean off any soil and store them in boxes in a frost-free garage or shed for the winter. Check tubers after a few weeks for any sign of vine weevils, as they love begonias and the grubs will slowly eat the corms if not eradicated.

Damage shows up as they burrow into the tuber leaving a wet hole.
