Thanks, Jimmy. No worries over the caterpillars. I had a quick look today and couldn't find any - I'm thinking that because I've encouraged birds into the garden, they've repaid me by helping me out. A relief, as I really didn't enjoy the thought of squishing them in any number (in future years I'm thinking netting will be the easiest solution, but you're right of course, healthy plants will withstand the odd nibble here and there). Cheers over the heads up with The Red Soldier Beetle, btw (I was being lazy again and relying on my oft-fragile memory/knowledge base).
Will continue to reply to this tomorrow, as I've let the clock run away with me again tonight, but thought to put your mind at rest over the 'pillars if you happen to visit meantime :o)
Best Regards,
Tim
