I had a plague of lily beetles in late summer so I am going to repot quite a few lilies into fresh compost before they go into the cold greenhouse

What a good idea - I hadn't thought of repotting them in autumn - I'll copy you if that's OK, Esther.

I've just repotted mine too

I got rid of the compost from most, but still have to deal with more.

You really wonder why we get them, although I seem to have missed them this year. I got the lily beetles though.

Too late to do mine now...they are all stashed behind the greenhouse with a couple of potted magnolias guarding them....I'm not pulling it all out now,....they can wait till the Spring. I would be interested to hear how your lilies perform next year....those of you who have just repotted theirs now

I haven't come across any vine weevils so far this year either, but I haven't emptied all the begonia pots yet, and that's where I've found them in previous years

I'm feeling really silly now, and annoyed with myself too.

I left a couple of pots of lilies that the vine weevils ate, and now of course the stems have fallen off the 'un-weevilled' pots, and I can't remember which is which. All I can do is tip all the pots out and see which bulbs have no roots.
