I don't dislike gooseberries, just don't really like them that much either. They're a pain to harvest and prune and if this pest is guaranteed to defoliate them every year and potentially damage other, more important crops then they're not worth the bother. The larvae were even putting holes in the onion leaves! There's an allotment site about 200 metres away from our garden so I presume that's where they've come from.

The scale insects I really don't want to spread elsewhere, I've only just finished cleaning them off the poorly potted bay tree.

Anyway both plants are in the green bin now so problem solved!
